Pay attention to autumn skin care under climate change

Focus on autumn skin care under climatic conditions

First, the skin characteristics

Autumn is the harvest season of nature, and it is also the season with frequent skin diseases. After the hot summer, the skin elasticity decreases and the skin resistance reaches the weakest period. The hot summer climate often leaves traces of black spots and pigmentation on the face, and then the skin is more likely to turn black, rough and wrinkled after the autumn wind blows.

If the skin can be well maintained in autumn, it can repair the damage caused by heat and restore the normal physiological function and appearance of the skin. In autumn, because the climate is dry or it doesn't rain for a long time, most people feel this way: dry mouth and thirst, even chapped lips, unbearable pain, dry and rough skin, water loss, dry hair, dry nose, dry throat and less urine.

In autumn, the humidity in the air is greatly reduced, and the exposed skin has a tight and uncomfortable feeling. This is due to the accelerated evaporation of skin moisture and insufficient moisture in the stratum corneum. If the skin is seriously dehydrated, it will crack and peel.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the autumn climate is too dry, which is most likely to damage human body fluids. At this time, if you don't pay attention to maintenance, the stratum corneum will have symptoms of "water shortage", the skin will become dry and rough, and even wrinkles due to water shortage will appear. Therefore, water is especially needed to moisten in autumn.

In autumn, many people take oily skin care products for granted, but the result is that the skin becomes dull, wrinkled and hard. This is because in autumn, it is windy and dusty, and the air is dry, so it is easy to make the oily skin surface covered with dust, and the moisture in the skin can not be replenished, and the skin is more prone to tanning.

Second, the nursing focus

Autumn skin care and maintenance Autumn is here, and autumn fruits are ripe. At this time, the climate is dry, cool in the morning and evening, and hot at noon, so if you don't pay attention to diet conditioning, it is easy to cause metabolic disorders in the body, and then diseases, such as "autumn dryness".

It is characterized by dry skin, insufficient body fluid, dry mouth and nose, dry throat pain, secret stagnation in the ambassador, frequent dry cough with little phlegm, persistent cough and so on. So how to maintain the skin in autumn? The climate in autumn is relatively stable and the skin is easy to adapt. The most important thing is to restore the skin fatigue caused by summer. The focus of autumn skin care is moisturizing, whitening and anti-drying.

Third, skin care

1, Moisturizing: The air in autumn gradually becomes dry, and the functions of sweat glands and sebum of the skin are weaker than those in summer, so it is naturally easy to dry. Acidic skin care products are suitable for summer because a lot of sweating makes skin care tend to be alkaline.

But in autumn, you should use neutral skin care products with strong moisturizing effect and massage your skin frequently. Especially for dry skin, oil should be replenished before the arrival of severe winter, and autumn is the season when appetite begins to improve. Eat more vegetables, kelp, fruits and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals to keep your skin healthy.

2. Whitening: Autumn is a good season for whitening. Whitening products with anti-ultraviolet function are most suitable for whitening in autumn to repair the skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays in summer. In autumn, we can't ignore the prevention of excessive sunlight, because the ultraviolet rays in early autumn are extremely strong, and because the air is clear and the transmittance of ultraviolet rays is high, we can't take the autumn sun lightly.

3. Anti-drying: Anti-drying of skin in autumn can be carried out according to the following methods.

(1) Moisturize. Drinking more water is of course the most natural moisturizing method. Every time you wash your face, take the lotion every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. In order to instantly increase the amount of water released from the bud in the skin, you can choose some moisturizing emulsions or emulsions containing moisturizing formulas such as hyaluronic acid and plant essence. If you feel dry during the day, you can spray it with spray emulsion. Don't add tongue to dry lips. Apply lip balm to dry and cracked lips.

(2) Daily skin care: use appropriate skin care products, keep your face clean during the day, and use skin cream to supplement proper oil and moisture to make your skin clean and moist.

Cleansing at night must be thorough. Clean the facial skin thoroughly with warm water and facial cleanser, and then use alcohol-free lotion to further clean and replenish water. However, it is necessary to apply a layer of moisturizing night cream with strong permeability to the face thinly and evenly, and apply appropriate hot compress to let its nutrition penetrate deep into the skin.

(3) Choose suitable skin care products. The principle of choosing skin care products is based on skin properties, time and climate. For example, people with dry skin should choose skin care products suitable for dry skin, not oily skin care products, and do not choose skin care products used in summer in autumn.

(4) Do a full set of nursing once a week. Those who can afford it can spend a few hours a week doing a full facial treatment. Including cleansing, steam beauty, facial massage and soft mask. This can not only further remove the dirt and dead skin on the face, but also accelerate the blood circulation of the skin, so that the skin can get moisture and nutrition from the mask and skin cream. Make skin light and tender.

(5) Moisturize the skin through diet. Diet should be light, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry and lean meat, and try to abstain from alcohol, coffee, strong tea and fried food. Drink nourishing and light soup, such as white fungus stewed rock sugar, papaya honeymoon jujube pig bone pot and so on. These have the functions of preventing dryness of throat and tongue and moistening skin.
