Reasons for dull skin There are many reasons for dull skin, the biggest "culprit" is lack of sleep, sleep at night when the skin cell renewal is the most active, new cells will grow, aging keratinocytes will fall off. Lack of sleep, the metabolism will slow down, resulting in the accumulation of aging stratum corneum, the skin will lose the sense of transparency, now gray dark color. In addition, excessive stress, smoking, incomplete cleansing and too much ultraviolet radiation, melanin accumulation, etc., can also make the skin lose clarity and become dull. Women often confuse the concept of dull skin with dark skin and blindly use whitening products, which of course do not work well. What is the secret to change dull skin? Promote the skin surface layer keratin metabolism, timely replenishment of moisture, so that the skin becomes white and red again. Good way to brighten skin: papaya + yogurt mask There are many ways to change and adjust the phenomenon of dull skin, you can do it yourself, try "papaya + yogurt mask".　　Reasons for choosing yogurt and papaya 1, lactic acid in yogurt, has a good moisturizing effect, but also exfoliation, can let the skin quickly restore the luster, tenderness.　　2, papaya is rich in sugar, organic acids, fat protein, vitamins B, C, G, etc., immature fruit of the emulsion contains two alkaloids, one for papain, one for lipase. Papain can break down protein into amino acids and lipase can break down fat.　　If taken internally, it has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, aiding digestion, and quenching summer thirst. When used externally, papain can selectively dissolve the aging cells on the surface of the skin, removing useless keratinized proteins without harming new living cells, reducing melanin intermediates, inhibiting melanocyte production and tyrosinase activation, replenishing the skin with a large amount of water and nutrients needed to make the skin look brighter and fresher. That's why many purifying cleansing gels contain papain as an ingredient. Usually, green papaya has about 2 times more papain than ripe papaya, so choose green papaya for the best results. Homemade Papaya + Yogurt Mask Ingredients: 1/4 papaya (about 60g), 5 teaspoons of yogurt (about 5g), juicer, teaspoon, mask paper, small bowl Steps: STEP 1: Buy papaya from the supermarket or the market, 250g or so will do. Note that it is best to choose green papaya, but if it is not convenient to buy locally, ripe papaya is fine, but it is best not to choose orange-colored ripe papaya. We can judge it according to the following method: green papaya has a greenish skin and creamy white flesh with a few pearly white seeds. Ripe papayas have a greenish-yellow or orange-colored skin, which changes to orange when left at room temperature and is accompanied by discoloration. The flesh is light to dark orange and the seeds are black. STEP 2: Cut the papaya in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. STEP 3: Peel the papaya and cut 1/4 of the papaya at a time into 2-cm cubes, then put the rest into a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. STEP 4: Put into a juicer to break up the papaya. Before operation, you can put in the right amount of water as needed STEP 5: Pour the pureed papaya into the mask bowl. STEP 6: Add 5 teaspoons of yogurt (preferably plain yogurt) and mix well together. STEP 7: After cleansing your face in the regular cleansing way, apply the mask on your face, making sure to avoid the lips, around the eyes, or you can also place a wet cotton pad on these areas first. Then use the mask paper to cover the top, gently press with your hand to make it fit. Just put on the face, there will be a slight tingling sensation, but generally after 1 minute will disappear, if the tingling is more obvious, you should immediately wash the mask with water. 10 minutes later, wash off with water. TIPS: After applying the mask, there is a slight astringent feeling, but the skin will feel very cool and firm, and the phenomenon of oily and dull skin tone will also be improved.　　This mask is more suitable for use in the morning, summer operation, you can also use plastic wrap to make a good mask sealed, placed in the refrigerator in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes, and then brought to the face, it will feel more refreshing, so that the skin is more firm.　　Warm tips When applying the mask, it is best to use a hair tie to tie your hair upwards, try to expose your entire face, but should wrap your ears in, put a towel around your neck, lean your body against the sofa and keep your face in an upward position. This way you won't get messed up by a runny mask. Frequency In theory, "papaya + yogurt" mask on the thicker layer of oily skin has a certain effect, but also has a certain degree of irritation, so sensitive skin or dry skin must be used with caution. Healthy skin once a week is enough.　　Concentration control We need to remind you that although the active ingredients in the natural homemade masks can improve the skin, but the concentration of these natural substances is difficult to control, overuse will also cause damage to the skin. Especially in the season, the skin's barrier function will be reduced, the resistance to the outside world decreased, usually less sensitive skin will become sensitive, then we should pay special attention to the face of the things to less irritating, homemade mask or less good. Trial first after the use of daily life, people are sometimes willing to try some new beauty methods, in order to get a good skin appearance, which is understandable. However, it should be reminded that some methods may be successful, some may be harmful to is skin, and there are others whose effects are difficult to assess scientifically.　　Analyzing the DIY mentioned above, some of the chemical ingredients used in the "masks" do have a whitening effect. As biological substances, there are many other ingredients, and their effects on the skin are sometimes difficult to assess.　　It is possible that some people have experienced tangible benefits from trying the above methods. It is worth noting that everyone's skin condition is different, such as dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, or even sensitive skin, and the choice of cosmetic products suitable for various different skin conditions is different. Therefore, remind the majority of consumers in trying a new method or product before, it is best to ask a professional to assess the basic situation of the skin; or their own in a small area of the skin (such as the skin behind the ear) on the initial try.
