Why is the skin yellow and dry?

The importance of skin to us is self-evident. When there is any abnormality in our skin, our mood will become extremely bad. So what causes yellow and dry skin? What should we do? When this happens, we must face it with a calm mind and not be too anxious, as this will only make things worse. Let's take a look.

1. Eat some vegetables that are good for whitening, such as cucumber, winter melon, bean sprouts, asparagus, white radish, etc.

2. You can also add two drops of vinegar to warm water when washing your face.

Even white vinegar can moisturize and whiten your skin, but you must remember to apply some moisturizer after washing your face. It will be very good and effective at the beginning, but your skin will become dry over time. Since vinegar is an acidic substance and can soften the skin, don't drop a lot of vinegar in it to achieve whitening effects, as this will irritate the skin. I don’t need to introduce whitening facial mask products, there are many, and it depends on which product is suitable for your skin.

diagnosis

Yellow skin has its roots. Some are caused by bad living habits, and some may be organic problems. According to clinical research, 80% of skin problems are related to liver, spleen and kidney dysfunction. For example, the liver directly affects the blood vessels. Excessive liver fire or stagnation of liver qi can easily lead to poor blood circulation, affecting blood circulation in the face and making the skin naturally dull. 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.

Causes of symptoms

1. Yellowing of the skin caused by food: Carrots, pumpkin, orange juice, water spinach, cabbage, mango and other vegetables and fruits are rich in carotene. Excessive intake can cause carotenemia, which leads to yellowing of the skin, most obvious on the palms and soles, followed by the face and behind the ears. In severe cases, the skin all over the body can be affected.

2. Yellowing of the skin caused by drugs: Long-term use of drugs containing yellow pigments, such as atadipine, furans, etc., can also cause the skin to turn yellow.

3. Yellow skin caused by poor blood circulation: The liver directly affects the blood vessels. Excessive liver fire or stagnation of liver qi can easily lead to poor blood circulation, affecting blood circulation in the face and making the skin naturally dull.

4. Yellowing of the skin caused by oily sebum: The oil, old cuticles and dirt accumulated on the surface of the skin will cause yellowing of the skin if not removed in time.

5. Yellowing of the skin caused by pigment accumulation: If the pigment is not effectively removed, it will accumulate over a long period of time and cause yellowing of the skin.

6. Ultraviolet radiation causes yellowing of the skin: Ultraviolet rays are the main killer of skin aging. They can cause disordered skin texture, poor blood circulation, and melanin accumulation, making the skin dark and yellow.

7. Staying up late and lack of sleep for a long time cause yellow skin: Due to staying up late and not getting enough sleep, the liver and gallbladder cannot get enough rest, which may manifest as rough skin, dark spots, yellow complexion, etc.

8. Yellow complexion caused by accumulation of toxins in the body: Under normal metabolism, the food people eat passes through the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, and is finally discharged from the anus. The whole process can usually be completed within 12-24 hours, thus ensuring that waste does not stay in the intestines for too long. Because the waste has been in contact with the intestinal wall for too long, it will inevitably be reabsorbed by the human body, causing poisoning. Although the human body has such an anti-toxin function, fatigue, tension or other physiological reasons can cause metabolic dysfunction and endocrine disorders, causing the body's waste to remain in the body for a long time. The remaining waste begins to rot in the intestines, and the flora in the colon will continue to decompose the waste and produce toxins. These toxins are reabsorbed through the colon, continuously seeping out to pollute the internal environment, and then enter different organs of the human body through blood circulation, thereby entering the body and causing various diseases, such as memory loss, fatigue, sallow complexion, constipation, hemorrhoids, endocrine disorders, obesity, etc.

There are many reasons for yellow and dry skin. When this happens to us, we should adjust our work and rest time and eating habits. Don’t stay up late again and again for work or have an unbalanced diet. This will only make many things worse, and of course our life and work will also be affected.
