1, the understanding of Chinese medicine beauty

dry skin is more susceptible to aging

Shenzhen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, deputy director of the doctor Qian Fang introduction, the skin is mainly affected by the internal and external factors. Intrinsic genetic inheritance is mainly related to skin type, for example, oily skin is less prone to aging than dry skin. Dry skin, white and red, fine and tender, pores are not visible, not greasy, looks clean and beautiful, not easy to acne, but the wind and sun will cause redness, even burning pain or chaff-like dander, and easy to wrinkle. Oily skin is thicker, pores are visible, the appearance of small points like orange peel, and present a greasy light, this type of skin is prone to acne and pimples, but not easy to wrinkle. Neutral skin is a combination of oily and dry skin, which is neither prone to acne nor to aging.

The effects of the external environment include natural aging and photoaging. Natural aging refers to the physiological aging of the skin as we age. Generally speaking, 20-27 years old will maintain the best skin appearance, after 30 years old, the skin slowly appears to lack of elasticity, this is the hormone secretion decreases to make the skin look rough and lusterless, this phenomenon will be more obvious in menopause.

Photo aging refers to skin aging caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. High-energy ultraviolet radiation can penetrate deeper into the skin, destroying the antioxidant capacity of normal cells and causing lipid oxidation, generating excessive free radicals, which directly or indirectly affects the skin's normal function and makes the skin age prematurely. The specific manifestations of skin dryness and dehydration, pigmentation, wrinkles, individual will form skin disease.

Other factors include cold, heat and excessively dry air that affects the skin's ability to breathe normally, causing the skin to lose too much moisture and aging; air conditioning or centralized heating makes the skin dehydrated and produces peeling, flaky skin. Work and rest time and dietary irregularities will also affect the skin, such as sleep time, physical and mental overwork, stress, spicy food, smoking and alcohol, etc. will have a negative impact on the skin.

In addition, the use of cosmetics and improper maintenance also affect the skin. Many people in the use of cosmetics and maintenance products, ignoring the requirements of individual skin type, the use of unsuitable maintenance products, increasing the load on the skin, resulting in poor skin metabolism or cause skin diseases, long-term, will make the skin early aging. Failure to timely and appropriate cleaning of the skin, such as makeup removal is not thorough, cleaning is not complete, will cause the accumulation of skin dirt, hindering the skin's metabolism, resulting in premature aging of the skin.

Don't go wrong with sunscreen

Photo aging is the main external factor affecting the skin. Sunlight in the ultraviolet spectrum is in the 100-400nm wavelength range, can be divided into three bands, namely, wavelengths of 100-290nm short-wave ultraviolet (UVC), wavelengths of 290-320nm medium-wave ultraviolet (UVB) and wavelengths of 320-400nm long-wave ultraviolet (UVC), and wavelengths of 320-400nm long-wave ultraviolet (UVB) and wavelengths of 320-400nm long-wave UVC. -400nm long-wave ultraviolet (UVA).

Different wavelengths of ultraviolet light, the depth of penetration of the skin is different. UVC is reflected and absorbed by the stratum corneum, only a small portion of the penetration to the superficial layer of the epidermis. UVC through the atmosphere, most of which is absorbed by the ozone layer and can not reach the surface of the earth, basically does not constitute a hazard to the human skin. UVB most of the epidermis absorbed, and a small portion of the superficial dermis to reach the dermis is the main wavelengths of the skin damage, but can be used by the cloud. The UVB is the main wavelength of skin damage, and is carcinogenic, but can be blocked by thick clouds, clothes and glass. UVA is absorbed by the epidermis, and most of the UVA can penetrate into the dermis and reach the middle of the dermis. UVA reaches the surface of the Earth at noon in the summer and is 100 times more than the UVB, which can penetrate the epidermis and reach the dermis to the dermal damage, so UVA is the main ultraviolet radiation pathogen spectrum, and UVA should be prevented in the summer.

This is the best way to protect your skin from the sun's rays. Sun protection is the best way to take care of your skin on a daily basis. However, in daily life, women have many misconceptions about the use of sunscreen, that the higher the SPF, the better the protection.

The money side said, is not SPF value higher sunscreen effect is better, SPF value, that is, the sun protection factor. SPF value selection can be based on the different places to go out to choose. Daily care, shopping, shopping can choose SPF5-8 sunscreen products, go out to play can choose SPF10-15 sunscreen products. Swimming or sunbathing with SPF20-30, or even higher coefficient of waterproof sunscreen products.

Some people think that as long as they apply sunscreen before going out, their skin will be able to avoid the sun all day long, or they think that a high-magnification sunscreen will provide longer protection. In fact, most of the sunscreen products in the sun-exposed parts of the application of a few hours, especially to the chemical sunscreen agent-based sunscreen products, will be diluted because of the air and sweat, sunscreen effect gradually weakened. Therefore, in the safety and protection should not be taken lightly, sunscreen products are best washed every 2-3 hours and re-applied to ensure the continuation of the sunscreen effect. At the same time, when using sunscreen, it should be applied within 10-30 minutes before going out.

The function of internal organs affects the skin

The relationship between the meridians, internal organs, and the skin is interconnected and inseparable. For example, the heart is the main blood vessels, the spirit. Because of the head and face of the blood distribution is more rich, the heart of the blood function of the normal or not with the face of the great relationship. Heart qi is strong, full and smooth blood, the facial skin due to the nourishment of blood and red, glossy, the so-called "its Hua in the face". If the heart qi is insufficient, the heart blood deficit, then the color of the face is withered and dull. The lungs are responsible for the skin and hair. Because the lungs have the function of adjusting body fluids, can control, nutritional skin function, therefore, weak lung qi will cause dry skin.

The Chinese medicine has "the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry", if the spleen transport obstacles, insufficient qi and blood, can not be nutritious body, there will be mental depression, yellow face, hair thinning, dry skin, thin and other conditions. If the spleen's function of transporting water and liquids is impaired, it can cause acne, rosacea and other diseases. The main physiological functions of the liver are to be the main detoxifier and the main blood collector. If the liver loses detachment and excretion, the qi is stagnated, and the blood is stagnated on the face, chloasma, dullness, darkness, and premature aging will occur. Kidneys are the main reservoir of essence, which can not only hide the essence of the parents, but also "receive the essence of the five organs and hide it". Human growth and development and aging, the key lies in the kidney qi, the normal function of the five organs, qi and blood, and the kidney's hidden essence function is closely related to the normal function of the five organs, qi and blood. Insufficient kidney qi can lead to dark color, dark spots, freckles, chloasma, and aging before old age. The kidney has "its China in the hair", said the kidney qi deficiency, hair is dry, white, no light, easy to fall off.

Qian Fang said, the internal organs and skin for each other, cause and effect, the two rely on the meridians to contact. Meridians connected to the internal organs, connected to the limbs and skin. In the human body, access to the whole body of the meridians, veins are converging in the face, "Neijing" recorded "12 meridians, 365 Luo, their blood are on the face, and go out of the hole", visible head, face is "the meeting of the Yang", is the meridians gathered place.

Through facial acupuncture, massage, can be carried out skin beauty. Qian Fang said, facial massage can raise the skin temperature, promote blood circulation, so that oxygen and nutrients to the massage area, to ensure that the normal metabolism of skin tissue, is conducive to the excretion of waste and carbon dioxide, enhance cell regeneration capacity, to avoid the thickening of the skin stratum corneum and the accumulation of the surface of the skin. Can also regulate the excessive tension of the nerves, eliminate fatigue in the eyes and other places, so that they can rest, to achieve the purpose of tranquility. In addition, it can also promote skin absorption of various nutritional skin care products and medication skin care products to achieve the purpose of nutritional skin and treatment of minor skin diseases.

For example, chloasma, commonly known as pregnancy spots, is a skin disease that occurs in the face of irregular flaky yellow-brown or blackish plaques, which are spread out on top of the skin, and which does not get in the way. Modern medicine believes that this disease is endocrine-related pigment metabolism disorder caused by facial hyperpigmentation. According to Chinese medicine, chloasma occurs with the liver, spleen and kidney, especially with the liver, if the three organs are not functioning properly, it will lead to stagnation of qi and blood, and chloasma will occur due to the loss of nourishment of the face. Qian said that clinical observation has found that acupuncture has better efficacy in treating chloasma, which can achieve the effect of regulating the deficiency of liver and kidney and the dampness of spleen.
