What should I do if I get acne when the weather is hot?
It is recommended to wash your face repeatedly under the premise that the hot water is not allowed to be overheated and can easily burn. Remember not to wash your face with cold water, and try not to wear makeup in the near future to promote healthy skin breathing.
When acne occurs on the face in summer, it is mainly due to the premise that the spleen is trapped by dampness, and dampness poison appears in the blood! It is recommended to adjust the spleen and stomach well and change some of the past dietary characteristics (at least temporarily for one to three months to observe the situation). In particular, do not eat or drink watermelons, tangerines (note that they are not oranges), which tend to be cold or severe in the near future. Bananas, cold vegetables, cold noodles or cold rice noodles and cold beer, cold drinks, especially ice cream!
Acne is caused by blood poison. In summer, it is caused by dampness and heat. In winter, it is caused by the accumulation of dry fire. In spring and autumn, it is caused by the lack of nourishment of body fluids, which causes blood heat to condense into sores and carbuncles. Long cheeks are generally a sign of kidney yin deficiency and excessive evil fire, and the cheeks correspond to the function of the kidneys; acne between the brows are generally a sign of evil fire (upper inflammation) in the lungs, and the cheeks correspond to the lung function.
It is recommended to nourish kidney yin and clear lung fire. You can hold the traditional Chinese medicine Zhibai Dihuang Pill (Dami Pill) in your mouth, and try to swallow only saliva and not the pill. Use an appropriate amount of spinach or black fungus with your daily diet to strengthen the lung-fire and eliminate heat and toxins in the blood. Try to eat them cooked and avoid eating them raw (which will damage the spleen and stomach). You can eat them stir-fried and add less fat to the pot, but it is best to boil or steam them. Cooked or blanched,
It is best to stick to rope skipping. Pay attention to various preparatory activities to warm up the joints before practicing, and strive to persist for more than half an hour each time. You can take a short break in the middle to adjust to fatigue. But strive to sweat every time, in order to promote detoxification, clear blood and heat, regulate the insufficient yin fluid in kidney yin and lung yin and other organs, and then breed yin fluid to reduce deficient fire (internal heat causes acne).
If your facial condition does not improve significantly after one or two months, it is recommended to go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine or Acupuncture and ask a professional doctor to use decoction or acupuncture to nourish kidney yin and clear away lung fire! Once the fire poison is gone, the acne will disappear.
In short, TCM is unique in treating acne!
