Say goodbye to dryness and sensitivity

Keep your skin in good condition

At the transition from summer to autumn, the air humidity drops sharply, and the skin is like undergoing an "environmental test". Dryness, tightness, redness and itching follow one after another, and many people's anxiety about skin care also rises accordingly.

In fact, skin problems during the change of seasons are not "unsolvable mysteries". The key lies in whether the skin care strategy is adjusted in time to meet the demands of the seasonal changes.

The root cause of dryness and sensitivity during seasonal changes

Dryness and sensitivity of the skin are not solely caused by "lack of water", but rather the result of the combined effect of the skin's barrier function and the external environment. In the hot and humid environment of summer, the skin's sebum secretion is vigorous, and the stratum corneum is in a relatively "loose" state. In autumn, the air humidity drops sharply and the evaporation rate of skin moisture accelerates. If the powerful cleansing or oil-control products used in summer are still applied at this time, it will further damage the integrity of the stratum corneum.

The stratum corneum is the first line of defense of the skin, composed of keratinocytes and intercellular lipids forming a "brick wall structure". When over-cleaning, frequent exfoliation or the use of irritating ingredients, this "brick wall" will crack, accelerating water loss and making it easier for external irritants (such as dust and pollen) to invade, triggering an inflammatory response.

In addition, although the intensity of ultraviolet rays weakens in autumn, long-wave UVA can still penetrate the clouds, intensify skin oxidative damage, weaken the barrier function, and form a vicious cycle of "dryness - sensitivity - even drier". Therefore, the core goal of seasonal skincare should focus on repairing the barrier, locking in moisture, and reducing irritation, rather than merely pursuing "hydration" or "whitening".

Avoid "excessive fat removal"

Cleansing is the first step in skin care, but it is also a part that is often overlooked during the change of seasons. Soap-based facial cleansers or powerful makeup removers commonly used in summer may become "barrier killers" in autumn. This type of product removes oil through high degreasing power, but at the same time, it takes away the natural moisturizing factors and intercellular lipids on the skin surface, causing a sudden drop in the water content of the stratum corneum and resulting in a dry feeling. Autumn cleaning should follow the principle of "gentle and moderate"!

01 Choose a low-irritation facial cleanser

Give priority to using amino acid surfactants or glucoside cleansers, with a pH value close to that of the skin (5.5-7.0), and avoid excessive fat removal. For dry or sensitive skin, you can try a combination of "cleansing with water in the morning and using facial cleanser in the evening" to reduce the frequency of cleansing.

02 Control water temperature and techniques

The water temperature is preferably between 32 and 35 degrees Celsius. Water that is too hot will accelerate sebum loss, while water that is too cold may stimulate the contraction of capillaries. When cleansing your face, gently make circular motions with your fingertips. Avoid rubbing hard or using a facial cleanser.

03 Simplify the makeup removal steps

If you mainly wear light makeup or apply sunscreen in your daily life, you can choose makeup remover oil or makeup remover cream to reduce friction through "oil dissolving oil". For heavy makeup, it is recommended to emulsify it with makeup remover oil first, and then pair it with a gentle cleanser to avoid damage caused by "secondary cleansing".

Key reminder: If the skin feels tight or red after cleansing, it indicates that the product is too irritating and needs to be adjusted immediately.

Build a closed loop of skin moisture

Many people frequently apply facial masks and spray sprays during the change of seasons, but still feel dry. The reason is that they neglect the "moisture retention" step. The moisture balance of the skin relies on the synergistic effect of "absorbing and locking in water". If only water is replenished without locking in moisture, the water will evaporate rapidly, which will instead aggravate dryness.

The correct way to apply a facial mask

Facial masks are powerful tools for quick hydration, but when using them during the changing seasons, one should pay attention to the method to avoid "excessive hydration" and damage to the barrier.

Frequency control: For healthy skin, 2-3 times a week is sufficient. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to reduce it to once a week or only use it during emergency treatment. Frequent application of facial masks can cause the stratum corneum to absorb excessive water and expand, weakening the barrier function and triggering "hydrative dermatitis".

The duration should be strictly adhered to: It is advisable to apply a single mask for 10 to 15 minutes. For spreadable masks, the duration can be adjusted according to the product instructions (usually 15 to 20 minutes). Excessive use will cause the skin to absorb moisture in the opposite direction, leading to a worsening of dryness.

The key after application is to "lock in moisture" : After removing the mask, immediately use a cotton pad to gently press and absorb the excess essence (avoid rubbing), and then apply lotion or cream to form a sealing film to prevent moisture loss. If no skin care is taken after application, the hydrating effect will be greatly reduced.

The quality is stable and reliable, the technology is advanced, and it is highly praised by customers. In autumn, moisturizing should be managed in layers. Basic moisturizing: Prioritize products containing ceramides, cholesterol, and squalane. These ingredients are similar in structure to human sebum and can quickly fill the cracks in the stratum corneum and enhance the water retention capacity. Oily skin can choose a light lotion, while dry skin needs a thick cream or skin care oil as a "sealing layer".

Superimpose moisturizing: After cleansing, first use toner to soften the stratum corneum, then apply essence to enhance repair, and finally use cream to lock in moisture. Sensitive skin can simplify the steps and directly use the "simplified mode" of "essence + cream".

Local strengthening: Focus on the care of dry areas: Areas with a thin stratum corneum such as the nostrils, corners of the mouth, and around the eyes are prone to dryness and peeling. Apply it locally to form a protective film and reduce friction and irritation. The dryness and sensitivity of the skin during the change of seasons are essentially the skin's "adaptive response" to environmental changes. By gently cleansing, enhancing moisture retention, and adhering to the principle of streamlined skincare, we can definitely help our skin smoothly get through the "troubled autumn".
