How to treat dull skin with Chinese medicine

My skin has been dull and yellow since I was a child. What Chinese medicine can I use to treat dull skin? I have been particularly fond of beauty since I grew up. Every day when I go to work or go out, I have to use whitening cosmetics to cover up my original skin color. If I don’t wear makeup, I am embarrassed to go out. Over time, the skin on my face has not only not become whiter, but has become rougher and more dull. My bestie told me that I can try Chinese medicine for treatment. Many of my friends are taking Chinese medicine for treatment. What Chinese medicine can I take to treat dull skin like me?

If your skin is yellow or dark, you should eat more fresh fruits rich in vitamin C, especially cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, oranges, etc. A large amount of vitamin C can help restore melanin, prevent the formation of dark spots and freckles, make the skin more lustrous and radiant with healthy glow. Eat less animal liver, beans, peaches and other foods, because the copper or zinc contained in these foods will make the skin darker. In addition, you should also eat less photosensitive foods such as celery, fennel, white radish, and coriander, as they will cause dark spots on the skin after being exposed to the sun. Eating more tomatoes is a good choice. Using tomatoes to whiten your skin, long-term eating can supplement enough vitamin C, whiten your skin from the inside out, and also fight aging.

The liver directly affects the blood vessels. Excessive liver fire or stagnation of liver qi can easily lead to blood and qi stagnation, affecting blood circulation in the face and making the skin naturally dull and lifeless. The spleen is responsible for digestion and absorption. If the spleen is weak, the absorption of nutrients and conversion of energy in food will be affected. Yellowing of the skin and development of spots will follow; ancient medicine says that "the kidney governs the color black", which means that kidney deficiency will cause the skin to turn dark and yellow. Therefore, after diagnosis, you should take appropriate measures according to the cause of your illness and regulate your endocrine system. This is the key to improving your skin.

Drink milk before going to bed. Milk is the best beauty and nutritional supplement. Drinking it before going to bed can also promote the improvement of sleep quality and let you get a real beauty sleep.

Exfoliate regularly. If the stratum corneum is too thick and not treated in time, it will turn yellow and black, especially in the T-zone. If you do not use exfoliating skin care products such as scrubs regularly, the skin on your entire face will become dark and yellow. However, you should use the peel-off masks bought in shopping malls less often. Once a week is enough. Using it more often will damage the newly grown cuticle.

We need to fundamentally treat the problem of dull skin, but Chinese medicine treatment takes a long time and it is impossible to see results in one or two times. As long as you want to have bright skin and a beautiful face, you must persevere.
