"Yellow-faced women" generally refer to women around the menopause, whose skin color is darker and duller. This is mainly due to the significant decrease in sex hormone levels during menopause, reduced sebum secretion, dry and rough skin, slowed keratinocyte metabolism, and reduced collagen and disordered arrangement caused by dermal collagen glycosylation.

Five strategies to prevent "yellow-faced women":

1. Strengthen basic skin care: focus on moisturizing to provide normal metabolism and repair conditions for the skin.

2. Strict sun protection: prevent photoaging and protect the skin from external aggressions.

3. Maintain a good attitude and living habits: maintain an optimistic attitude, ensure adequate sleep, exercise moderately, and maintain the best physical condition.

4. Utilize advanced medical beauty technology: For physiological aging, medical beauty methods can be used for intervention. For example, fruit acid treatment can promote keratinocyte metabolism and maintain skin vitality; water light injection can deeply moisturize and promote collagen regeneration; photorejuvenation can comprehensively improve skin color, remove spots, reduce redness, and rejuvenate the skin. It is recommended to perform it regularly every winter.

Through the above methods, menopausal women can effectively prevent and delay the appearance of "yellow-faced women" and maintain their skin's youthfulness and radiance.
