It is said that internal nourishment is better than external nourishment. Cosmetics are one of the tools for women to maintain their beauty, but if your complexion is poor, using more cosmetics will be useless. It is better to try traditional Chinese medicine internal nourishment methods. How to nourish? Let's take a look together!
Reasons for poor complexion in women
1. Thick stratum corneum
If the skin's stratum corneum is too thick for a long time, it can easily cause a barrier to the skin's barrier, preventing skincare products from being effectively absorbed, resulting in a poor complexion.
2. Long-term staying up late leads to poor complexion
Staying up late for a long time can easily lead to endocrine metabolism disorders, resulting in dull, yellowish skin and loss of skin luster, leading to a poor complexion.
3. Skin dehydration
Pay attention to daily skincare, especially moisturizing. Once the skin is dry and dehydrated, it can easily cause the skin to age faster. This will also damage the skin's cell repair function, resulting in dull, lackluster skin and a poor complexion.
4. Computer radiation damages the skin
Staring at a computer for a long time exposes the skin to radiation, which can be harmful to the skin. It can cause dust to accumulate on the skin, invading the pores and causing them to become larger. As a result, the skin becomes rough, dull, and the complexion does not improve.
5. Poor blood circulation
Poor blood circulation or blocked energy flow can lead to naturally dull, lackluster skin and even a pale complexion.
