1, detoxify after using skin care products.
When we use certain skin care products, our facial skin will become red or prone to acne. All the people at the consultation counter know that this is a normal manifestation of skin detoxification, so don't worry. Stick to it for a period of time, and the skin will be obviously improved. However, when the whole bottle of products is used up, the skin has not yet recovered to the ideal state, but the acne has become more and more unscrupulous, and I feel that I have been cheated in all aspects. At this time, the response given by the brand seems to have aroused our confidence in the product, because the poison has not been completely discharged, and it takes more than 3 bottles to see the obvious effect. Since the skin condition is already very messy, it is better to continue to use it. When the deadline for the brand to recommend the use of three bottles comes, there will probably be only two situations, either the skin is delicate and healthy, or it is as bad as ever. At this time, you may be confused in all aspects. What poison is so stubborn that it sucks up the purse and fails to live up to our appearance?
In short, all the garbage that is not needed in the body, remains in the body after metabolism and cannot be discharged normally can be called toxins. For example, carbon dioxide, lactic acid crystals, metabolic waste of skin and intestine, waste in lymph, salt, etc.
Excessive carbon dioxide content will inevitably reduce the oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. When the oxygen carrying capacity in blood can't bring normal nutrition supply to the skin, the skin will be dull, and the concentration of carbon dioxide is too high, which may even cause suffocation and life-threatening.
Lactic acid crystallization is called uric acid crystallization, which is a very representative metabolite. For a simple example, if we exercise a lot, our bodies will be stiff and sore the next day. This is because uric acid produced by metabolism in the body forms crystals and adheres to muscles and joints, causing adverse reactions. Only when uric acid crystals are completely decomposed can the pain be alleviated.
Garbage in skin can refer to sebum or mites with malignant fatty acids in pores, or it can refer to oxidation products in deep skin. Pore blockage and metabolites of mites are harmful substances to the skin, which can cause skin problems such as acne; Metabolic waste in cells is an important cause of deep skin problems such as senile plaque.
Metabolic wastes in the intestine are generally metabolites of harmful bacteria and residues that cannot be excreted, and these toxins are easily recovered by the body, causing various problems.
Lymph, like spleen, is an important part of human immune organs. Poor lymphatic circulation will lead to excessive garbage and waste in the human body can not be excreted normally, thus inducing systemic problems.
Both the salt that can't be metabolized normally in the body and the excessive salt intake in the diet are considered as wastes that the body doesn't need under certain circumstances, that is, toxins. Excessive salt in the body will not only affect the normal circulation of body fluids, but also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems such as hypertension.
2. How to detoxify the skin
As the biggest barrier organ of human body, skin not only protects other tissues, but also has a complete detoxification system. Sweat glands excrete body fluids, which are mixed with garbage and toxins produced in various metabolic processes. To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between sweat and urine in essence; Sebaceous glands are responsible for the secretion and excretion of sebum. If sebum excretion is not smooth, it will cause acne and blackhead problems.
Not only that, when microorganisms such as bacteria invade the human body through the skin, the skin will erect a shield. When bacteria that fail to defend invade the skin, macrophages in the skin will choose to die with harmful substances such as bacteria, which is the phenomenon of suppuration that we can see with our naked eyes.
As for skin problems such as redness, swelling and acne after detoxification with skin care products for a period of time, on the one hand, it may be because the immune function of the skin is stimulated and the defense ability tends to be normal. For example, A-acid dermatitis, which occurs when all-trans A-acid is used, can resolve itself within a few weeks. On the other hand, it is allergic reaction of skin, such as severe intolerance to some ingredients in the product, or serious rejection to allergens such as antiseptic system, perfume and pigment in the product. Therefore, if you can't get rid of acne, redness or itching for a long time when using a skin care product that claims to expel skin toxins, you need to consider whether your immune system is resistant to some details in the product, in other words, you are allergic. At this time, you should stop using all skin care products and go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital.
3. How does the body detoxify?
Like skin, various organs of the body also have their own detoxification systems, such as liver storing blood to detoxify, lung expelling carbon dioxide, and spleen fighting bacteria and microorganisms. We usually pay more attention to body detoxification, mostly lymphatic detoxification and intestinal detoxification.
Lymph is responsible for the circulatory system of the whole body and is an important immune organ, so when the human body is attacked by bacteria and has an inflammatory reaction, it will be accompanied by the enlargement of lymph nodes. For this reason, the normal work of lymph can help to remove the garbage and toxins produced by people in the process of metabolism. If the lymphatic circulation function is abnormal, it can show obvious changes on the skin, such as a large number of acne spots, dull skin color and no luster.
Intestines play a more prominent role in the process of detoxification. Our own excretion must rely on the intestine to excrete metabolites and garbage, similar to the relationship between kidneys and urine. When a large number of abnormal flora grow in the intestine or there is too much waste accumulated in the intestine, the flora balance of the whole intestine will be disturbed, and diarrhea or constipation may occur according to different people's constitutions, and then corresponding symptoms will appear on the skin.
Method for accelerating detoxification of skin and body
1. Use skin care products that can resist oxidation or enhance the activity of mitochondria in cells, so as to help remove the garbage inside cells and the oxidation that occurs in cells instead of cuticles.
2. increase the amount of drinking water appropriately, so that the toxins are excreted with urine or sweat.
3. Eat more foods with high content of insoluble fiber, that is, crude fiber, to help clean up the garbage and bacterial metabolites attached to the intestine.
4. Fermented dairy products contain probiotics, which can help balance the intestinal flora and maintain a healthy and stable intestinal state.
5. Cupping and scraping can improve local microcirculation, eliminate blood stasis, dredge blocked meridians, and promote the rapid excretion of toxins with body fluids.
4. Bad habits of skin care
Bad habit 1: Apply toner by hand.
Many people like to pour the toner directly on their hands, thinking that patting it with their hands will make the toner easier to absorb. In fact, it is a waste to pour toner on your hand and pat it. It won't be cleaned again, and the toner will run away when you pat your face. The correct way should be: take a proper amount of toner to soak the cotton pad, and then gently apply it to the cleaned face, which is also more hygienic.
In particular, it is necessary to remind that it is best to wipe pores in the opposite direction, according to the order from inside to outside and from bottom to top, so as to better clean and absorb again.
Bad habit 2: Wash your face alternately with hot and cold water.
Many girls like to wash their faces with hot water, thinking that hot water will clean their faces. Actually, it is not. Although high temperature can clean them well, it also destroys the protective film of the skin, which not only makes you feel tight and uncomfortable, but also makes the skin more and more oily and the pores bigger and bigger.
Some girls like to wash their faces with cold water, thinking that it will shrink pores, but in fact, using cold water will greatly reduce the intensity of cleansing, so the skin will not be cleaned.
Bad habit 3: Wipe your face with a towel.
What do you dry after washing your face? Many people's answer is: use a towel. In fact, rough towels rubbing on delicate skin will not only hurt and irritate the skin, but also make the skin grow fine lines. Moreover, long-term wet towels are beneficial to the growth of various microorganisms. Washing your face with a wet towel is tantamount to smearing all kinds of bacteria on your face.
The correct way should be: after washing your face, choose a very soft sponge or cotton pad, gently touch and absorb excess moisture on your skin, and at the same time, don't wipe it too dry, leaving a moist water film on your skin. Especially when you have acne on your face, you must use facial tissues instead of towels and absorb water by pressing to avoid bacterial infection.
Bad habit 4: Apply eye cream quickly.
I got used to it quickly when I applied eye cream. It was very powerful and it was finished after three or two times. In fact, if you want to be beautiful, you can't be lazy, because the skin around your eyes is the most fragile part of your face. If you daub it hard or pull it excessively, it will make more and more wrinkles.
The correct method of applying eye cream is to gently apply it to the skin around the eyes with the middle finger pulp. Move slowly and lightly. You can gently bounce around your eyes and massage in a certain direction.
