After turning 35, we suddenly start to pay attention to ourselves in the mirror: pores, dullness, frown lines...
In fact, one's facial appearance is a comprehensive report card reflecting one's qi and blood, emotions, and sleep. Medical beauty treatments are expensive, and skincare takes a long time to show results.
The six daily habits that can truly make middle-aged women have radiant skin without spending money or undergoing surgery are as follows.
Clinical dermatology and psychology department double verification: After adhering to for 30 days, it can be seen with the naked eye that "sleeping well, eating well, and being optimistic" are reflected on the face.
1、 Go to bed early and wake up early: Set your bedroom to "cave mode"
Go to bed before 11 p.m. and wake up at 6:30 a.m. Give the liver and gallbladder a 7-hour recovery period.
Practical operation:
- Dark curtains + eye mask, it's pitch-dark and you can't even see your hand in front of you.
- White noise app or earplugs to block out your partner's snoring;
- The bedding is made of 60 strands of pure cotton, allowing the skin to breathe.
A week later, the dark circles have faded by one degree, and the apple-shaped cheekbones now have a natural glow.
2、 Eat like a "rainbow", not like "fast food ash"
Metabolism declines in middle age, so the nutritional density needs to be doubled.
Universal formula: 1 portion of high-quality protein (fish/eggs/beans) + 2 portions of colorful vegetables + 1 portion of whole grains.
For example:
- Breakfast - Salmon, avocado, whole wheat sandwich + blueberry yogurt;
- Dinner - Steamed sea bass + colorful pepper stir-fried with broccoli + quinoa rice.
14 days later, the chin line becomes more distinct and the yellowish complexion fades away.
3、 Warm water is the best "liquid facial mask"
1800 - 2000 ml per day, at a temperature of around 40℃, in small amounts multiple times.
Tips:
- Drink light green tea in the morning for antioxidant benefits;
- Switch to rose tea in the afternoon to soothe the liver;
- Only take two sips after 8 p.m. to avoid edema.
The skin's moisture content increases, and the dry lines disappear as if they were ironed out.
4、 30-minute "Happy Exercise" every day
There's no need to force yourself to lift weights. The key is to "keep sweating".
- Baduanjin: Smooth blood circulation, rosy complexion;
- Stretching yoga: Stretch the fascia, produce a thin layer of sweat;
- Fast walking: Swing your arms while listening to a podcast, your mood will brighten up first.
Persist for 3 weeks, and your pores will become finer, your shoulders and neck will appear slimmer, and your face will look smaller in photos.
5、 10-minute "calm and emptying of mind" during the lunch break
Find a corner, close your eyes, count your breaths, and scan your body.
- Inhale for 4 seconds - imagine the energy reaching the top of your head;
- Pause for 2 seconds - feel the tension in your forehead relax;
- Exhale for 6 seconds - let go of your anxiety.
The heart rate has decreased, the frown lines disappear, and the lines around the eyes have become slightly less pronounced.
6、 Read 20 pages, giving your brain a "photon skin treatment"
Read history, read psychology, read novels - any of these will do.
Key point: Let your mind go beyond the mundane matters of daily life and have a spark in your eyes.
Suggestions:
- Set your phone to turn off the screen at 22:30 and replace it with a physical book;
- Make 3 lines of notes and write down "The sentence that moved me the most today".
After 30 days, you will notice that your eyes no longer look tired but are instead steady and gentle. Your entire face will exude the message "I am worthy."
