Why can't the bride go out after pulling her face?

The bride can't go out immediately after pulling her face, mainly because she is afraid of bad luck. Traditionally, the bride's wedding is the most important and beautiful day in her life, so she needs special attention and respect.

In Chaoshan area, the bride can't go out immediately after pulling her face, because in local customs, after washing her face, the bride should wipe off the dirt and sweat stains on her face and throw a thin layer of powder on it to make her face smoother and look more beautiful. If you go out with water stains on your face, it will be considered disrespectful and unlucky to God and ancestors.

In addition, if the bride goes out immediately after washing her face on the wedding day, it will also be considered unlucky, because it will wash away her good luck. Therefore, brides in Chaoshan area usually wait at home for a period of time after washing their faces, and will not go out until the makeup on their faces is completely dry.

Generally speaking, the reason why the bride can't go out immediately after pulling her face is out of respect for traditional customs and culture and wishes for the bride's bright future.

This custom may be challenged and criticized in modern society, thinking that it is an unnecessary bondage and superstition, but many people still insist on this practice to show good luck and blessings. Of course, the specific situation and practice may be different due to different regions, cultures and families.
