The weather in Hong Kong is hot and humid, and you need to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays when you go out on the street. Sitting in the air-conditioning room for a long time after returning to work can easily dry out the moisture in your skin. The following will introduce the daily habits of summer and the points that need to be paid attention to in skin care which helps create transparent jelly skin from the outside to the outside!


【Inner health】

Tip #1 Muscle nourishing diet

Summer is the time to take care of the heart and blood circulation system, especially the eating habits of Hong Kong people who are used to eating out and drinking cold hand-cranked drinks. Starting with diet can make the effect of skin care products more obvious~

  • Avoid excessive consumption of raw and cold food
    "The lungs govern the skin and hair, and damage the exterior and interior": Cold drinking can damage the lungs, which can easily cause pore opening and closing disorders. Avoiding cold drinks can help shrink pores.
    "Stop dampness inside" : In addition, raw and cold food can easily cause stagnation of spleen and stomach circulation and edema.

  • Summer seasonal soup "lowering lipids, improving eyesight, clearing blood and poison": "Burdock root honeysuckle osmanthus tea"
    Reconciling yin and yang, regulating the inner body can achieve beauty and detoxification! Among them, burdock root, honeysuckle, and sweet-scented osmanthus all clear away heat and detoxification, especially sweet-scented osmanthus can whiten and detoxify, and the fragrance is refreshing!

Tip #2 Detoxify and reduce edema



  • 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:
First, apply massage oil on your hands, then make fists with both hands, and use the second knuckles to push upwards from the position above the knees, for at least ten times in a row. 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.

 

  • Drinking water detoxification method : remember to drink enough 2000mL of water every day, so that the body cells can metabolize normally, excrete waste in the body, and at the same time ensure that the skin is replenished with water at all times! 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.

Worry about hair loss? Teach you to regain confidence!

Worry about hair loss? Teach you to regain confidence!

I believe that every sis has tried washing, blowing, and combing hair for a while. It turns out that women lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day. These are the natural growth cycle of hair. New hair will cause old hair to fall out. But when the amount of hair loss suddenly increases significantly or falls out in bunches, you should face up to the problem of hair loss! Though you pay attention to dressing up, making up, and buying clothes all day, your hair will affect your image!

We need to start from all aspects, in case the hair becomes thin, or even bald, it is difficult to look beautiful! To prescribe the right medicine, we must first understand the causes of hair loss, and the causes of hair loss can be roughly divided into four categories:

The first category: Insufficient Qi and Blood, Malnutrition

Malnutrition is the reason for many women's hair loss. Due to malnutrition, it leads to insufficient energy and blood, endocrine disorders, etc., and the body will not supply enough nutrients to the hair, resulting in hair loss.
From the perspective of Western medicine, hair is made up of protein, so the body needs enough protein for the hair to grow fully. In addition, eat more and supplement iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and Biotin, which can help maintain thickness hair. These nutrients can be obtained by eating eggs, berries, spinach, fatty fish, sweet potatoes, nuts and other foods.
food for hair growth prevent hair loss
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is recommended to start from the aspects of "nourishing the liver and blood", "nourishing the kidney", and "replenishing qi and blood". The liver stores blood, so nourishing the liver can nourish qi and blood. As for nourishing the liver, one must seek help from a brother who "takes care of each other with sincerity". Go through the Gallbladder Meridian from 11 to 1 o'clock every night and through the Liver Meridian from 1 to 3 in the morning, so you have to rest before 11 o'clock. Regarding dietary advice, medicinal materials that nourish qi and blood can be used as the main ingredients to promote qi and blood circulation and promote hair blackening and growth. Qi and blood are activated and unobstructed, and the shrunken hair follicles will have a chance to regenerate!
You can usually make tea with angelica, astragalus, wolfberry, ginger, and red dates, which can not only promote blood circulation and nourish kidney Qi, but also make your complexion rosy and energetic if you persist for two weeks! Waiting for the editor to share a recipe for nourishing hair - mulberry fruit, mulberry fruit, wolfberry and black bean soup :
elegant beauty hair growth prevent hair loss
Ingredients: 1 tael of Sangjisheng, 3 qian each of mulberry and wolfberry, 6 pieces of red dates, 1 tael of green kernel and black beans
Method: Soak and wash all the ingredients, boil in 6 bowls of water for 1 hour and make about 3 bowls before serving

Category 2: Excessive perming or improper use of hair care products

Frequent hair dyeing and perming will actually cause hair damage. The chemical components in hair dyeing and perming products will damage the cuticles on the surface of the hair, causing a large loss of moisture and nutrients inside the hair, resulting in hair loss. Suspending hair dyeing is of course the best way, but if you want to continue dyeing hair, then you need to work harder on the shampoo and care after dyeing. The foaming agent in the shampoo used must be sure that it does not contain sulfate surfactants, because It is more irritating to the scalp, and it is recommended to use a hair mask to moisturize 1-2 times a week.
In fact, the face and the scalp are the same skin, the face needs to be cleaned and exfoliated, and the scalp is also needed! Because the scalp can be said to be the breeding ground for hair follicles and hair growth, only by regularly cleaning and exfoliating the scalp can we grow healthy hair. Take the hot and humid weather in Hong Kong as an example. Washing your hair every day or at most every other day will help keep your scalp clean and healthy. Otherwise, scalp problems may cause hair loss. When washing your hair, you should also gently wash it with your fingertips instead of scrubbing too vigorously .
Recommend an exfoliating shampoo Aveda Invati series. INVATI means "vitality" in Sanskrit and harnesses the power of Ayurveda - the ancient healing art of India - to rejuvenate the scalp during massage. Gently exfoliate with Wintergreen-derived Salicylic Acid to cleanse and renew the scalp, removing buildup that can clog pores. When used as part of the INVATI advanced™ 3-step system, experiments have demonstrated a significant reduction in hair loss.

Another Perfect Potion Rosemary Shampoo is my favorite. Rosemary essential oil is used to effectively strengthen the hair roots and relieve scalp sensitivity and itching. When using it, take a small amount of shampoo in the palm of your hand, and then gently massage the scalp. The first time you use sis, you will feel the feeling of "after washing your hair." Cool 㗎'feeling, natural ingredients will restore the natural luster of hair.

The third category: hereditary genes

According to the World Health Organization, most Asian hair loss is hereditary. Hereditary hair loss refers to the number of hair follicles. The number of hair follicles in Asians is about 100,000 to 120,000. This number is determined at the moment we are born. As we age, the difference in the number of hair follicles will become larger and larger for each person. . Due to the close relationship between hair and hormones, when the androgen Dihydrotestosterone (Dihydrotestosterone or DHT) enters the nucleus, the metabolic system will be blocked and the hair follicles will shrink, resulting in permanent shedding. DHT is a male hormone that is produced in both male and female bodies. Too much DHT can cause hair loss, affecting hair follicle differentiation and inhibiting hair growth.
In addition, to solve the hair loss problem caused by genes, you can use Active Bio Shampoo. The editor recommends this shampoo, which can help you reduce the DHT on the surface of the scalp, remove excess oil on the scalp and prevent hair loss, making your hair lustrous and dense!

Category 4: Stressful

However, people with hair loss hereditary genes may not all be bald, because in addition to genetic factors, there are also many factors that affect it, such as: hormone secretion, age, various mental stress and other living habits. When women reach the age of 30, it is the peak period of hair loss, and the increase of androgen secretion in the body will lead to hair loss symptoms. In addition, the pressure of life and work will lead to hormonal imbalance.
You can try to press the three acupoints Shaohai (inside of the elbow), Fengchi (the hairline position on the back of the neck), and Baihui (the center of the top of the head) to reduce pressure. In addition, doing exercise, meditation, listening to music, massage, and using fragrance products can help you relieve stress and relax tense nerves.
Many aromatherapy essential oils extracted from plants are also very helpful for relieving stress. When the pressure is high, just pour a few drops of essential oil into the aromatherapy nebulizer or the aromatherapy stove, the room can be filled with aroma so that you can relax your tense nerves. The aroma of this lavender aromatherapy oil can effectively calm the nerves and relieve insomnia and headache problems caused by mental stress. In addition, the aroma can also relieve your sis's menstrual pain and discomfort, and relieve pain.

 Three tips to Relax and Reduce Stress in Daily Life

Three tips to Relax and Reduce Stress in Daily Life

People in Hong Kong are busy with work. There are so many deadlines that they will never see an end. Long-term stress is commonplace. When the pressure continues to accumulate but is not dealt with, the psychology will gradually affect the physiology, making our skin worse. In order to take good care of our skin, we must learn to relieve stress!


Tip 1. Abdominal Breathing Regularly Removes Stress from the Body and Mind

When we are in a state of stress and nervousness, our breathing will become short and irregular. Depending on the time, you can take a deep breath slowly through abdominal breathing exercises to relax your mind. Daily practice can also improve your ability to resist stress so that you will be able to withstand huge pressure!


Step:

1) Find a comfortable place to sit down, relax your body as much as possible, and close your eyes.


2) Breathe slowly

Gently put your hands on the navel, and try to breathe slowly through your nose and mouth. When inhaling, count 1, 2, 3 in your heart, as if BB is inhaling and his belly slowly swells up; similarly, when exhaling, count 1, 2, 3 in your heart, and his belly slowly expands at the same time back to the original position.

Do remember that the key point of this process is not how much air you inhale, but how slow you are! The depth of each person's breathing and the required pause time will vary due to their own lung capacity, so we just need to slow down during the process and focus on the activities of our belly.


3) Let the memory fragments emerge

During the process of breathing exercises, various fragments of life may appear in your mind, and some of them may even annoy you. it is okay.


4) Persist in daily practice

Each group of breathing exercises lasts for 5-10 minutes, and doing 2-3 groups a day can improve your ability to resist stress. Even if you suddenly need to face huge pressure, you will be able to withstand it!

Tip 2. Dive into the Music World


Many sis have the habit of listening to songs when they go out on the street. When they feel more and more stressed, they may change the rhythm of the music that contains vocals, drums, fast-paced, sad, or passionate music on the phone. Slow, without vocals, mainly guitar and piano, and even pure music with the sound of running water. Through music, the heartbeat and breathing rate are slowed down, the stress level is lowered, and the nerves are relaxed.


Music Recommendation: "Weightless" by Marconi Union

According to the joint creation of the British orchestra Marconi Union and the audio therapist, it combines guitar, piano, and other electronic elements with the sound of the natural environment. The pure music of just 8 minutes is praised by the British Academy of Sound Therapy as the most effective and relaxing The music can effectively condense the feeling of being in a weightless state, and then calm the nerves, relieve the rapid heartbeat caused by stress, and remove the stress for everyone in a short time.

Tip 3 Say bye-bye to the pressure through aromatherapy

Many aromatherapy essential oils extracted from plants are also very helpful for relieving stress. When the pressure is high, just pour a few drops of essential oil into the aromatherapy nebulizer or aromatherapy stove. The room will be filled with aroma so that your tense nerves can be relaxed.

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".
