How to improve sallow complexion

Most people with sallow complexions have a sallow complexion due to lack of nutrition in the body, or due to their daily work and rest and eating habits. People with sallow complexions look very bad in their mental outlook, and their skin quality and condition are very poor. If you want to improve the sallow complexion, you must start with hydrating your face, try not to stay up late, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink more water. Let’s take a look at what other methods can be used to improve the sallow complexion.

1. What is the reason for a sallow complexion ?

1. Excessive melanin

The dark yellow skin caused by the accumulation of melanin indicates that you do not pay attention to sun protection, and the skin color on your face or arms is different. Due to exposure to ultraviolet rays, the skin's stratum corneum is damaged and the skin surface becomes rough. Because the accumulation of melanin causes the skin to become dark and yellow, it requires continuous sun protection 365 days a year to block all external factors that may harm the skin. At the same time, you also need to take vitamin C drinks or granules every day, and you should eat more whitening foods such as purple rice, black rice and tomatoes.

2. Oxidation of cuticle

Free radicals cause skin aging, the stratum corneum is oxidized and the complexion appears yellow and dull. The causes of keratin oxidation include electromagnetic waves in life, computer radiation, smoking, and lack of sleep.

Due to keratin oxidation caused by external factors, you need to eat more foods that enhance skin resistance, such as honey lemon water, which can resist radiation and ultraviolet rays. At the same time, you also need to apply a layer of isolation cream or sunscreen on the skin and reapply it every 4 hours. If keratin oxidation is caused by your lifestyle habits or work and rest schedule, you need to change your bad habits. You can take vitamin E internally, either in the form of granular health supplements or in the form of natural fruits and vegetables, such as pumpkin, nuts, meat products, bananas, etc.

3. The skin’s water storage function is weakened

Skin aging causes the regulatory function of the stratum corneum to decline, the ability to respond to various external stimuli is significantly weakened, the water storage capacity is weakened, and the skin becomes sallow. It is urgent to enhance the skin's water storage function. First of all, you need to apply isolation cream and sunscreen without any dead corners to isolate it from external stimuli. Drink plenty of water, 8 cups a day. It is best to drink green tea or black tea to resist radiation. Eat more hydrating foods and fruits, and also pay attention to replenishing yin and qi. It is recommended to eat more fruits, fish, lean meat, sesame, walnuts, honey, white fungus, pears, red dates and other foods that prevent dryness and nourish yin.

4. Accumulation of old dead skin cells

Because of the cold weather, the body's metabolic function will be weakened, so it is easy for dead skin cells to accumulate on the face, causing the skin to become dark and rough, with enlarged pores and excessive oil secretion. You need to remove dead skin cells regularly.

The skin tends to be dry in winter, so it is not suitable to exfoliate excessively. Generally speaking, oily skin should be exfoliated once a week. For dry skin, use once a month. For combination and normal skin, use up to twice a month. If you have sensitive skin and it is in good condition, you can go exfoliating once a month, but you need to choose the exfoliating product carefully. Exfoliation is not recommended for skin with red blood streaks. Every time after exfoliating, apply a hydrating mask. You can eat some red dates for internal conditioning.

2. How to treat a sallow complexion?

1. There’s no harm in being picky, even with vegetables

The latest research in the United States has found that vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage are not only a good source of crude fiber, but can also remove excess water from the body during digestion and prevent edema. Experts suggest that if you don't want to wake up with swollen eyelids the next morning, you can eat some of these vegetables with dinner. Cauliflower, lettuce, and winter melon have the same effects. If you love beauty and health, you can eat more of these vegetables. 2. Drinking water is the best way to keep your complexion healthy and don’t let yourself become a container of caffeine

Excessive caffeine intake can lead to problems such as anxiety, accelerated heart rate and insomnia, and also indirectly affect our good complexion. Excessive caffeine intake makes us more prone to insomnia. How can we have a good face if we don’t sleep well? It is recommended to replenish water every day by drinking boiled water, eating fruits, drinking porridge, etc., and reduce caffeine intake.
