A person's face is closely related to physical health, and doctors often use the patient's face as a reference for judging diseases, which is due to the rise and fall of people's whole body qi and blood, which is often shown from the face.

A person who is in good health, with a ruddy face, indicates that the blood is abundant; And the paleness of a person who is unwell indicates a deficiency of blood and qi.

Generally speaking, the face of a healthy person is usually yellowish, ruddy and shiny; Unhealthy people often show a variety of abnormal complexions, such as pale, flushed, bruised, yellow, black, etc.

Pale face. It is generally caused by insufficient capillary filling in the face, which is considered by Chinese medicine to be mostly a deficiency disease or cold disease, which is a manifestation of poor physical fitness. In addition, such as hemorrhage, shock caused by strong capillary constriction, hypothyroidism, chronic nephritis, lead poisoning, etc., can also cause paleness.

Flushed face. There are two types: physiological and pathological. The former is associated with alcohol consumption, sun exposure, strenuous exercise, or emotional activities such as anger and shyness; The latter mainly occurs in febrile diseases caused by infection, such as typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc. For example, taking drugs to dilate blood vessels such as atropine, as well as taking a large amount of hormones, can also cause temporary flushing of the face.

Purple face. Most of them are caused by lack of oxygen, and severe pain often makes the face pale and bruised, and heart failure, congenital heart disease, etc., can also make the face turn blue.

Yellowish complexion. Most of them are caused by cell damage, or biliary obstruction, which makes the concentration of bilirubin in the blood exceed the normal range and penetrates into the tissues and mucous membranes, which is medically called "jaundice". It is mainly seen in patients with acute jaundice hepatitis, gallstones, acute cholecystitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, pancreatic head cancer, etc.

Black complexion. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the darkening of the face is a manifestation of kidney loss, so it is often used to give kidney tonic drugs. In addition, patients with cirrhosis, adrenaline insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, chronic cardiopulmonary insufficiency, liver cancer, etc., may also have dark faces.

I'm sure you didn't inherently be black when you asked. There are many reasons to go dark. Please refer to the following points for analysis.

1 Ultraviolet burns Melanin.

2. Wind and sun exposure (if you live near a lake or a river, it is easy to be blown black, because the skin is weaker in front of these two).

3. Health problems lead to symptoms such as dull skin, spots, yellowing (such as endocrine disorders, uneven life conditioning, anemia, etc.).

Sometimes when you look at **, it's not dark, but just dull and yellow, so try to remedy it. For example, conditioning physiology, adjusting diet, etc., can improve this symptom.

Too much pigment, natural, tanned.

Is it tanning or what?

1.Too much salt causes darkening of the face.

If you consume too much salt in your diet for a long time, it is easy to cause your face to darken. Too much salt is easy to cause roughness, dryness, and the face is dark and easy to get spots. In addition, excessive intake of animal oil or vegetable oil can also easily cause oily blackface.

2.Malnutrition causes darkening of the face.

Long-term malnutrition can easily lead to a dark face. Malnourished people** are prone to desiccation and atrophy to form a keratinized layer due to insufficient nutrient supply, and melanin is easy to be deposited, making the face dark.

3.Lack of sleep causes darkening of the face.

Long-term sleep deprivation can also easily lead to darkening of the face. People who lack sleep have their self-healing function hindered, their metabolism becomes slow, they are prone to problems such as dryness, roughness, and large pores, and their complexion is also prone to darkening.

4.Long-term sun exposure causes darkening of the face.

Long-term exposure to the sun can also cause darkening of the complexion. Exposure to ultraviolet rays in the sun will accelerate the production and deposition of melanin, making people darker. Especially people who are often in the sun and do not take sun protection in time are more likely to darken their faces.

5.Abnormal liver function causes darkening of the face.

If there is an abnormality in the liver function, it can also cause darkening of the face. When the liver function is abnormal, the body's detoxification function and hormone metabolism will be affected, and the increase in melanin in the body will make the face dark. Common liver dysfunction is chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, etc.

6.Abnormal kidney function causes darkening of the face.

If the kidney function is abnormal, it can also cause the face to darken. People with insufficient kidney qi have blocked the flow of qi and blood in the body, and the body toxins cannot be discharged in time, causing people to have problems such as dark complexion, dull complexion, and dizziness.

7.Other causes cause darkening of the face.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, if you are constipated for a long time or take certain medications, it is easy to affect the body's hormone levels, and pigmentation is easy to cause darkening.

When the patient's face is ruled out, it is considered that the dark face is closely related to the internal environment of the body. It can be judged whether the patient has been overtired, weakened immunity, qi and blood congestion, or liver and kidney insufficiency in the near future. If the patient's face is darkened due to pigmentation on the face, such as partial melasma on the normal**, etc., Chinese medicine can be taken for conditioning.

What causes the face to darken? People who drink alcohol have bad livers and generally have black and red faces. Otherwise, if you are exposed to the sun, your face will be dark after a long time.
