70% of all your anti-aging stuff, except for that kind of cosmetic surgery, comes from sun protection, the other 20% comes from eating, and that last 10% is all kinds of serums that you spend all your money put on your face, but only 10%, just 10%. Therefore, the most important skincare method is an internal adjustment, followed by external support!
Let’s talk about outsourcing first:
- Mainly from three aspects: cleaning, moisturizing, sun protection.
clean
Everyone has always had a misunderstanding about cleaning that every time you wash your face, you must use a facial cleanser, otherwise, it can’t be called a face wash. Some people even feel that their face is not clean, and they have to buy a facial cleansing device for deep cleaning.
In fact, you can wash your face with water in the morning, don’t use a facial cleanser, because there are not too many pollutants on your face at night, you have to let the oil of the skin protect your face, and some people’s stratum corneum gets thinner and thinner after washing. Eventually, it becomes more and more sensitive.
Moisturizing
Without moisture in the skin, it becomes very dry and rough. Therefore, daily moisturizing work is a must. The skin is a metabolic organ, not an absorption organ. The thicker the skincare product is, the heavier the burden on the skin will be. Therefore, it is not necessary to use too many skincare products, and it is necessary to give the skin space to breathe freely.
sun protection
Everyone knows how important sunscreen is. It can be said that a person who insists on sunscreen all year-round will definitely be younger than his peers in twenty years!
There are two types of sunscreen: one is hard sunscreen and the other is soft sunscreen. The so-called hard sunscreen is to go out and wrap yourself tightly, but please note that people who wrap themselves tightly on hot days must bring a bottle of water and a small fan with them.
Soft sunscreen is all you need to do when you go out and apply sunscreen.
eye care
The eyes are the place that best reflects a person’s state. Older girls have wrinkles around the eyes, so anti-wrinkle eye cream must be used.
Let’s talk about internal adjustment, the method of internal adjustment is very simple, starting from three aspects
diet
Rest
sports
- Diet
Illness comes from the mouth, so we must be careful when we eat! What can be eaten more and what can not be eaten more, we must have a general recipe in our hearts.
Food not to eat
Sugar, especially coffee sugar after refining, granulated sugar, etc. Not only will it cause skin aging, but it will also promote acne breakouts!
But to really get a sugar addict to give up all sugar would be like killing him.
Therefore, everything must be in moderation and within your acceptable range!
Greasy and spicy food, especially those with a bad stomach, should not eat more.
Eating too much will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion, which will lead to unsmooth defecation, which will allow toxins to accumulate in the body for a long time, and will eventually erupt from the skin!
If you are constipated and have poor bowel movements, you can drink a bottle of yogurt before going to bed at night. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can accelerate gastrointestinal motility and facilitate defecation.
In addition, you can stack your hands on the navel before going to bed, turn clockwise 60 times, and turn counterclockwise 60 times, which is also a good way to promote gastrointestinal motility!
Of course, if you want to have a smooth bowel movement, the most important thing is to drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and increase dietary fiber.
food to eat
fruit
Kiwi: Rich in vitamin C, it interferes with melanin production, prevents hyperpigmentation, maintains fair skin, and helps eliminate freckles and other spots already on the skin.
Strawberries: A cup of strawberries contains 130% of the daily intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C promotes the production of collagen fibers, making the skin smooth and elastic, and the more vitamin C, the fewer wrinkles. Otherwise, it will lead to dry and wrinkled skin.
Apple: Rich in pectin, it helps bowel movements and speeds up the detoxification process. The large amount of malic acid contained in it not only helps in the breakdown of body fat but also helps in beauty. The antioxidant quercetin in apple peels protects the skin from short-wave ultraviolet (UVB) damage, which in turn prevents skin cancer.
Lemon: Rich in citric acid and vitamin C, it has the effect of preventing and eliminating skin pigmentation, making the skin fair and soft. If you mix some water in fresh lemon juice, add sugar, rock sugar, or honey, and drink it every day, you can make your face white and tender.
Tomatoes: The organic acids and cellulose it contains can promote digestion and prevent constipation. Tomatoes are also foods rich in vitamin C and niacin. Eating a tomato every day can not only resist aging but also make the complexion rosy and shiny.
Grapes: Especially suitable for “lazy” people, because the healthiest way to eat is “without peeling and spitting out seeds”. Grape skins and seeds are more nutritious than grape flesh. The reason why red wine has better health benefits than white wine is that it is brewed with skins. Studies have found that OPC, which is rich in immune-enhancing and anti-aging substances in grape seeds, is absorbed and utilized by 85% after entering the human body.
vegetable
Cauliflower: contains a lot of vitamins, especially the content of vitamin C is more outstanding, 2 times higher than citrus, 3 times higher than bean sprouts. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that can help eliminate free radicals in the body and strengthen the skin’s defenses.
Carrot: Known as “skin food”, it can moisturize the skin. In addition, carrots are rich in pectin substances, which can be combined with mercury, so that harmful ingredients in the human body can be eliminated, and the skin looks more delicate and rosy.
Asparagus: rich in selenium, it can resist aging and prevent various diseases related to excessive fat oxidation, making the skin white and tender.
Peas: It has the effect of “removing darkness and making the face shiny”. And it is rich in provitamin A, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which plays a role in moisturizing the skin.
White radish: rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is a good antioxidant that can inhibit melanin synthesis, prevent fat oxidation, and prevent lipofuscin deposition. Therefore, eating white radish often can make the skin fair and delicate.
Celery: Promote blood circulation, enhance moisturizing ability. It is rich in nutrients, protein, carotene, vitamin C, and other ingredients that can help promote the body’s metabolic cycle, maintain a normal cell renewal rate, so that the stratum corneum cells are more vibrant, enhance the ability to moisturize and lock water, and can effectively resist oxidation, delay skin aging.
- Work and rest
Everyone knows the dangers of staying up late, but if it doesn’t happen to me, I always feel far away from myself.
The news was that a 24-year-old girl stayed up all night and had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital. How many people felt scared when they heard the news? (I count one) The night before, I stayed up until after one o’clock. When I woke up after nine in the morning, I suddenly found that half of my body was as heavy as lead.
Staying up late is now the norm for young people, but most people stay up late in revenge!
revenge staying up late
During the day, you are either busy with work or busy with studying, and you have no time to relax at all. So at night, I started to stay up all night, trying to earn back all the lost time, trying to get revenge for the oppressed day.
In fact, the real revenge is not the oppressed day, but ourselves! Going to bed early is not only responsible for our lives, but also for our own skin!
- Sports
Exercise is not only physical exercise but more importantly, detoxification! I am a lazy person, and I don’t like high-load exercise. I usually only jog or do yoga exercises. Every time my body is slightly sweaty, I stop. However, there are times when people are extremely lazy and really don’t want to move at all. At this time, if you want to detox and sweat your body, a good way is to soak your feet!
Soaking your feet isn’t just a matter of washing your feet, it’s also very particular.
Expert advice:
Soak your feet in hot water for 15-20 minutes every day, preferably beyond the ankle to reach the calf; add some salt to the water, which can also play a role in anti-inflammatory and sterilization.
If the air conditioner causes a cold, headache, or fever, you can also use slightly hot water to soak your feet for more than 30 minutes. If you feel a little sweaty, the symptoms of the headache can be relieved.
It is best to do some simple massage after foot soaking, such as carefully looking for pain points on the soles of the feet (Yongquan acupoint), toes, and heels. Pressing and rubbing each pain point for three minutes will achieve a multiplier effect.
