With the autumnal equinox, autumn has officially begun. The sky is blue and the breeze is pleasant, and autumn is the season to look forward to. However, it is said that the skin ages in autumn, and this is an important turning point for your skin. Therefore, what you want to pay particular attention to is the condition of the skin, which is also called “autumn dry skin”. If this skin condition is left as it is, the skin condition will be greatly tilted, and the risk of skin problems such as melanin deposition and dryness in winter will increase. This time, we will introduce two skin care points that will not make you say "autumn dry skin". In order to keep the original, moist and transparent skin, let's prepare it with early care.

Signs of "autumn dry skin"

The barrier function of the stratum corneum tends to weaken on skin that has been damaged in the summer by harsh UV rays and heat. Then, the air gradually begins to dry out, and symptoms such as dryness, stiffness, dullness, and fine wrinkles appear. Have you overlooked this sign in your prolonged mask life? As autumn deepens, the humidity drops, making it easier for the skin to dry out. As dryness progresses, the barrier function of the skin deteriorates, and skin troubles can create a vicious cycle. If you feel the signs of "autumn dry skin", take care not only of skin care from the outside but also from the inside of the body, and take early measures before the trouble becomes noticeable.

The point of care is "turnover"

In order to prepare for UV rays, which are still unavoidable, and to minimize the deposition of melanin pigment, it is important to promote the regeneration of the skin by regulating the reincarnation (turnover) of the skin. Cells are born, and the cycle until it turns into dirt and peels off is called turnover, and the ideal cycle is said to be 28 days. This turnover is greatly affected not only by aging but also by ultraviolet rays, disturbance of the autonomic nerves, and biased nutritional balance. If turnover is disturbed, ceramide, which affects the moisture of the skin, is reduced, causing "autumn dry skin". Before you feel dryness, itchiness, dullness, stiffness, and other skin turnover disturbances, take care of your skin from the outside and the inside.

Care from the outside is "moisturizing"

Point! Sufficient moisturizing care The same skin care as in summer may not be moisturizing enough, so it is important to change the amount used according to the daily skin condition. Also, be careful if you wash your face with hot water when it gets chilly. Washing your face at a high temperature will remove more sebum than necessary, so it is generally said that a temperature of 32°C (a temperature that feels a little cold) to 36°C (a temperature that feels a little warm to the touch) is suitable. increase.

Care from the inside is "food"

Point! nutritional balance in diet A lifestyle that is essential for regulating skin turnover. Don't forget the proteins that make up skin cells, as well as the vitamins that are the key to regulating turnover. As you know, vitamin C is also deeply involved in turnover, such as promoting the production of collagen. It is important to support the natural rhythm of the skin through care from the inside, such as paying attention to the balance of meals and supplementing nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are easily deficient with supplements.

summary

Thank you for reading this time. I would appreciate it if you could deliver a hint to enjoy autumn with a solid skin condition. What kind of autumn will you spend? Please look forward to the next topic, which will be about "skin ceramide", which affects the moisturizing power.
