7 tips to free your mood and say goodbye to dull and stressed skin

Yellow, dull skin, and even acne are actually caused by stress! Spend 10 minutes more every day, learn the following methods, make some small changes, drive away stress, relax your mood, and say goodbye to stressed skin.

1. Massage under the big toe

Let me tell you a trick to quickly relieve irritability - massage the area under your big toe. In reflexology, the area under the big toe is believed to be related to the pituitary gland, which controls hormones. Therefore, pressing it can reflexively stimulate the secretion of stress-relieving hormones, which is also effective in improving emotional irritability before menstruation.

2. Getting up on time can activate detoxification of the whole body

The latest health research from the University of Michigan found that if you can get up on time every morning (keep the error in getting up within 30 minutes), your body's detoxification system will be activated early in the morning and more effectively excrete metabolic toxins accumulated in the body last night. However, I would like to remind you that “get up on time every day” also includes weekends, which means you cannot sleep in on weekends, otherwise your detoxification routine will be affected.

3. Lack of sleep for 5 days will cause premature aging of endocrine function

If you often stay up late, or do not get enough sleep for several consecutive weekdays and only make up for it on the weekends, then you have to be careful, because your endocrine system will "age prematurely." The latest health research in the UK found that after five consecutive days of sleep deprivation, the function of the pituitary gland in the brain that is responsible for controlling the body's endocrine system will be affected, leading to a decrease in growth hormone secretion and an increase in glucocorticoid secretion. This change is similar to the changes in the elderly and will lead to a series of disorders in the endocrine system. Therefore, if you don’t want to age prematurely, you must ensure adequate sleep every day. Otherwise, no matter how many skin care products you apply, it will be useless.

4. Do face-lift massage every morning and evening

Before applying skin care products every morning and evening, spend 3 minutes doing a face-slimming massage. It can not only activate facial detoxification, improve blood circulation, and promote skin cells to better absorb the nutrients in cosmetics, but also help you effectively correct your face shape, making it look smaller and more refined. Before massage, you need to cleanse your face and neck thoroughly, then apply toner and lotion, and then apply a large amount of cream on your face and neck (choose a soft, non-sticky product), and then follow the steps below to complete the massage:

Put your index finger, middle finger and ring finger together, and use the fingertips to push from the center of the forehead to both sides until they reach the auricle. Repeat for 1 minute.

Use the tip of your middle finger to press the area between the cheekbones and nose with a little force, hold for 3 seconds each time, and repeat for 1 minute.

Put your index finger, middle finger and ring finger together and place them on both sides of the corners of your mouth. Then push upwards with your fingertips. Hold for 3 seconds. Then slide your fingertips towards your temples. Repeat for 1 minute.

Bend your index finger, and use the second joint of your index finger to push from the inside of your jaw to the back, and then from the back along both sides of the neck to the clavicle. Repeat for 1 minute.

5. Drink at least 2 liters of water after full body massage

After you have a full body massage in a salon, especially a lymphatic massage, you need to drink at least 2 liters of water to help the body effectively eliminate all metabolic waste. Because the lymph fluid containing metabolic waste needs to merge with the blood in the human body, then be processed by the kidneys and liver, and finally be excreted from the body. During this process, a large amount of water is required, otherwise the detoxification effect of massage will be greatly reduced. In addition, because another part of the lymph fluid will be discharged from the body through the sebaceous glands, it is also necessary to do exfoliation care the next day after the lymphatic massage.

6. Try the traditional Indian stress relief massage

This stress-relieving massage is an anti-stress trick that has been passed down in India for hundreds of years. Dip your two thumbs in hot tea tree oil, and press the area between your eyebrows alternately from bottom to top, while doing abdominal breathing in the rhythm of the pressure. Do this massage once before going to bed every day for 3 minutes each time. The stress accumulated in the brain during the day will quickly disappear, making you feel relaxed. You can do this ancient massage method yourself or help your loved one do it. In addition to using tea tree essential oil, you can also choose other essential oils you like, such as rosemary, lavender, rose, etc.

7. Heat compress on lower back

When you feel depressed, applying hot compresses on both sides of the lumbar spine can fill your heart with a warm sense of happiness and instantly lift your mood. If you don't have the conditions for hot compress at the moment, you can also make fists with both hands, and then use your fists to rub both sides of the lower back spine up and down, rubbing with a little force until it becomes warm.
