What is the reason for the yellowing of the T-shaped area

The yellowing of the T-shaped area may be caused by excessive oil secretion, accumulation of keratin, oxidative reactions, dietary factors, liver and gallbladder diseases, and other reasons. Yellowing of the skin is usually manifested as local dullness and uneven skin tone, and requires targeted improvement based on specific causes.

1. Excessive oil secretion

The sebaceous glands in the T area are densely distributed, and the excessively secreted oil oxidizes and turns yellow when exposed to air, forming oily dullness. It is recommended to use oil controlling cleansing products for cleaning, avoid using heavy skincare products to clog pores, and regularly use oil absorbing paper to gently press and treat.

2. Accumulation of dead skin cells

Failure to timely shed old dead skin cells can mix with sebum, leading to a decrease in skin translucency. Use mild exfoliating products containing lactic acid or salicylic acid 1-2 times a week, combined with massage to promote metabolism and avoid excessive friction damaging the barrier.

3. Oxidation Reaction

Ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollution can accelerate sebum oxidation and produce lipofuscin deposition. Sunscreen should be applied during the day, and skincare products containing antioxidants such as vitamin E and astaxanthin should be chosen to reduce the damage of free radicals to the skin.

4. Dietary factors

Long term intake of foods with high carotene content, such as citrus and pumpkin, or a high sugar and high-fat diet, may lead to carotenoids deficiency. Adjust dietary structure, increase intake of vitamin B and vitamin C, and drink more water to promote metabolism.

5. Hepatobiliary diseases

Abnormal bilirubin metabolism can lead to jaundice, commonly caused by impaired liver and gallbladder function. If accompanied by symptoms such as yellowing of white eyes and deep yellow urine, it is necessary to seek medical attention to check liver function and rule out possible diseases such as hepatitis and bile duct obstruction.

Daily attention should be paid to gently cleaning the T-zone and avoiding frequent touching of the face with hands. Reduce the intake of fried foods in diet and supplement antioxidant foods such as blueberries and green tea that are rich in polyphenols appropriately. Ensuring sufficient sleep helps with skin metabolism repair. If yellowing continues to worsen or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly at a dermatologist or gastroenterologist to investigate the cause.
