Introduction
If the problem of complexion arises from insufficient intake of collagen and vitamins in the daily diet, manifesting as a lack of luster in facial appearance and slightly rough skin, moderate consumption of snow ear fungus (Tremella) may help supplement certain nutrients and, together with regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "rest and作息" or "rest and work patterns"), may gradually improve the complexion to become rosy and lustrous. However, if the poor complexion is caused by medical conditions such as anemia or endocrine disorders, manifesting as sallow or pale facial appearance, etc., medical treatment may be required.

Generally, snow ear fungus (Tremella) may help improve a dull complexion caused by mild nutritional imbalances, but it is unlikely to be effective against complexion issues resulting from underlying diseases. If concerns persist, it is recommended to seek medical advice in advance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If complexion problems stem from insufficient intake of collagen and vitamins in the daily diet, manifested as a lack of facial luster and slightly rough skin, moderate consumption of snow ear fungus may help supplement certain nutrients. When combined with regular rest, this approach may gradually improve the complexion, making it rosier and more radiant.

If poor complexion is caused by diseases such as anemia or endocrine disorders, characterized by a sallow or pale complexion accompanied by symptoms like fatigue and dizziness, snow ear fungus cannot address the underlying cause. Its nutritional components are also unlikely to compensate for the body's depletion. In such cases, it will not improve complexion and may even lead to worsening conditions if treatment is neglected.

Consumption of snow ear fungus should be moderated to avoid excessive digestive burden. If complexion issues persist for more than one month, timely medical examination is necessary to identify the cause and implement targeted interventions. Relying solely on snow ear fungus consumption for improvement is not advisable.
