What is the reason why girls have a sallow complexion?

No matter when, the first impression is very important to everyone. If a person's complexion looks good, it will give people a sense of energy and make people look full of positive energy. The first impression is naturally very good. However, if the face is sallow, it always gives people a feeling of being sick, which will seriously affect the individual's temperament. In fact, there are many reasons that affect a person's sallow face. The following specifically introduces the reasons why girls have a sallow face.

Why does a woman's face turn yellow?

1. Staying up late for a long time and lack of sleep

If you don’t get enough sleep due to staying up late, your liver and gallbladder won’t get enough rest, which may manifest as rough skin, dark spots, yellow complexion, etc.

2. Malnutrition

Nowadays, many women are trying hard to lose weight for the sake of beauty. They eat fruits in moderation and rarely eat staple foods and meat, which leads to malnutrition. Most of these people have yellow and dull complexions.

3. Anemia or insufficient Qi and blood

It is common to see people with yellow faces, which are mostly just slightly yellow or yellowish. This happens mostly to people with anemia and insufficient qi and blood. The gastrointestinal digestion and absorption ability of these people is generally weak, which leads to malnutrition.

4. Changes in body functions

If your face suddenly turns yellow, it may be a sign of abnormal liver and gallbladder function. Patients with acute icteric hepatitis, gallstones, acute cholecystitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. often issue the above-mentioned "yellow alert".

5. Yellow complexion is a sign of spleen deficiency

A sallow complexion is mostly due to spleen deficiency and poor circulation of qi and blood; if the complexion manifests as yellow fat, it is due to spleen deficiency and poor circulation of qi and blood, which leads to internal fluid retention; if the face and urine are both yellow, it is mostly jaundice, which is divided into yang jaundice and yin jaundice. Bright jaundice is yang jaundice, which is caused by fumigation of damp heat, while dark jaundice like smoke is yin jaundice, which is caused by stagnation of cold and dampness.

6. Food causes

Some foods can cause a yellow face, such as carrots, pumpkin, orange juice, water spinach, cabbage, mango and other vegetables and fruits that are rich in carotene. Excessive intake can cause carotenemia, which leads to yellowing of the skin, most obvious on the palms and soles, followed by the face and behind the ears. In severe cases, the skin all over the body can be affected.

How to improve yellow complexion?

1. Eat some hawthorn

Experts recommend that if you love beauty and health, you should drink a cup of hawthorn tea every day, because hawthorn has obvious effects of lowering serum cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, diuresis and sedation. It can strengthen the heart, increase coronary blood flow, dilate blood vessels, and make the complexion rosy. It can be said that hawthorn is a "good complexion" food that every woman should eat. In addition to hawthorn, classic women's foods such as red dates and figs can also be used as daily snacks. Because they all contribute to our good complexion.

2. Massage the Xingjian acupoint

Xingjian acupoint is an acupoint on the liver meridian. It is located on the dorsum of the foot, between the big toe and the second toe. It is an acupoint that stimulates the liver meridian and can help open up the liver meridian.

Massaging the Xingjian acupoint is very helpful for soothing the liver and regulating qi, and is more suitable for people with liver depression, qi stagnation or liver fire. Women with yellow complexion can help improve their skin condition by regularly massaging this acupoint. For patients with liver disease, although massaging the Xingjian acupoint cannot cure the disease, it can dredge the liver meridian, regulate qi and blood, improve liver function, and has a good effect on alleviating the condition.

3. Take a nap and enjoy your midday beauty

For office workers, taking a nap is a luxury. But more and more studies have found that taking a nap every day at noon can help maintain energy in the afternoon in the short and long term for health. A nap in the afternoon can give the brain and body a double rest, making us look better and more energetic throughout the day. It should be noted that if you are resting at your desk, it is best to turn off the computer to eliminate radiation.
