People with yellowish and dull skin often appear much older, just like the term "yellow faced woman". It not only means that the skin is aging, but also that our youthfulness is fading away. So why do we experience skin dullness? And how can we improve it?
Habit 1: UV radiation
Accumulation of melanin is the main cause of skin dullness, and it is closely related to UV radiation. Especially in summer, if the skin is exposed to UV rays, it will produce a lot of melanin.
Even in autumn, although the sunlight is not intense, UV radiation still has damaging effects on the skin, so we should remain vigilant.
Recommendation: When going out in summer, bring the three sun protection treasures: umbrella, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Do not let the skin be exposed, otherwise melanin accumulation is likely to occur.
Habit 2: Lack of sleep
The nighttime is when skin cell renewal is most active. New cells grow and old keratin cells are shed.
If you stay up too late or lack sleep, the metabolic function is disrupted, leading to thickening of the aging stratum corneum. The skin loses its transparency and appears dull and gray, even if you apply bright makeup, it can't hide the dullness on your face.
Recommendation: If you want even and radiant skin, it's best to go to bed before 12 o'clock every night!
Habit 3: Psychological stress
When a person is under psychological stress, the secretion of adrenal cortical hormones decreases, and the skin loses its resistance. Wrinkles, spots, and a dull yellow complexion easily appear.
Recommendation: Face life and work with a calm mindset. Take some time to relax with friends after work to relieve psychological stress.
Habit 4: Prolonged dehydration
Dehydrated skin becomes dry, flaky, and lacks luster. At this time, facing external pollution and UV radiation, the skin's self-regulating ability also decreases.
Recommendation: Strengthen moisturization and skincare. After washing your face in the morning and evening, apply moisturizing skincare products. For those who work in front of the computer, you can bring a moisturizing spray to hydrate the skin during breaks.
Habit 5: Staying up late
After 11 pm, the body enters a detox period, and during this stage, the skin undergoes renewal and cell growth. Staying up late at this time can disrupt internal detoxification, which can then affect skin health.
Recommendation: Adjust your daily schedule and develop good sleep habits. It's best to sleep before 11 o'clock.
