Traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy for those who sleep late

Chinese medicine diet therapy for girls staying up late

If you can go to bed normally at 12 o'clock, you may happily shout God bless you. Every morning, big eye bags and dark circles replace your beautiful makeup. At this time, you have to consider your health and the health of your skin.

1. Pay attention to "dinner" before going to bed

If the skin does not get enough sleep, it will lose excessive nutrition (water and nutrients).

Eating foods containing vitamin C or collagen can help skin restore elasticity and radiance.

Dinner includes:

Foods rich in collagen such as "animal skin" and a large number of fruits are rich in vitamin C, or you can take 1 to 2 vitamin C tablets orally.

Avoid dinner:

Spicy food prevents excessive evaporation of moisture in the skin. People with sensitive skin should try to eat less seafood. Alcoholic beverages greatly reduce the absorption and retention of nutrients by the skin, so try to use them as little as possible.

2. Provide adequate water

When staying up late, you should pay attention to keeping the indoor air unobstructed and with a certain degree of humidity.

If you cannot change the quality of your environment (such as bars, restaurants, factory production lines, etc.), you must be more careful in skin care - use lotions that contain sufficient moisture and nutrients that are easily absorbed by the skin.

3. “Calmness” in the midst of noise

Due to lack of sleep, people who go to bed late usually drink strong tea or coffee, alcohol, etc. to stay excited. This can easily lead to dark circles, eye bags, dull skin, etc.
