Why is this? Because I didn't identify my physique, I blindly followed the trend and made up for it! I was interested in TCM health preservation before, so I specially studied Professor Qu Limin's TCM Health Preservation from the Internet and learned that people's constitutions can be divided into eight categories. Like me, my skin is greasy, my pores are thick, I am prone to acne, and my personality is irritable. I belong to that miserable damp heat constitution! ! ! Tears burst, you said I was miserable! ! !
Why am I in this constitution? Chinese medicine believes that physique is "inherited from birth and cultivated the day after tomorrow", that is, there are both genetic factors and acquired factors. Well, I admit that my parents have bad skin. When they were young, they seemed to be like me, but when they think about it calmly, it seems that the influence of the day after tomorrow is even greater. Take me for example. First of all, because of my work, I am a person who sleeps late. I usually go to bed at one or two in the morning, play with my mobile phone and watch Weibo. In terms of diet, as a Sichuan girl, how can she not eat spicy food? Therefore, every lunch is spicy, and sometimes she will stay up late to work overtime and have a barbecue ... Well, after staying up late, she must sleep late in the morning, exhausted and seldom move. In addition, at work, I always encounter all kinds of unpleasant things, and my temper is getting more and more impatient, but I can't show it, so I have to suppress myself ... So many times, I let myself fall into a vicious circle, from the inside out, turning myself into a beautiful woman and an ugly person who feels unclean and greasy.
So we must make up our minds to change and come up with our own ways to improve damp heat constitution. First, change the schedule, go to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening, and start to metabolize toxins in the body at noon (23: 00 ~ 0 1: 00), so go to bed early, look good and have a clear head. Acne was particularly serious before. The old Chinese doctor who went to see a doctor emphasized that it took half a year to go to bed early and not stay up late before this evil acne was cured. Second, your eating habits don't suit you. Spicy is delicious, but it encourages moisture in the body, especially for people like me, so eat less. So every morning, coarse grains+soybean milk (or cereal milk), eggs or steamed bread will become lighter at noon, as well as dry pots, hot pots, skewers and barbecues. Eat as little as you can. Dinner, sometimes millet porridge+coarse grains, and sometimes a bowl of simple noodles, can be eaten to eight points full.
Third, eat less sweets. Sweet things are worse than spicy ones, which will affect the digestion of the spleen and stomach and make it more difficult to eliminate moisture from the body. Therefore, try to choose snacks such as bread and whole wheat. Fourthly, you can soak lemonade, green tea and the like at ordinary times, and especially recommend a red bean coix seed soup, which is especially good for damp heat constitution. Red beans are flat, diuresis, and coix seed is also excellent in removing damp heat. This soup is very suitable for drinking in summer.
Fifth, in winter, it is not easy for people like us in damp heat constitution to make up more. Beef and mutton are warm ingredients and are not easy to overdo. Otherwise, it will aggravate the damp heat in the body, grow acne on the face, and be restless in the body, which is not good. Tremella soup is a good thing, yin beauty. Can douse the internal fire of the body (no sugar or less sugar).
Sixth, and most importantly, exercise! You better sweat! Accelerating internal circulation and eliminating sweat are good means to accelerate damp-heat metabolism. Running, aerobics, equipment, yoga, various methods, I really feel that my skin has improved a lot and I am in a good mood! In fact, I also suggest that damp heat constitution cupping is really relaxing after spring. Finally, if something goes wrong, you really have to learn to let go and talk to your friends instead of hiding your pain in your heart.
Up to now, I am 30 years old, and I am still sticking to these habits. Slowly, I found that my tongue coating was not as thick as it was in the morning, my skin was getting better, my temper was not so impatient, and my mental state was improving. I am pregnant now, and I will be a mother in a month. I hope the baby will try not to inherit my constitution.
In fact, writing so much really wants to warn everyone not to blindly follow suit. What is suitable for others may not be suitable for yourself. It is good to distinguish whether you have the same physique as me. Also, don't just care about the face. It's just appearance. Internal and external adjustment is fundamental. Instead of spending more money on skin care products, it is better to adjust your body and keep your internal organs healthy, so as to have a clean and peaceful appearance.
