Spring skin care tips

Spring skin care tips 1. Change skin care products in time

The sebaceous glands secrete vigorously in spring. If your skin feels dry at this time, it is mainly caused by lack of water or imbalance of oil and water, not "lack of oil". When using skin care products, everyone should "go light" and gradually replace the oily creams commonly used in winter with neutral lotions that are less oily and more hydrating. Lotion-type skin care products have simple ingredients, good breathability, and are more comfortable and easy to use.

Spring skin care tips 2. Cleaning should be done well

As the temperature rises in spring, the metabolism of skin cells speeds up, and the sweat glands and sebaceous glands secrete more vigorously. In addition, there are more allergens in the air and bacteria are more active. In order to avoid pollution clogging the pores and causing frequent "acne", you should clean your skin carefully after going out every day. If necessary, you can do deep skin care once a month to gently remove the dead skin accumulated on the surface of the skin to promote epidermal metabolism and allow the skin to breathe freely.

Spring skin care tips 3. Do not wash your face with cold water

Many people believe that it is more comfortable to wash your face with cold water when the weather gets warmer. In fact, cold water will stimulate the contraction of skin pores, causing dirt on the face to be retained in the pores and difficult to remove. Over time, it can easily lead to skin allergies and acne. From a skin care perspective, you should wash your face with warm water all year round.

Spring skin care tips 4. Frequent exfoliation is unwise

Many people believe that after a winter of wind and sun, the skin becomes much rougher. In spring, you should exfoliate more often to make your skin soft and smooth again. In fact, the stratum corneum is damaged and prevents the invasion of microorganisms and bacteria. Frequent exfoliation will make the skin thinner, reduce the skin's resistance, and make it more susceptible to contact dermatitis and skin infections. It is worth mentioning that many people have heard that skin care products containing fruit acid have a "skin-rejuvenating" effect and are "very fond of" them. In fact, the "skin-rejuvenating" effect of fruit acid is achieved through "exfoliation". After use, skin flakes will fall off on the skin surface, revealing new skin. Although it does appear to have a "skin-rejuvenating" effect on the surface, the skin will become very sensitive.

Spring skin care tips 5. Don’t slack off on sun protection

Many people know that we must pay attention to sun protection in summer. But most people don’t know that tanning actually starts in the spring. Although spring does not have the scorching sun of summer, it is dry and windy with strong ultraviolet rays. The skin's metabolism cycle is 28 days. If you do not pay attention to sun protection in the spring and expose your skin too much to ultraviolet rays, sun spots will appear in the summer. If you want to remedy the situation by then, it will be too late. Many people believe that using whitening products can make the skin whiter. Little do people know that sun protection is the “source” of skin whitening. The main function of whitening products is to inhibit the production of melanin, and they cannot prevent or protect against ultraviolet damage to the skin. The effect is equivalent to "closing the fold after the horse has bolted." Only by doing a good job of sun protection can you prevent sunburn and tanning from the source and keep your skin fair all year round.

Spring skin care tips 6. Care methods vary from person to person

People with different skin types should adopt different care methods. People with dry skin should pay special attention to not cleansing the skin too often. It is best to use warm water for bathing, and the water temperature should not be too cold or too hot. Soap or shower gel with low alkalinity and good quality can be used, but it is not advisable to use them every day. Exfoliation should also not be done too often or excessively, because dry skin is thin and tender, and excessive cleansing will make the skin more sensitive. People with oily skin should strengthen skin cleansing and care in spring, and try to use mild cleansing products; lotions are preferred for skin care products, which are easier to absorb and less likely to clog pores; avoid using foundation, isolation cream and other cosmetics that may clog pores. If you must use them, you should do a good job of removing makeup and deep cleansing.

To relieve spring skin itching, you should first choose soft and loose cotton clothing to reduce skin irritation. Secondly, you should be careful not to bathe too frequently and avoid scrubbing hard with shower gel or soap to avoid aggravating the itching. Since the itch receptors of human skin will be inhibited above 40℃, people with itchy skin like to take a bath with hot water to relieve the itching. However, too high water temperature will cause the capillaries on the skin surface to dilate, which will aggravate skin damage and worsen symptoms of dryness and itching. Therefore, people with itchy skin should take a bath with warm water and apply moisturizing skin care products immediately after washing. If the itching is severe, you can apply a cool towel to relieve the symptoms.
