What nutrients does sub-healthy skin need?

1. Increase the intake of various vitamins

Vitamins play an important role in preventing skin aging and protecting the skin from damage. If vitamin A is deficient, the skin may lose elasticity and become rough; if vitamin B2 is deficient, the skin of the lips may become dry and cracked. Foods rich in vitamin A include animal liver, cod liver oil, lean meat, eggs, and orange-red vegetables and fruits. Foods rich in vitamin B2 include yeast, fish, eggs, beans, eels, river crabs, etc.

In addition, vitamin E has the effect of resisting cell membrane oxidation, and thus has an anti-aging effect on the skin. Foods rich in vitamin E include: sesame oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, cabbage, etc.

2. Eat foods rich in collagen and elastin

Collagen can make cells plump, thereby making the skin plump and reducing wrinkles. Therefore, you can eat some tendons, pig skin, chicken skin and other foods on a daily basis.

3. Increase the intake of trace elements

To have delicate, fair and rosy skin, you need to supply sufficient blood. Iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin in the blood, so you should eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal blood, egg yolks, meat, etc. However, the natural iron in food is a high-valent iron with very low solubility and cannot be directly absorbed. It can only be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract in an acidic environment.

Therefore, while supplementing iron, you should also increase the intake of foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, green peppers, and hawthorn. When zinc is deficient, the skin will become dry and rough, and prone to acne. Foods rich in zinc include oysters, malt, walnuts, melon seeds, etc. In addition, pearls contain a variety of trace elements, amino acids and proteins, which can improve the nutritional status of the skin, increase the vitality of epidermal cells, thereby making the skin soft and white, and slowing down skin aging and wrinkles.

4. Pay attention to the intake of alkaline foods

In terms of diet, you should reduce the intake of animal fat, meat and sweets. After these physiologically acidic foods are oxidized and decomposed in the body, the lactic acid and uric acid levels in the body fluids and blood will increase, making the skin rough and oily. In order to neutralize excess acidic substances in the body, you should eat more physiological alkaline foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, to improve skin supply and make the skin smooth and moisturized.

5. Always drink water

The tenderness and moisture level of the skin is closely related to its water content. When the body's water content decreases, the skin will become dry and the secretion of sebaceous glands will decrease, causing the skin to lose elasticity and even develop wrinkles. Therefore, in order to keep your skin healthy, you should drink an appropriate amount of water every day.

Also, pay attention to skin care:

1. Choose the right skin care products

The principle of choosing skin care products is based on skin properties, time and climate. For example, people with dry skin should choose skin care products suitable for dry skin, and not skin care products suitable for oily skin. In autumn, don't use summer skin care products.

2. Daily skin care

Use appropriate skin care products, insist on cleansing your face twice a day, and use skin care cream to replenish appropriate oil and moisture to keep your skin clean and moisturized.

Skin cleansing must be thorough at night. First, cleanse the facial skin thoroughly with warm water and facial cleanser, then use non-alcoholic toner to further cleanse and replenish moisture. Then, apply a thin and even layer of highly penetrating moisturizing night cream on the face, and apply appropriate hot compresses to allow its nutrients to penetrate deep into the skin.

3. Remove dead skin regularly

In addition to daily skin care, use an exfoliating cream every 1-2 weeks to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft, clean and comfortable. Sub-health directly leads to skin problems. Only by making timely adjustments and strictly demanding yourself can the sub-health symptoms of the skin be reversed to a healthy state.
