Yellow discolouration of the skin

Do you know what causes yellow discolouration of the skin?

1. Grease, old keratin and dirt which accumulate on the skin surface for a prolonged period, if not eliminated promptly may diffuse into the inner layers of the skin, causing the skin to become coarse and dull yellow, in addition to loss of skin lustre and elasticity;

2. Air pollution in urban areas leads to skin oxidation, causing our skin's natural enzymes and detoxification system to work sluggishly. As a result, toxins accumulate on the surface of the skin and cannot be excreted normally, thus causing our skin to turn yellow;

3. Low-quality skin care products which contain harmful chemical substances such as lead, mercury, etc may cause the skin to turn dull and yellow;

4. Dietary negligence, excessing consumption of vegetables and fruits containing yellow, orange or black pigments for a prolonged period can lead to carotenemia, causing the skin to turn a pale yellow-red colour;

5. Impaired blood circulation also causes yellow skin discolouration. The condition of the liver directly affects the blood; whereby a 'heaty' liver or liver-'qi' stagnation will impair blood circulation and, the repair and rejuvenation of the skin. Thus, the skin appears dull and sallow;

6. The harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the skin are irreversible. Long-term exposure to sunlight weakens the skin's ability in protecting itself against free radicals, slow down metabolism and darkens the skin complexion by forming yellowish discolouration;

7. Prolonged lack of exercise and poor blood circulation lead to the accumulation of excessive waste goes and waste products within the body, causing the sun to become full, yellow and discoloured;

8. Congenital yellow skin discolouration is hereditary. It is determined by cytokines in the blood;

9. Prolonged late nights, unhealthy living habits and constant sleep deprivation will also cause skin discolouration. Late nights and inadequate rest will cause the liver and bile ducts to function sluggishly, resulting in coarse, yellowish skin with dark spots;

10. Besides that, chronic smokers or those who are on certain stimulant medications will suffer from dull, lock lustre and yellowish skin
