Characteristics of skin during physiological period
During this period, the secretion of hormones in the body decreased rapidly, and menstrual pain also lowered the body temperature. Coupled with physiological bleeding, resulting in physical consumption and nutrient loss, estrogen and progesterone in the blood gradually decreased to the lowest level.
timetable
It takes about a week from the first day of menstruation to the last day of menstruation.
Skin condition
The biggest feature of skin during physiological period is due to insufficient secretion of estrogen and pregnancy hormone in the body. At this time, the skin has basically lost its natural barrier and its ability to protect the outside world is very poor.
During the physiological period, the body temperature is lowered, the metabolic capacity is weakened, and many wastes in the body cannot be discharged in time, which not only makes the skin dull, dull and dull, but also makes the skin on both sides of the cheeks dry easily, and the T-shaped part is prone to acne.
A lot of blood loss, easy to cause physical fatigue, dark circles are often very obvious, if it is dry skin, there will be fine lines in the corner of the eye.
Physiological skin care classics
Skin care in physiological period should start from two aspects: reducing irritation and nutrition. In order to better protect the skin from harm, try to go to places with serious dust pollution as little as possible.
Wash the oil with oil
In order to prevent dryness and reduce the irritation of alkaline emulsion to the skin, it is best to choose oily facial cleanser. When washing your face, don't rub the dry cheeks hard, focus on the T-shaped part with more oil, wash the oil with oil, and then rinse with water to thoroughly remove the dirt on the skin surface and deep hair follicles.
Eye anti-wrinkle
For the black halo around the eye socket, after applying eye cream, gently massage the eye skin in circles, then buckle the eye socket with your fingertips and press it around the eye socket, especially in the parts with serious black halo. Apply anti-wrinkle essence to the fine lines in the corner of the eye and massage repeatedly to promote absorption.
Hydrating and moisturizing
Replace the daily ordinary day cream with a day cream with moisturizing effect. Spray moisturizing water on the skin after cleansing in the morning and evening. During the physiological period, you can apply a moisturizing mask one hour before going to bed every night for two consecutive days to keep your skin moist and prevent dryness.
Warm sleep for 8 hours
During the physiological period, the body is easy to get tired. Due to physiological blood loss, the body temperature is relatively low and it is easy to feel cold. It is enough to sleep for 6-7 hours at ordinary times, but it is best to sleep for 8 hours every day during this time, pay attention to cold and warmth, and keep your body in a warm and comfortable state, which is conducive to normal blood circulation in the body and is very useful for completely eliminating skin fatigue.
Xiangfenye skin care
Body odor and discomfort in the lower body during physiological period will directly affect emotions, and emotional fluctuations will bring about changes in hormones in the body, which in turn will affect the skin state. Properly used, the fragrance can not only cover up the body odor, but also keep the skin fresh and radiant.
Physiological makeup sutra
The focus of physiological makeup is to cover up the pale sallow face and make the skin look ruddy and energetic. A foundation with good phototaxis can make the skin look bright and shiny, which is very suitable for physiological use. It is worth noting that in order to prevent allergies, it is best to apply a mild emulsion or cream first, and then apply foundation.
Warm blush is an essential weapon for rosy skin and good complexion. Choose bright and bright colors such as pink, pink orange, rose red, apricot red and peach red, and skillfully hit the cheeks, and slightly hit the forehead, neck and other parts to make the skin look pink and moist as a whole.
Dietary menstruation in physiological period
Avoid eating raw, cold and salty foods during physiological period, such as ice cream, pears, peppers and cinnamon. Drink more warm drinks to promote blood circulation, such as brown sugar water and ginger tea. Eat foods with blood-enriching function, such as red dates, lotus seeds and Fritillaria. Can be cooked into nourishing porridge, which can not only promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve menstrual discomfort, but also enrich blood and qi, making the skin rosy. In addition, the lack of trace elements such as iron, calcium and zinc in the body is also the reason for dull skin color during physiological period. Appropriate trace elements can be supplemented to the body by oral administration or injection.
Six tricks to make you happy through your monthly physiological period.
Are you also suffering from weight gain, abdominal cramps and bad temper in those days of each month? Many girls have to endure all kinds of discomfort caused by menstruation every month. For physiological syndrome, we are not powerless. Let's take a look at the tips COSMO taught you, which may help you say goodbye to the hellish feeling of those days.
Physiological syndrome
Women's endocrine is controlled by two hormones: hormone and lutein. Hormone stands for estrogen and lutein stands for androgen. Female hormones help women develop, stimulate cell metabolism, and show various physiological characteristics of women. Lutein helps to stabilize the uterus and conceive, and the endometrium contains a lot of lutein. One week before the physiological period, the contents of two hormones in the body began to decline, and a series of corresponding characteristics appeared in the body. You start to get into a grumpy period, and your temper becomes bad, impatient and irritable. Just like a balloon about to explode, it can explode immediately with the tip of a needle.
With the arrival of physiological period, lutein is rapidly lost with the excretion of endometrium, and both hormones reach the lowest value in the body. You will feel the pressure on your body gradually decrease. In the next 4-5 days, menstrual blood is gradually discharged, and the rapid increase of female hormones dominates until ovulation reaches its peak. If you master the laws of women's body cycle, you can be smart, and you don't have to be a little slave in the physiological period, worrying about these days every month. Armed with the knowledge of physiology and health, plus a little foresight, we can easily reverse the pain of the physiological period, and we don't have to talk about the color change of our period! ^_^
1 Say goodbye to mood swings
One minute you're in a good mood, and suddenly it's "sunny to cloudy". You're grumpy with your colleagues and yelling at your boyfriend. This mood fluctuation is caused by the influence of estrogen and lutein falling from the body before the physiological period on the chemicals in the brain responsible for controlling emotions, such as serotonin.
If you want to control your emotions, you should eat more calcium-rich foods, such as cheese, yogurt, milk and some green vegetables. Studies have shown that if women maintain a daily calcium intake of 1200mg for a long time, they can ensure emotional stability for the whole month. Calcium deficiency will lead to the deterioration of hormone decline, and intake of enough minerals can ensure the stability of hormones and maintain the high level of amine in blood. You can also eat some calcium-containing multivitamin tablets to ensure a balanced nutrition.
In addition, drinking more soy milk and eating more soy products will also help to increase the hormone content in the body.
Secondly, we should pay attention to eating less and more meals. Refuse to overeat one week before menstruation. Stable food intake helps to keep blood sugar at a high level in the body, thus reducing the impact of hormone fluctuations. In fact, it is very simple to do, just make a few changes to the usual recipes. For example, don't eat too much at noon. Eating snacks at tea break around 4 pm will also help you reduce your energy intake at dinner.
2 Say goodbye to acne and acne
The acne that broke out before the physiological period is caused by the decrease of female hormones faster than lutein and the increase of male hormones. This will cause the skin to secrete more oil, which in turn will form pore blockage. Different from adolescent acne, because the female hormones of adult women decrease year by year after reaching the peak, the acne caused by this incentive will become more and more serious with age. According to the survey, most women over the age of 33 are more vulnerable to acne than before the age of 20.
In order to prevent the risk of acne caused by oil accumulation, you should strengthen the cleaning of the skin one week before the physiological period. Wash your face carefully twice a day with weak acid facial cleanser. Some girls take oral contraceptives for a long time, and the female hormones in the contraceptives will inhibit the male hormones in the body, so your skin looks less greasy.
If the acne is serious, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some antibiotics to inhibit the acne bacteria and take them one week before the physiological period.
3 Say goodbye to obesity
Many girls are also troubled by edema during the physiological period. During this period, your body will swell like a sponge soaked in water, so that you can't even put on jeans. Similarly, due to the low content of estrogen and lutein, your body will maintain a high water content until the end of the physiological period.
In order to reduce body swelling, we should pay attention to reducing salt intake one week before the physiological period. Not only the edible salt contained in your food, but also any food with salt added in the production process, such as soup, bacon, microwave food and so on. Pay attention to eat less fast food, such as hamburgers and French fries, drink less caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea, and abstain from spicy food and alcohol. These methods will make you look less swollen.
Besides, drinking as much water as possible may sound unreasonable, but in fact, the more water you drink, the more water your body excretes, and the lighter you look. Similarly, you need to strengthen your exercise. Persevere in sweating for half an hour every day, such as jogging or cycling, which will help keep your heart healthy and make you excrete some edema.
Similarly, if the edema reaches the point where you need to see a doctor, the doctor will instruct you to take some prescription drugs containing diuretics, which will help you excrete excess water. But remember, you must take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
4 Say goodbye to physical pain
For some girls, the pain during the physiological period is very unbearable, even to the point where they can't work and study normally. During this period, we must pay attention to rest, keep warm, and appropriately reduce excessive and strenuous activities. However, don't stay at home, proper work will also distract your attention and make you feel less painful!
The inducement of physiological pain is the secretion of prostaglandin in the body, which will accelerate uterine contraction and thus accelerate the shedding of endometrium. All girls can produce prostaglandin in their own bodies, but about 50% girls will secrete too much or be too sensitive to prostaglandin, which will lead to dysmenorrhea.
Pain can be relieved by taking some over-the-counter analgesics, such as ibuprofen or naproxen (Fenbid). ). Take one pill every 6 hours for menstrual cramps 12-24 hours. If the onset is unpredictable, you can take the first pill when you start to feel pain. It should be noted that painkillers should not be eaten more, and the symptoms should not be cured. Girls with dysmenorrhea all the year round need some conditioning prescriptions. Many women say goodbye to pain and spend their menstrual period easily after being conditioned by traditional Chinese medicine!
When you have a stomachache, keeping warm can also help relieve the pain. At present, pharmacies have some patches containing heating agents and conditioners attached to the navel, which will also have some effects.
If none of the above methods can help you relieve the pain, you need to see a doctor. Pain that can't be suppressed by over-the-counter drugs indicates that you may have endometriosis. Endometriosis refers to the wrong growth of endometrium in abdominal cavity, which is a very dangerous gynecological disease. If it is serious, it will cause great bleeding and other dangers.
5 bid farewell to digestive tract discomfort
The increase of prostaglandin can also lead to diarrhea at menarche. Adenosine can make the uterus contract, and it can also lead to abdominal spasm and contraction, leading to intestinal peristalsis. Under normal circumstances, diarrhea will be mild and will not cause much inconvenience. Even some girls will not have diarrhea, but will be constipated.
COSMO believes that diet therapy is more suitable for menstrual gastrointestinal discomfort. If you often have diarrhea during menstruation, you should try to eat less foods that can cause diarrhea, such as foods containing cellulose and bananas. If you are constipated, eat more foods that promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
6 bid farewell to gynecological diseases in physiological period
During the physiological period, special attention should be paid to physical hygiene, avoiding sexual life and using clean sanitary napkins and tampons. At the same time, we should also pay attention to changing external hygiene products frequently, at least every 4 hours. Pay attention to cleaning the vulva every day, even the two days with the largest amount. In wet pudenda, bacteria multiply quickly, so don't stop personal hygiene for a few days because of menstrual cramps!
