Women have dull complexion, two kinds of food can help you avoid dull complexion

Many female friends will have a dull, pale or gray complexion, rough skin, spots or wrinkles once they get older. So how to change this symptom? Try these two foods!

1. Red dates for anti-aging

Health benefits: Red dates are known as "living vitamin pills". The vitamin C they contain can inhibit the oxidation of certain substances in the skin, reduce the formation of melanin, and prevent pigmentation; the vitamin A they contain helps to improve the skin's water barrier properties. If used together with vitamin E (known as the "youth factor", it has antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects), it can delay and reverse skin aging. As the saying goes: "Eat three dates a day and you will never look old."

Specific method: Take 20 red dates, 30 grams of processed Polygonum multiflorum, 60 grams of polished rice, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. Peel and slice the prepared Polygonum multiflorum, boil it in water to get a thick juice, and cook the thick juice together with red dates and glutinous rice into porridge. When the porridge is almost cooked, add brown sugar for seasoning and boil it for one or two more times. Take it on an empty stomach every morning and evening. One course of treatment is 7-10 days, and the second course can be taken after 5 days. Especially suitable for women to prevent aging and remove wrinkles.

2. Lycium barbarum nourishes blood and moisturizes the skin

Health benefits: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wolfberry has the effect of "replenishing the deficiency of essence and energy, improving complexion, whitening, and prolonging life". Liu Yuxi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, praised it as "a top-grade tea with the taste of nectar, and one spoonful can prolong life." In modern society, competition is fierce and it is easiest to consume one's energy. If you can drink a cup of red and sweet wolfberry tea that tastes like grapes during a break at work, it can be regarded as a perfect embodiment of modern women treating themselves well.

Specific method: Take a small handful of wolfberries (about 20-30 grains) and 3-4 red dates. Put all ingredients into a teacup, brew with boiling water, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes, and drink frequently instead of tea. Or take 8 grams of longan pulp, 30 grams each of lotus seeds and water chestnuts, 50 grams of coix seeds, 10 wolfberries, add 500 ml of water, simmer for 1 hour, season with a little honey, and take it all at once. It is especially suitable for women to replenish blood, moisturize skin, whiten and nourish the skin.
