Spring skin care key points Spring skin care these common sense to teach you to avoid minefields

In spring, the skin's metabolism becomes very active, and the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands increases day by day. At this time, pollen, dust and bacteria in the air are flying everywhere with the spring breeze. These will have adverse effects on the skin and easily cause allergic dermatitis and rashes. Especially for young men, the secretion of male hormones is vigorous, which is more likely to cause acne. Therefore, spring is one of the best seasons for skin care, don’t miss it!

Spring is coming, how should we use skin care products?

Spring is a season when the human body is active. The metabolism of skin cells accelerates, and the sweat glands and sebaceous glands secrete vigorously. The air humidity in the south is high in spring, which causes the blood vessels and pores of the skin to expand, increasing the oiliness of the skin.

It is windy in spring and everything comes back to life. The amount of floating dust and plant pollen in the air increases significantly, and the number of allergens increases, which can easily cause allergic symptoms such as small red rashes, peeling, and itching on the skin.

Although spring does not have the scorching sun of summer, it is dry and windy, and the ultraviolet rays are actually very strong. Tanning actually starts in the spring. The skin's metabolism cycle is 28 days. If it is exposed to excessive ultraviolet rays, dark spots will appear after 1-2 months.

Spring, the seasons change. If skin care is not done properly, all problems will be magnified. Severe water shortage will cause dry lines and wrinkles, reduce elasticity and increase sagging.

In spring, what should we pay attention to when taking care of our skin?

1. Similarly, the more concise the types of skin care products are, the better.

Spring is different from winter. When the temperature rises, the secretion of facial sebum and sweat will increase. Therefore, daily moisturizing does not require the use of many moisturizing skin care products at the same time. Just one is enough.

In order to avoid damage to the skin barrier caused by sunlight, allergens in the air, etc., you can use moisturizing skin care products that repair the skin barrier during the day, such as the Yuze Skin Barrier Repair Essence Lotion developed by the Dermatology Department of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, which is the most recommended by Brother Qiang, or the Yufu Skin Barrier Repair Cream developed by Dr. Wang Fangjing, a famous dermatologist in Singapore. They are easy to use but not expensive, and they are both medical skin care product grade.

Second, spring sun protection can be hard sun protection.

You can also use soft sunscreen such as sunscreen lotion, but I personally recommend using pure physical sunscreen lotion, which is safer but more expensive.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the face, neck and nostrils

When you come back indoors after going out, wash your face and also wash your nostrils with clean water. Common allergens that trigger allergic rhinitis and asthma include pollen. When cleaning your face, try to use neutral products.

The weather is getting warmer

But as the weather warms up, the skin seems to be drier than in winter.

You have mistakenly entered the spring skin care minefield!

Myth 1: Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizing

The temperature rises in spring and the skin secretes more oil than in winter, so many people feel that their skin is already oily and moisturizing will only make it more oily. In fact, there is no absolute relationship between the amount of oil produced by the skin and whether the water content of the stratum corneum is sufficient. Therefore, you should adjust the moisturizing products used in time according to your skin condition.

Misunderstanding 2: Blindly replenishing water

But for dry or extremely dry skin, the skin lacks not only water but also oil. That is to say, while replenishing water, you also need to replenish fat. Therefore, when choosing products, you should first choose those suitable for dry skin and with a slightly thicker texture. Of course, you cannot choose products that are too oily. Just choose those that feel oily and moisturized when applied on the face.

Myth 3: Ignoring sun protection

If you want to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays when you are outdoors, you need to do a good job of sun protection all year round, and sun protection is especially important in spring. As the weather gradually warms up in spring, the pores slowly open and ultraviolet rays will have a greater impact on the skin. Therefore, strict sun protection must be done in spring. The sunscreen index used in winter is not enough for spring, so you should use a primer or sunscreen with a higher sun protection index in spring.

Myth 4: Frequent use of spray

Spring is the peak season for skin allergies. Many people like to carry a bottle of moisturizing spray with them and spray it anytime their skin is dry to provide deep moisturizing to the skin and relieve discomfort. But doing it too often may dry out the skin's original moisture. So use the spray appropriately.

Myth 5: Applying facial mask every day

The skin is a little dry in spring. Many people think that as long as they apply a facial mask every day, the skin will no longer be dry. This idea is wrong. Some facial masks have clearly marked cycles, such as a 5-day course of treatment, or 3 masks in 10 days. If you want to achieve the best results, you should strictly follow it. If used continuously for a long time, 1 to 2 times a week is enough. Otherwise, no matter how delicious the food is, you will feel full if you eat too much! Of course, if it is an emergency under special circumstances, it can be used at any time. If it contains ingredients such as alcohol, fruit acid, etc., applying it too frequently will irritate the facial skin and make it fragile. It is best to use a moisturizing mask with simple ingredients in spring.
