To address sallow skin and achieve skin rejuvenation, it is essential to focus on both internal regulation and external skincare. Sallow skin typically results from multiple contributing factors, including hormonal imbalances, poor liver function, impaired blood circulation, excessive ultraviolet exposure, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. To improve skin tone and achieve smoother, healthier skin, a comprehensive approach is needed, providing adequate nutrition and hydration while minimizing irritation and damage.
The following measures are recommended to improve sallow skin and promote skin rejuvenation. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure sufficient rest, avoiding late nights, as sleep deprivation places additional stress on the skin and leads to dullness. In terms of diet, consume foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which help combat oxidative stress and promote skin cell renewal. At the same time, reduce intake of oily, spicy, and high-sugar foods, which may exacerbate skin problems. Engage in regular physical activity to enhance blood circulation and improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Additionally, practice sun protection and avoid prolonged sun exposure, as ultraviolet radiation is a significant contributor to skin sallowness. Choose skincare products suitable for your skin type and avoid those containing irritating ingredients.
