How to overcome seasonal sensitivity in 14 days

Why do you feel sensitive when the seasons change?

Keywords: Inflammation

The body has a defense mechanism that can resist bacterial invasion and restore health. When the body is damaged, it will send out inflammatory warning signs, including redness, fever, pain, swelling and other symptoms. This is the body's natural response to protect, repair and heal itself. In the process of self-healing, various common skin problems will arise, such as the most common one we encounter - skin sensitivity.

Keywords: immunity

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring is the season of wind and dryness, and the skin is easily affected by wind and prone to dryness. Gua Sha is for detoxification, and moxibustion is for replenishing yang energy and enhancing immunity, which will reduce random allergies.

Keywords: Product replacement

If you have acne and oily skin, it may be related to this season, such as not adjusting your skin care products in time. Because for oily skin, as soon as the temperature rises, the oil production will increase. So, stop using facial cream in winter and switch to refreshing lotion. But remember, when changing skin care products during the season change, you should change them one by one. For example, change facial cream first, then water, then cleanser. Don't change the whole set at once.

Keywords: ceramide

Ceramide is an essential component for maintaining moisture between skin cells, accounting for about 50% of the intercellular lipids that connect cells. If the ceramide in the intercellular lipids is sufficient and arranged regularly and neatly, it can effectively lock in moisture inside the skin, give full play to its shielding function, keep the skin moisturized, and fundamentally improve the dryness symptoms during the change of seasons.

Keyword: pressure

Skin tends to be more fragile and sensitive under heavy pressure, and is more easily damaged by external stimuli. Free radicals, ultraviolet radiation, dry climate and environmental pollution are all the culprits that can easily lead to skin problems.

Keywords: unreliable

Why "Spring"? Spring has arrived recently, and we have "once again" seen skin care product manufacturers say, "After a bitterly cold winter, the chilly spring has finally arrived. People with sensitive skin may have begun to feel the troubles of dry, itchy and flaky skin." This statement seems reasonable, but it is not uncommon to change the spring in the sentence to winter or autumn, or even to change the sentence to "hot and humid summer." Since we are very concerned about the long-term safety of skin care products, the only way that conforms to medical ethics and logic is to "recommend discontinuation of use", that is, "not washing your face for fourteen days."

Keywords: interference

Compared with winter, the intensity of sunlight suddenly increases in spring, and people spend longer time outdoors than in winter. However, it is difficult for the skin to adapt to the increasing sunlight exposure all of a sudden. In addition, the climate changes and the temperature fluctuates, and spring is the season for growth of all things. The pollen, fluff, dust, etc. floating in the air are particularly likely to cause allergies. Some people have weak skin barrier function, which makes it difficult for them to resist the stimulation of the above factors, resulting in decreased immunity. Even if they have been using skin care products normally before, they may feel uncomfortable at this time.

A Odor-sensitive skin

Also called "congenital or hereditary sensitivity". The skin is inherently fragile and sensitive, and is easily susceptible to allergies caused by external stimuli.

Countermeasures - Safety first

Choose cosmetics that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, preservative-free, pigment-free, and drug-free. The simpler the ingredients, the better, and do not change them frequently. You may even want to reduce the frequency of washing your face; the less friction, the less irritation to the skin.

Before using new cosmetics on skin that is sensitive to odor, be sure to test apply a small amount on the inside of your forearm for 3 days. Only use it if there is no discomfort! The key is to choose products with 0 additives, insist on improving your own skin tolerance, and strengthen the skin barrier.

B Vascular neurosensitive skin

The blood vessel walls of vascular neurosensitive skin are relatively fragile, and redness will appear on the cheeks. When the external temperature changes suddenly, or after eating hot pot or drinking alcohol, the face will turn red immediately.

Countermeasures - Keep ventilation and avoid burden

For daily skin care of this type of skin, in addition to choosing alcohol-free cosmetics, you should also try to choose skin care products with simpler ingredients to put less burden on the skin. Also avoid sudden and drastic temperature changes, maintain a comfortable room temperature of 19°C, and keep the room ventilated.

CContact sensitive skin

Discomfort or allergic reaction occurs on the skin immediately after using cosmetics or after a period of latency.

Countermeasures - Immediate relief

Choose cosmetics containing very safe ingredients. It is best if they contain anti-free radical hot spring water, palmitic acid, glycerin and other substances that do not irritate the skin. After application, they can form an invisible, safe and comfortable transparent protective film on the skin to protect the skin from irritation and damage.

D Environmental irritation Sensitive skin

Irritation or sensitivity of the skin to extreme changes in heat or cold or temperature. This type of skin is easily affected by external environment or substances such as cold wind, food, water quality, ultraviolet rays, etc., and becomes very fragile and sensitive.

Countermeasure - drink water as much as possible

You should always pay attention to replenishing water, and effective hydration and locking in moisture is the key. You can choose essences containing high-quality moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to provide long-lasting hydration to the skin. These ingredients can also increase the skin's water holding capacity and enhance the skin's barrier function.

For friends whose skin is already sensitive, putting on makeup is harmful and has no benefits. In the non-sensitive period, you can use some foundation products appropriately. If you want to remove makeup, you can choose a gentler makeup remover milk, because foundation is not the kind of waterproof mascara that requires great effort to remove.
