Will staying up late cause acne? This is how to solve it

Staying up late will not only make people feel tired and cause dark circles under the eyes, but also cause acne. According to experts, this condition is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the lungs and stomach, which in turn causes the inflammation of the lungs and stomach, followed by external toxins, which combine to accumulate in the facial skin.

1. Heat toxins cause acne on the head

Many of my friends get acne on their heads after staying up late. Experts say that this condition is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the lungs and stomach, which in turn causes the body to become toxic and accumulate in the facial skin. The symptoms are scattered papules on the face, mainly small pustules, often surrounded by redness and pain. In severe cases, the face may be red, swollen and painful, accompanied by fever, red tongue with dry coating, and a strong and rapid pulse.

Solution: It is advisable to use the method of clearing heat and detoxifying. That is, the Five Flavors Disinfection Drink (honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, viola yedoensis, and purple-backed amaranth) is used according to the symptoms and is very effective.

2. Dampness, toxins and blood stasis cause acne on the head

Acne in this case is mostly caused by dampness in the body, which is trapped in the skin and then attacked by external toxins, which cause the dampness and toxins to condense, block the meridians, and cause disharmony of Qi and blood. In addition to papules and pustules, the main symptoms are often nodules and cysts. The skin produces more oil and is most suitable for this method.

Solution: Use the Dehumidifying and Detoxifying Decoction (Smilax glabra, Coix seed, Radix Dipterocarpa, Plantago seed, Glycine max, Alisma orientalis, Radix Isatidis, Red Peony Root) to add or subtract ingredients to treat it, and it will be effective.

3. Acne on the head, face, and mouth

People who often go to bed late and face the computer for a long time can easily cause excessive oil secretion of the skin, which absorbs some dirt and causes bacterial growth without paying attention to cleaning, and also causes heat in the body. Therefore, it is easy to cause acne on the head, face, and around the mouth.

Solution:

1. Develop good living habits, don’t stay up late, wash your face with warm water and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, which can help you sleep.

2. Eat more foods or teas that clear away heat and detoxify. Such as: pears, watermelon, winter melon, loofah, mint, raw lotus root, bamboo shoots, tofu, etc.

3. Eat more vegetables, more fruits, and a light diet. Vitamin A or carotene can promote the smooth excretion of sebum, so you should eat more of them, such as carrots, leeks, shepherd's purse, spinach, etc. B vitamins have the function of regulating the secretion of sebaceous glands, so we need to eat more of them, such as beans, milk, eggs, and green leafy vegetables.

4. Wash your face with warm water and a small amount of sulfur soap or boric acid soap every night to remove facial oiliness and cleanse the skin.
