Toxins, the new killer of skin, are everywhere. No matter how exquisite modern women are under pressure, they can't shut out "toxins", but they can destroy the skin invisibly.
It is urgent to detoxify the skin!
PART 1: test: how deep is skin poisoning?
Want to know how much poison is hidden in your skin? Sometimes you can't see clearly with a pair of naked eyes. After completing the following test, you can know how deep your skin is poisoned-
1, these two months have been extremely stressful. I often work overtime and I am used to falling asleep in the early hours of the morning. (Yes, No)
The skin color seems to have deepened a lot recently. Of course, it's not a healthy wheat complexion, but a dull bronze color. (Yes, No)
3. When I looked in the mirror in the morning, I found that my skin was dull and looked obscure. (Yes, No)
4. When I saw my former colleagues on the way to work, they all said that you looked much haggard. (Yes, No)
5, three meals are irregular, most of them are takeout or fast food. (Yes, No)
6. The weather is not so hot, but there is more and more oil on my face. (Yes, No)
7. There are pimples and comedones on cheeks, forehead and chin. (Yes, No)
8. The original spot color has become heavier. (Yes, No)
9. The skin is dry and rough, and I feel bad. (Yes, No)
10, skin resistance decreases, and hypersensitivity is easy to occur. (Yes, No)
1 1, there are fine lines at the corners of the eyes and corners of the mouth, although they are not obvious. (Yes, No)
12, dark circles and bags under the eyes come uninvited, although you always insist on using eye cream in the morning and evening. (Yes, No)
Look at the situation of 12 above. How many of you answered "Yes"? The results show that the more these symptoms appear on you, the more toxins are accumulated in your skin, and the more urgent it is for you to detoxify.
Part II: Where did the toxin come from?
What contributes to the growth of toxins? And why do those toxins cross the layers of skin barriers and reach the depths of the skin? In the face of poisoned skin, the first thing we have to do is to find all the sources of skin poisoning:
Environmental pollution:
There is a natural enzyme detoxification system in our body, which can purify deep cells, neutralize "epidermal toxins" and turn them into harmless substances. When the environment deteriorates due to huge pollution, so that the natural enzyme detoxification system cannot work normally, epidermal toxins will accumulate and cannot be eliminated normally.
Computer radiation:
Modern office and living equipment such as computers, photocopiers and mobile phones will not only optimize efficiency, but also radiate to the skin, leading to the accumulation of toxins.
Excessive pressure:
Excessive stress directly affects people's mental state, diet and sleep. When these are disrupted, the normal circulation, metabolism, cell regeneration and oxygen delivery in the body will also become chaotic, so that toxins cannot be eliminated normally.
Poor maintenance:
If the greasy, old cutin and dirt accumulated on the skin surface are not removed in time, they will penetrate into the inner layer of the skin over time and form toxins. Harmful chemicals such as lead and mercury contained in inferior skin care products can also cause skin poisoning.
Excessive drinking and smoking:
Even cigarettes with extremely low coke content and light beer with alcohol content of 10% will produce toxins in the body. These aggressive chemicals will invade skin cells, destroy connective tissue and promote premature death of skin cells.
Cumulative sunshine:
The damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin is irreversible. After a long period of forced confessions and sun exposure, the skin's ability to resist free radicals becomes weak, and its metabolism will naturally slow down. Melanin will stay in the deep skin, and the formation of toxins cannot be ruled out.
Lack of exercise:
Exercise is the best way to promote human metabolism and eliminate waste, and for women who have been sitting in the office for a long time and lack exercise, less exercise every day just contributes to the accumulation of toxins.
Part III: When detoxification is in progress
Not just moisturizing:
The most obvious symptom of skin poisoning is often rough and dry skin. This will make many people mistakenly think that as long as we strengthen moisturizing, we can alleviate the "poisoning" of the skin. That's not true. For example, toxic skin is like a dirty pool. If water is injected repeatedly without the first filtration, it will still show dull and opaque skin. Therefore, how to detoxify should be the primary task of skin care, not just moisturizing.
Help pores detoxify:
Naturally, the pores blocked by oil can't eliminate toxins freely. In addition to thorough cleaning every day, the weekly steam bath or sauna is also helpful to speed up metabolism, detoxify and beautify. Drink a glass of water before the sauna to help accelerate detoxification, and drink a glass of water after the bath to replenish water and eliminate residual toxins. In addition, doing some simple aerobic exercise before and after the sauna can also accelerate blood circulation and body metabolism, and the detoxification effect is doubled.
Multi-level intake of vitamins:
Vitamin c can inhibit the activity of pigment melanocytes, promote vascular microcirculation and eliminate toxins in skin tissue; Vitamin e is a powerful antioxidant, which can resist the invasion of free radicals into the skin and make the blood in the skin bright and clean; Vitamin A can protect the epithelial tissue of the skin and change the skin aging and dull complexion-therefore, it is suggested to take vitamins from diet, skin care products and other aspects at the same time, giving consideration to both internal and external factors, effectively alleviating and preventing skin poisoning.
Green tea detoxification beauty:
Green tea contains vitamins E and C, which can significantly reduce the production of reactive oxygen species, accelerate cell metabolism, reduce free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays and pollution, prevent toxins from invading skin cells, effectively sterilize and detoxify, and make skin white and tender. You can use skin care products containing green tea ingredients, or you can insist on drinking two cups of green tea drinks every day, or simply chew green tea directly, which can achieve the effect of detoxification, beauty and even slimming.
Detoxification with salt and honey:
The anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects of salt are well known, in fact, its detoxification effect is also very unique. If you have oily skin poisoning, try to mix a spoonful of salt and honey, apply it to your face, gently massage for five minutes, and then wash it off with water. Salt can deeply clean skin pores, while honey water can replenish skin nutrition in time, once every morning and evening, which helps to remove skin toxins.
Japanese popular brown sugar detoxification;
This method of detoxification, which is popular all over Japan, is reasonable. According to the analysis, the special ingredient "molasses" contained in brown sugar has a strong "detoxification" effect, while carotene, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, amino acids, glucose and other ingredients have strong antioxidant and repair effects on cells, which can make the detoxified subcutaneous cells grow rapidly and avoid pigment rebound. Therefore, try to detoxify with brown sugar. Eating directly is a method, or using brown sugar, papaya puree and olive oil as a mask to apply face and massage skin, which also has a good effect.
Part IV: Effective massage detoxification skills.
Eye detoxification massage:
STEP 1: Starting from the brow bone, play the piano around the eyes from the inside out with your fingertips, and finally gently press the temple.
STEP2: Gently slide the belly of the middle finger from inside to outside along the eye socket to the lower eye head, repeat the action for 3 times, and then slide to the temple in the third circle. After pressing 15 seconds, move below the brow to complete the action, which can promote blood circulation around the eyes and accelerate eye detoxification.
Facial lymph detoxification massage:
STEP 1: Focus on the junction of clavicle, face and ears, massage slowly and deeply from both sides of the nose to the ear, and then massage slowly from the forehead to the clavicle along the face.
STEP2: Draw a circle from nose to temple, then from chin to cheek with the same gesture, and finally cover the whole chin with the palm of your hand, slide back and forth to the root of your ear, and end with light pressure.
Can the skin detoxify? Everyone must have heard of this statement. Many people also believe that because the surface area of skin is very large, once the body is "poisoned", covered with acne, or the body has "accumulated toxins", the body can alleviate the poisoning phenomenon through the mechanism of skin detoxification. However, how does the skin detoxify? Is it the sweat glands? Or by pores? Or is it a "skin hole" claimed by some operators? The person that grows whelk, is the body necessarily more poisonous?
In fact, sweat secreted by skin sweat glands is mainly composed of some electrolytes (such as sodium chloride), lactic acid, urea, ammonia, amino acids and some small molecular weight protein. The components secreted by pores are mainly composed of squalene, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, wax esters, triglycerides and other oily components secreted by sebaceous glands.
As for "lenticels", strictly speaking, according to the current concept of dermatology, there is no such structure in the skin. Therefore, on the whole, the skin does not have the function of detoxification. If you really want to point out the toxins that the skin can eliminate, only lactic acid and urea in sweat are probably toxins. Generally speaking, the body has two main organs to eliminate toxins, the liver and the kidney. The vast majority of drug allergies, food poisoning or poor metabolic circulation in the body are metabolized by the liver and excreted through feces in the gastrointestinal tract or urine in the kidney. Therefore, "the liver is not good, life is black and white" is the truth.
However, if the skin can't detoxify, why do many people get rashes when they are allergic, take medicine or catch a cold? There is also a rash that grows out. Why are there various changes? In fact, there are many lymphocytes in the epidermis and dermis to protect us, because the skin can prevent foreign toxins or infectious substances from invading the human body.
Once the body is allergic, infected by virus, or poisoned, these toxins may run from the body to the skin through blood, or cause lymphocytes in the skin to react, leading to various rashes on the skin. Accurately speaking, the cause of skin rash is not detoxification, but the phenomenon and reaction caused by toxins. Therefore, different people may have different types of rashes when facing the same toxin or virus infection due to different innate genes and constitutions. At this time, the clinical experience judgment of dermatologists is very important. Different types of rashes can be urticaria, rubella, measles, rubella, drug eruption, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, pityriasis rosea or lichenoid rash.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, skin is a "barometer" of human health, and the foundation of healthy and shiny skin is that the whole body should be in a stable metabolic balance. The detoxification pipeline of human body is not smooth, which is manifested as acne caused by imbalance of oil secretion, or pigmentation caused by insufficient qi and blood and congestion in the body. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt Not only that, but also because the skin bears a large amount of waste excretion function, once the detoxification pipeline in the body is blocked, it will also cause various skin problems due to overwhelming. Therefore, the key to make the skin "clean" is to make the body "clean". This awareness of "environmental protection in the body" is widely circulated in the world. To this end, many people are willing to take risks to wash their intestines and blood. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with 5,000 years of cultural heritage has long had its own way of "environmental protection", and one of the shortcuts is detoxification health care products.
