5 tips to nourish your beauty after your period

1. Check your period symptoms regularly every month

During your menstrual period, you can make your own daily symptom record sheet, and after your menstrual period is over, observe and analyze whether you are normal. Don’t underestimate this step! If you have abnormal menstrual blood flow, habitual severe menstrual pain, or even discharge blood clots, you may have uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammation, and other gynecological diseases!

In addition, through the observation record form, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and use cognitive behavioral techniques to control the stability of your body and mind. In this way, when premenstrual syndrome comes back again, you will no longer just avoid it, but face it positively and proactively to solve the root cause of the problem.

2. Self-examination of the breasts is most effective after menstruation

The size of a woman's breasts changes with the menstrual cycle. Usually in the later stages of the menstrual period, due to the stimulation of progesterone, the glands proliferate, causing the breasts to become swollen and more sensitive, and sometimes feel like a lump to the touch. Therefore, breast self-examination is most accurate if done within one week after menstruation. Once any abnormality is found, you can immediately seek help from a doctor, which also reduces the risk of breast cancer.

3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects are not only effective at night

Experts point out that from the perspective of preventive health care, if you do not pay attention to hygiene within 3 days after menstruation, it is easy for bacteria that do not cause disease on weekdays to take advantage of the opportunity and cause vaginal infectious diseases, such as bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc. If these infectious diseases are not treated promptly, they may spread and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

It is understood that most women choose to use gynecological topical medications at night to treat vaginal diseases. However, it is not enough to treat vaginal inflammation simply by killing bacteria and reducing inflammation at night. Experts point out that using medication only at night will usually extend the treatment of vaginal inflammation by 3 to 5 days.

4. Pay attention to your diet after menstruation to supplement nutrition and beautify your face

The first week after menstruation

When menstruation has just ended, the loss of yin blood is relatively large, and it is necessary to focus on nourishing yin and blood to promote the gathering of "yin" power in the body. When the yin blood is sufficient, you can prepare for the next menstruation. The dietary therapy for this stage is: 9 grams each of cooked rehmannia and processed Polygonum multiflorum, 3 grams each of angelica and stir-fried white peony root, 6 grams of donkey-hide gelatin, 3 longan meats, and one section of pork spine.

The specific method is to make soup, usually until the pork spine is cooked through. In the formula, cooked rehmannia nourishes kidney yin, processed Polygonum multiflorum nourishes liver yin, angelica promotes blood circulation and nourishes blood, donkey-hide gelatin and white peony root nourish yin and blood. Pig bones are a product of blood and flesh, and Chinese medicine believes that pigs are aquatic animals, so they are also yin-nourishing. When making it, you can add some seasoning according to your taste, but not too much. Just add a little salt. The soup tastes pretty good. Drinking it two or three days a week can help the growth of yin blood.

The second week after the menstrual period

At this time, Yang energy begins to grow and the female body enters the stage of preparing for ovulation. The nourishing method at this time is to promote the balance of Yin and Yang.

The specific diet therapy recipe is: 9 grams of cooked rehmannia, 6 grams each of angelica, red peony root, Ligustrum lucidum, and Cuscuta australis, one section of pork spine, and 50 grams of mutton. The preparation method is to make soup, which, in addition to the medicines that nourish yin and blood, adds Ligustrum lucidum to nourish kidney yin, Cuscuta australis to nourish kidney yang, and mutton, which is a yang-warming thing and a product of blood and flesh, is beneficial for promoting the growth of yang. At this time, pork and mutton are used together to promote the balance of yin and yang. This stage also lasts about a week, and female friends only need to take this soup for two or three days.

The third week after the end of menstruation is also the week before the next menstruation.

At this time, the Yang energy is more sufficient and will prepare for the next menstruation. The principle of diet therapy at this time is to replenish Yang Qi.

The specific dietary therapy recipe is: 9 grams of cooked rehmannia, 6 grams of angelica, 3 grams each of red peony root, dodder seed, and Morinda officinalis, 50 grams of mutton, and a piece of yam (about 7 cm long, sliced). Still making soup, yam can nourish the spleen and kidneys, Morinda officinalis can warm and nourish the kidney yang, and removing pork and using only mutton is to make the body's yang energy grow better. This dietary therapy recipe can be taken until the onset of menstruation.

5. Take the right time to take care of your skin after your period

Skin care after menstruation should be based on the principle of simple care. Appropriately reduce the intensity of cleaning, wash your face with ordinary facial cleanser, and add daily skin care products to help keep the skin in good condition.

The 10 days after menstruation is the period when the body secretes more female hormones. It is also the time when the skin metabolizes fastest and absorbs nutrients best. You might as well seize these 10 days to give your skin deeper moisturizing and boldly use high-quality nutritional products to increase skin moisturizing and smoothness. The skin cell regeneration capacity of mature skin has weakened, and it needs to be maintained with special skin care products that stimulate the production of elastic fibers. You can use low-irritation massage products to form a natural protective film on the skin and prevent skin from drying out. For people with oily skin, facial mask is more important than massage. During this period, you should choose skin care products more carefully and make appropriate adjustments according to your skin type. Detoxification and exfoliation: 4-14 days after menstruation are suitable for intensive and efficient skin care. Because of good blood circulation and good absorption, high-efficiency care can eliminate toxins and make the skin more radiant. In addition, this is also a good time to exfoliate and deep cleanse. The easiest way is to choose a mask with a deep cleansing effect, which can moisturize and cleanse pores at the same time!
