What should I do if my skin becomes dark and yellow?

The quality of a person's complexion is closely related to the person's physical condition. Everyone knows that if a person is in good health, has sufficient qi and blood, and has good sleep quality, his skin often looks white, rosy, and moist. If a person is malnourished, has disordered digestion, often suffers from constipation, and lacks qi and blood, it is easy for the skin to become dark, black, and dull. So what should we do if the skin becomes dark and yellow? Here are some treatments for dull, yellowish, and darker skin.

Supplement iron and folic acid: People with yellow face and dark skin need to supplement folic acid and iron every day. Folic acid and iron deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia. The iron content in vegetables is low and poorly absorbed, but fresh green vegetables are rich in folic acid. Folic acid is involved in the production of hemoglobin, so you should also eat more vegetables. You can also buy iron folic acid tablets at the pharmacy.

Eat more red dates and longans: As the saying goes, "Three dates a day will keep you immortal." Eating three dates a day can replenish blood, regulate menstruation, and promote blood circulation. Red dates and longans are suitable for people with blood deficiency, pale complexion, palpitations, anemia, and more. Regular consumption can remove spots, beautify the skin, treat facial dark spots, and weight loss.

Dietary treatment: Dietary treatment is a good way to treat a dull complexion, but the effect will be slow. If you want to restore the radiance of your facial skin, you must persist in doing it every day. The diet should be balanced, and you should eat more meat such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb, rabbit meat, dog meat, quail, pork tripe, fish, etc. to supplement the collagen in your skin. Fresh vegetables include: yam, potato, pumpkin, winter bamboo shoots, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, lentils, etc. for replenishing qi. Foods that can replenish blood include black fungus, day lily, spinach, carrots, lotus root, and hair algae. Fruits include: chestnuts, lotus seeds, coconuts, mulberries, lychees, pine nuts, longan meat, dates, peanuts, cherries, raisins, etc. to supplement the body's trace elements.

Lubricating the intestines and promoting bowel movements: Eliminating toxins from the body is very important for people with yellow complexion and dark skin. Eat more whole grains and vegetables, drink more warm water, and avoid eating cold and raw foods. Depending on your physical condition, you can do some aerobic exercise to promote gastrointestinal motility, which will help with bowel movements, ensure the excretion of toxins from the body, and reduce dull complexion, dull skin, dark spots, etc. People with severe constipation can take Qingwei Huanglianhuang Pills, Changqing Tea, Maren Pills, Wuzirunchang Pills, etc. to promote bowel movements.

Skin care: Supplement enough vitamin C and vitamin E every day to condition the skin from the inside out. Ensure adequate sleep, stay up late less, exercise appropriately, relieve stress, and pay attention to daily sun protection. It is best to use a full set of skin care products. Every time you wash your face, add a small amount of white vinegar to warm water. You can soak your face or mix it evenly and apply it on your face. Doing this regularly can make your skin smooth, delicate and bright. Apply a whitening mask to your face once or twice a week.

Eating donkey-hide gelatin cake: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that donkey-hide gelatin has the effect of nourishing blood, moisturizing the skin, beautifying the skin, regulating qi and blood, and treating symptoms such as endocrine disorders, restlessness and insomnia, premature skin aging, and dull complexion.

Dietary taboos: Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy foods. Eat mild and soft foods for nourishment. Avoid eating raw, cold, and cool foods. At the same time, eat less barbecued and smoked foods, and eat less soy sauce.

Menstrual regulation: Before menstruation, boil eggs with motherwort to regulate symptoms of menstrual cramps and abdominal pain. For blood stasis type or blood clot type menstruation, you can eat Motherwort + Angelica Essence to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Pay attention to nutrition and sleep, and drink plenty of water. Soak your feet before bed.

Avoid staying up late: Staying up late for a long time is largely responsible for dull skin. Adjust your work and rest time, go to bed early and get up early, develop a regular life, and strictly implement it. You will see changes in your face soon.

Aerobic exercise: Develop an aerobic exercise plan, such as yoga, jogging, badminton, skipping rope, etc. Persisting in exercise can not only help you recuperate, be energetic and have a rosy complexion, but also improve your body's immunity and maintain your body's flexibility and youthful figure.
