Essential skin care products for girls working night shifts

After 11 o'clock at night, the human body begins to recover and it is necessary to maintain good sleep during this time. Especially for women, whether they sleep well or not can be roughly seen from their faces. Women who do not sleep well are often prone to acne, dark circles and white spots. However, many women still have to work night shifts due to work. What skin care products should they use to alleviate facial problems at this time?

Pay attention to the nutrition of "dinner"

1. Eat more collagen-rich foods such as pig's trotters for dinner; take 1 to 2 vitamin C tablets orally; eat 1-2 kinds of fruits (rich in VC); in addition, the nutritional package of collagen and VC is my favorite. These foods are helpful for restoring skin's elasticity and radiance.

2. Eat more eye-healthy foods. Foods that are good for eyesight: longan pulp, yam, carrot, spinach, sweet potato, taro, corn, animal liver, beef, mulberry, red dates, cabbage, tomato, day lily, water spinach, wolfberry and various fresh fruits.

What I do is: drink a cup of mulberry tea. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mulberries are sweet and cold in nature, and have the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, promoting fluid production and moistening the intestines, and blackening hair and improving eyesight. Mulberry seeds are hailed by the medical community as "the best health fruit of the 21st century". Regular consumption can significantly improve the body's immunity and has the effect of delaying aging and beautifying the skin.

3. Avoid eating spicy foods and drinking alcoholic beverages to prevent excessive evaporation of moisture in the skin.

Take one spoonful of angelica powder every day. Angelica powder is most suitable for office workers who work in front of computers for a long time and those who stay up late. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "long-term viewing will damage the liver". Looking at the computer screen for a long time will damage the liver. Angelica sinensis is particularly effective in replenishing blood, has no side effects, and can directly improve the blood supply to the liver. It is best to eat angelica powder for a long time, which will be of great benefit to the body.

Provide plenty of water

Keep the indoor air unobstructed and with a certain humidity. I keep a humidifier on my desk all year round to improve the humidity of the air. If you cannot change the quality of your environment (such as bars, restaurants, factory production lines, etc.), you must pay attention to skin care - use lotions that contain sufficient moisture and nutrients that are easily absorbed by the skin.

You should blink your eyes more often to promote the secretion of tears and avoid dry eyes. After using your eyes at close range for a long time, you should move your eyes and practice looking near and then far to relax the muscles around the eyeballs and avoid eyes fatigue. As for acupoints, you should massage the Yintang, Jingming, Taiyang, Fengchi, Baihui and other acupoints, or massage from the inside to the outside of the eyebrows, which is also beneficial to vision care.

"Sleep late" but not "wash late"

The skin's working hours are between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm, when it enters the night maintenance state. I always make sure to clean and care for my skin during this period. After cleansing with a mild cleanser, apply a moisturizing and nourishing lotion containing ample moisture and nutrients. In this way, although the skin cannot enter sleep normally in the next stage, it can still get nutrients and water replenishment normally.

1. We will feel very tired when we stay up late, but no matter how tired we are, it is best not to go to bed to rest in the middle. It is like a machine that is turned on and off suddenly, which is very bad for the body. We must wait until we are done with our work before resting.

2. If you are not done with your work when you feel sleepy, you can drink stimulating drinks such as coffee or tea to refresh yourself, but be careful to drink it hot and the concentration should not be too high to avoid hurting your stomach.

3. When you stay up late, the brain's oxygen demand will increase, so you should take deep breaths from time to time.

4. After finishing your work, you must calm down. Even if you don’t want to sleep, you should sit in a chair and calm down.

Remedies after staying up late

1. Apply a facial mask (you can use a moisturizing mask) for five to ten minutes before going to bed or after getting up to replenish dehydrated skin.

2. When washing your face after getting up, use alternating cold and hot water to stimulate blood circulation in your face.

3. When applying skin care products, massage your face for five minutes first.

4. Drink a cup of wolfberry tea after getting up in the morning, which has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing the body.

5. Do some simple stretching exercises to stretch your muscles and boost your spirits.

6. Make sure you eat a full breakfast, but don’t eat cold food.
