章 1259: Chapter 1258: Sooner or Later Peel Her Skin_1

As the empress of Daqi, the most prestigious woman in the country, Yao Xian often had to meet with noble ladies from the Capital City.

To hide the fact that her face had been tanned, she applied a heavy layer of powder when meeting with these noble ladies.

Powder is white and can cover up the original skin color.

But at that time, the manufacturing level of cosmetics was limited, incapable of producing the seamless, translucent effects of later generations. Too much powder gave her face a ghastly pallor, which looked very eerie.

Yao Xian stared at her reflection in the bronze mirror, growing more irritated the longer she looked.

A woman's mood often reflects on her face. When one is in good spirits, the complexion appears fair with a healthy blush. But when irritated, the inner fire flares up, and acne appears on the face.

Not only had she not solved the problem of her darkened skin, but now acne had broken out, making matters even worse.
