What to do about yellow skin

Doctor's answer (1)

Yellowish skin can be improved and managed from multiple aspects:

1. Ensure adequate sleep: Sufficient sleep supports the body's metabolism and skin repair, helping to improve skin tone.

2. Maintain a balanced diet: Consume foods rich in protein, iron, vitamins, and other essential nutrients—such as eggs, soy products, peanuts, pork liver, kiwi fruit, and lemons—to help enhance skin condition.

3. Exercise regularly: Physical activity promotes blood circulation and accelerates metabolism, aiding in the elimination of toxins and waste from the body and improving skin complexion.

4. Sun protection: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the major factors contributing to skin aging and pigmentation. Always use sunscreen or take other protective measures regardless of the season.

5. Skincare routine: Choose suitable skincare products according to your skin type. Dry skin requires hydration and moisturizing; oily skin needs thorough cleansing and oil control.

6. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water or fresh juice helps maintain skin moisture and elasticity. Also, avoid using excessively hot water and harsh soaps when bathing, as they may cause dryness and dehydration.

If yellowish skin is severe or persists for a prolonged period, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
