3 summer skin care traps that are easily misunderstood😱

Skin care is not only about looking beautiful, but more importantly, maintaining skin health. If you use improper skin care methods, skin problems may worsen. The following are 3 common misconceptions about summer skin care. Don’t believe them again!

1️⃣Oil ≠Dry inside and oily outside/Insufficient moisture and water shortage🙅🏻‍♀️

The most common condition of skin care in summer is excessive oil production. You must have heard the saying that "oil is caused by lack of water", but in fact, there is no medical basis for dryness on the inside and oil on the outside ! The truth is that other factors cause skin to produce oil, including personal constitution and weather. For example, when the temperature rises by one degree, the amount of oil produced by the skin will increase by 10%🥵. Oily skin and combination skin are common in Hong Kong. Over-hydrating or using products that are too moisturizing may make oil production worse. If you want to improve the oiliness problem, you can use summer skin care products with moderate moisturizing and refreshing texture, while reducing unnecessary skin care steps.

2️⃣Acne ≠The stratum corneum is too thick🙅🏻‍♀️

Did anyone tell you that your cuticles are thick? Excessive oil accumulation will form aging cuticles and clog pores, causing acne. However, intensive exfoliation or deep cleansing can cause damage to the stratum corneum of the skin . In fact, the stratum corneum is only 0.02 mm, which is thinner than plastic wrap! If the stratum corneum is damaged, it will not be able to metabolize it normally and will be more prone to acne and other skin problems.

I am prone to acne. Should I exfoliate more during summer skin care?

Excessive cleansing may cause damage to the stratum corneum of the skin.

The causes of acne and acne are also related to oil secretion. Oil secretion is also affected by temperature, personal constitution, diet, stress and insufficient basic makeup removal. If you want to improve your acne problem, you must start by controlling oil and protecting your stratum corneum . It should be noted that what needs to be avoided is not "exfoliation" but "excessive exfoliation". Oil secretion will make it difficult for cuticles to fall off naturally, causing oil accumulation and sealing pores, causing bacteria to breed and eventually form acne. Therefore, in the summer skin care steps, acne-prone and oily skin require "proper exfoliation."

3️⃣Sunscreen≠Use only when the sun is strong🙅🏻‍♀️

Sunscreen is an essential magic weapon for summer skin care! However, many people only wear sunscreen in summer or on days when the sun is strong☀️, but even if the strong sunlight is not visible, ultraviolet rays still exist and will irradiate the skin. More than 95% of ultraviolet rays are UVA with strong penetrating power, which can penetrate deep into the dermal layer of the skin, destroy collagen and elastic fibers, and cause chronic and lasting damage to skin cells. Ultraviolet rays not only darken and redden the skin, but also produce free radicals, accelerate skin aging, increase the formation of melanin and spots, cause the skin to lose elasticity and cause wrinkles. Therefore, you need to wear sunscreen not only in summer, but all year round🌤️ . It is recommended to use a physical sunscreen with a light texture to protect the skin, and to remove makeup and cleanse in an appropriate and gentle way after returning home.

It’s not just summer skin care, but sunscreen is needed all year round.

In summer, it is recommended to use physical sunscreen with a refreshing texture to protect the skin .
