  • Detox Yoga: Detox Yoga
    Doing moderate exercise can help detoxification. This kind of yoga mainly involves stretching and turning the waist. It is more suitable for sis who have no exercise habits. Aerobic exercise can not only speed up metabolism, but also dilate pores and remove dirt and oil in the skin Let them out together.
  • Lymph Node Detox Massage
    Drinking raw and cold drinks in summer often causes edema all day long. Before training, massaging the following lymph nodes for 15 minutes can help to remove edema and detoxify!
Armpit:
Raise your left hand, first place your right thumb in the middle of your left armpit. Put the other four fingers behind the armpit, grasp the armpit and knead vigorously 10 times, and repeat the same action on the other side. This action can promote blood circulation in the shoulder and neck to remove toxins and reduce shoulder, neck and shoulder pain.

Large spleen:

The strength can be strengthened on the inner thigh, and the second knuckle is used to push and press from bottom to top. This action can help drain away the moisture accumulated in the feet.

Sis can also buy 1 liter water bottles or water glasses with straws to help themselves drink more water 㗎~

【External maintenance】

I believe that many people has a lot of skin troubles. Wearing a mask is hot and dry. You must also avoid acne and acne problems. If you want to take care of your skin, you can't be lazy. Starting from diet to maintain the body, the external skin needs to be strengthened with skin care products. Let’s take a look at some tips for summer skin care!



Tip #1 Choose the right skin care products
Sweating and oily in summer, during the epidemic period, you have to wear a mask all day long. There are so many bacteria in the street, you must pay more attention to cleaning! Especially in sis who often put on makeup on weekdays, the cosmetics will remain on the skin, accumulating on the skin for a long time will cause blackheads, acne and other pore-clogging problems, and will also hinder the skin from absorbing the nutrients of skin care products!

  • Frequency of exfoliation : recommended for oily skin: once a week; for dry/sensitive skin: once a week;
    Combination skin: 1 time in 2 weeks and focus on the parts with more oil. Avoiding damage to the skin's own skin barrier due to over-cleaning also depends on different products.

  • The best time for deep cleansing : When taking a shower, use steam to expand pores and apply a deep cleansing mask, which can help promote skin microcirculation and help pores remove toxins.


Tip #2 Summer Daily Moisturizing Checklist

After drinking enough water, the skin will look moist and clear, and get rid of dullness!
Correct daily moisturizing procedure : toner>essence>lotion/cream

  • Allow the skin to fully absorb : After applying the toner, wait until the skin is fully absorbed and apply the essence and lotion first. If not, the water and oil will be buried and the skin will be difficult to absorb!

  • Moisturize before oil control : some solutions sometimes even if you do enough oil control, the oil will continue to come out? The reason may lie in the imbalance of water and oil! After moisturizing, you must do a good job of locking water. Use a small amount of oil to lock the moisture in the cells. Moisturizing products with a gel-like or emulsion-like texture are the most suitable, and they will not dull the skin and increase the burden on the skin!
  • Wet compress to enhance bottom layer moisturizing : For dry skin, you can apply toner for about 5-15 minutes on certain areas that are prone to peeling and flakes, so as to relieve skin thirst and stabilize skin condition. Then apply lotion to strengthen the skin's water-locking power to prevent water from flowing away.
  • Reduce the burden on the skin : sweating in summer and wearing a mask, you should choose refreshing and thin moisturizing products. Common ingredients include: vitamin B3 and B5, hyaluronic acid, collagen and so on. Using too moisturizing products in summer will cause dark spots or oily spots, leading to acne breakouts.

Tip#3 If you want to whiten, you must first protect yourself from sunscreen!

For daily sun protection, only products below SPF50 and PA++ are sufficient. Sunscreen for outdoor activities SPF50 or above, PA+++ and waterproof sunscreen are suitable for outdoor or water activities. Note that the stronger the UV, the greater the burden on the skin.

Tips for maintenance after party stay up late

Tips for maintenance after party stay up late

I believe that many sisters are facing a problem. As you get older, work pressure is getting heavier. Even if you are still young, your deteriorating skin quality keeps saying NO to Party Say, reminding you to go to bed early and take care of your health. But knowing how to take good care of it can help you continue to be a Party Girl!

Tip 1: Start with diet to get rid of edema

Often staying up late and sleeping for less than 6 hours a day make the body does not have enough time to recover, secrete growth hormones, and excrete waste, so it is easy to have edema. Eat as little raw and cold food as possible. Drink red bean water. Have a cup of hot coffee in the morning. Avoid salty food before sleeping. All of the above can help to reduce edema.

Red bean water recipe:

  1. Prepare a cup of red beans and soak them in water for 30 minutes.
  2. Pour off the water in which the red beans were soaked and refill the water with ratio to the red beans of 5:1. Then heat them together until the water boils. Then turn off the heat and bake for 30 minutes. Remember not to overcook the red beans. Otherwise the starch from the red beans will have the opposite effect and may lead to obesity!
  3. When drinking, remember not to eat the red beans. Otherwise the effect of removing edema will not be so obvious! In addition, even if you drink it after refrigeration, remember to reheat it or keep it at room temperature, so that you can receive the best results!

Tip 2: Frequent exfoliation and improve dull skin tone

The stratum corneum is the place where the melanin of the skin gathers. Regular exfoliation can help improve dull and uneven skin tone and brighten the complexion. In addition, exfoliation can remove aging skin cells, unclog pores, and make subsequent skin care products more easily absorbed.

Tip 3: Supplement the skin with nutrients from the inside out

Staying up late and lack of sleep will slow down skin metabolism, cause lack of water, and prone to dry lines, so it is necessary to replenish nutrients for the skin. Skin care can start with diet. In addition to drinking 8 glasses of water a day, you can also take in different nutrients from food to improve the skin's own ability to lock in water and repair, and improve skin quality. At the same time, you can also choose skin care products containing relevant nutrients to replenish nutrients for the skin from the inside out.

Vitamin B5: effectively moisturizes and accelerates skin self-repair

Vitamin B5 is water-soluble and has the effects of moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, promoting skin cell repair and regeneration, and accelerating wound healing. In addition, vitamin B5 will not make the texture of skin care products sticky, so even sisters with oily skin is suitable for use.

Foods containing vitamin B5: broccoli, oat bran, eggs, skimmed milk, etc.

Vitamin C: Effectively locks in water and whitens the skin

Vitamin C effectively promotes collagen regeneration. Collagen can enhance the skin's own water-locking function, keep it moist and full of elasticity. In addition, vitamin C can also inhibit melanin, fight against the formation of spots, whiten the skin, and then make your color more even and translucent.

Foods containing vitamin C: bitter gourd, tomato, strawberry, orange, choy sum, etc.

Vitamin K: Effectively improves dark circles

Although it has no whitening effect, vitamin K can improve the moisture and blood circulation system of the eye fundus, shrink capillaries, and fundamentally improve the blue-colored dark circles caused by the expansion of blood vessels. In addition to taking it internally, when choosing an eye cream for sisters who are troubled by dark circles, you can also consider products containing vitamin K.



Foods containing vitamin K: kale, spinach, kiwi fruit, oatmeal, red dates, etc.

Tip 4: Grasp the golden sleep time

The detoxification time of the human body is about 11pm to 3 am every day. During this time, the skin cell circulation system is most active. Not only high-speed detoxification, but also effective absorption of nutrients. Therefore, in addition to trying to sleep at 11pm, you should also make good use of the golden time when the skin absorbs nutrients efficiently to take good care of the skin, and get a "beauty sleep".
