面色解碼
時近年尾,聖誕派對、週年晚宴等重要約會陸續而來,要靚除了熟練的化妝技巧外,其實要化一個靚妝更重要的是膚質本身,如果本來就擁有紅潤好氣色,膚質水潤飽滿,簡單的淡妝已經足夠神采發揚。可是照一照鏡,卻發現自己面色偏白/黃/紅/青/黑,怎麼辦?從中醫五行學說來看,不同面色與臟腑相對應,反映著臟腑的健康狀況,可以進食相同顏色的食物調理。
白面書生 — 面色偏白,白色對應肺,雖說「一白遮三醜」,但面色發白多代表著肺氣弱,亦是氣血虛弱的表現。
調理方法:宜養肺,每天喝米水,適量進食淮山、雪耳、百合等。
黃面婆 — 面色偏黃,黃色對應脾,可以是脾氣虛弱的徵狀,所以「黃臉婆」不是女人的專利,男士脾胃虛弱也會有面色發黃的情況。
調理方法:宜養脾,每天喝米水,適量進食小米、薯仔、粟米、南瓜等。
關公面 — 面色偏紅,紅色對應心,虛火實火也有影響,如陰虛體質、肝火旺的症狀。
調理方法:陰虛宜滋陰,進食滋陰食材如花旗參、沙參、玉竹等。清肝火則可進食夏枯草、雞骨草等。
攝青鬼 — 面色偏青,青色對應肝,多因為寒凝氣滯、脈絡受阻以致氣血運行不暢的表現。
調理方法:宜疏肝,適量進食有行氣解鬱功效的食材如白蘿蔔、玫瑰花、佛手、蓮藕等,另外保持心境平和及避免熬夜也很重要。
黑面神 — 面色偏黑,黑色對應腎,腎陽不足的表現,亦可能因為經常熬夜所致。
調理方法:每天飲夕米水,適量進食黑豆、黑芝麻、黑棗、黑木耳等。
Complexion decoded
As the year comes to an end, there are lots of Christmas parties and annual dinners to attend. Aside from perfecting your make up skills, it is important to note your natural complexion. Those with healthy complexion and moist healthy skin can look great with simple make up. If you find that you are pale, yellowish, red, greenish or dark, what can you do? Chinese medicine says that different complexions can correspond to different organ issues and you can eat similar coloured food to condition your health.
Pale- white corresponds with lungs so pale complexion could mean weak lung qi. This means that you have asthenic qi and blood.
Solution: Nourish your lungs, have rice water daily. Appropriately consume Chinese yam, snow fungus, and lily bulbs.
Yellow- yellow corresponds with spleen, and it is a sign of asthenic spleen qi. This happens to male and female as asthenic spleen and stomach can lead to yellowish complexion.
Solution: Nourish the spleen, have rice water daily. Appropriately consume millet, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin.
Red- red corresponds with the heart. Asthenic fire or excess heat can affect this as well. This can happen to those with yin deficiency, and those with excessive liver heat.
Solution: Nourish yin with ingredients such as American ginseng, polygonatum odoratum, and radix adenophorae. To clear liver heat you can have prunella vulgaris and Canton Abrus.
Green- green corresponds with the liver. Usually related to cold stagnated qi, or obstructed meridians leading to poor blood and qi circulation.
Solution: Destress and have ingredients that can help with qi circulation and elevate your moods such as white radish, rose, fingered citron, lotus root. Keep a balanced mental state and avoid late nights.
Black- black relates to the kidneys and is a sign of insufficient kidney yang. This can also be caused by frequent late nights.
Solution: have dusk rice water daily, appropriately consume black soya beans, black sesame, black dates and black fungus.
