4 ways to treat allergic skin that becomes a problem when the seasons change

Why does the skin always become sensitive and fragile when the seasons change? Why does delicate skin become enlarged pores? Why does the skin that was originally only dry in the T-zone become tight all over the face? It seems that all problems come with the change of seasons. In fact, as long as an effective prescription is prescribed, they can be solved one by one.

Prescription: Hydration

OUT: Powerful cleansers, refreshing lotions, oil-control products

IN: Moisturizing Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, Moisturizing Essence

Nursing focus:

1. The seasonal change principle for dry skin is to focus on hydration and moisturizing. A moisturizing facial cleanser can help prevent that tight feeling after washing your face. The light moisturizing lotion used in summer is no longer moisturizing enough. You can replace it with a moisturizing cream with more nourishing ingredients and a certain amount of oil, which can better lock in moisture in the skin. For dry skin that cannot be quenched no matter how much water is added, you can add a moisturizing essence in the fall to give the skin deeper nourishment.

2. In autumn, the skin's oil secretion decreases. People with combination skin types no longer need to "treat each area separately" in basic skin care. They can use the same moisturizing skin care products on the entire face. If the T-zone has oily and dry skin problems, you should pay attention to exfoliating the T-zone every week while moisturizing it.

3. People with combination skin types tend to pay more attention to oil control and cleansing in the summer. In the fall, they should stop using oil control products and reduce the frequency of using cleansing masks, and instead use mild cleansing products and alcohol-free lotions. Moisturizing is the most important task in autumn. For combination skin, you can use a relatively refreshing moisturizing lotion in the morning and a thick moisturizing cream at night to give the skin more nourishment.

4. In autumn, people of all skin types should use moisturizing masks, and people with mixed skin are no exception. If you are also using moisturizing masks in the summer, you can increase the number of times you use them.

Prescription: Moisturizing

OUT: Scrubs, products containing alcohol or fruit acid

IN: Mineral water spray, hypoallergenic moisturizing cream, anti-allergic soothing mask

Nursing focus:

1. Sensitive skin is easily affected by changes in the internal and external environment and becomes sensitive. In the dry autumn, the loss of water causes the skin's barrier function to decline. Sensitive skin will feel tight and itchy, and even experience a tingling sensation when using high-moisture products. Be careful to avoid products with strong fragrances. Products containing alcohol and fruit acid are very irritating to the skin and will undoubtedly make things worse for sensitive skin; never use deep cleansing scrubs and exfoliating creams, as they will make allergies worse.

2. Choose skin care products and cosmetics within the moisturizing and high moisture range. Dryness will aggravate sensitive conditions. Use a very gentle eye makeup remover, absorb with a cotton pad, wipe, and then use a cotton swab to remove fine residues.

3. General cleansing products easily take away moisture and oil. It is best to use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser to clean your face. Particularly sensitive skin may also react to hard water, so you may want to use a mineral water spray with soothing factors to cleanse your face.

4. After cleansing, immediately use a towel to dry the water on your face to prevent evaporation.

5. Choose a hypoallergenic moisturizer, which can not only replenish moisture but also block some external allergens. Choose anti-allergic moisturizing masks and serums designed for sensitive skin.

Prescription: Whitening, lightening

OUT: Everyday sunscreen, tanning products

IN: Anti-freckle cream, whitening essence, whitening mask

Nursing focus:

1. Sun spots are common after summer. It is recommended to use spot-lightening essence locally instead of applying it all over the face. Use your ring finger to pat onto spots until fully absorbed. You can also use a cotton swab to apply to the freckles, which is more precise than using your fingers. The main cosmetic principle of spot lightening is to disperse the melanin into several small melanins, making the melanin look less obvious. The small melanins will be "swallowed" by the main ingredient of the spot lightening, thus achieving the purpose of spot removal.

2. Whitening requires a certain amount of patience and process. Whitening ingredients need to block the formation of melanin and also lighten the melanin that has already formed, which usually takes two weeks or longer. During the day, you should use whitening cream for basic repair. It is more important to use a whitening mask at night, which can repair cells and enhance the whitening effect during the day. In autumn, facial masks and essences are good choices for whitening, as they can concentrate and effectively reduce melanin.

Prescription: Detoxification and skin rejuvenation

OUT: Skin rejuvenation products, refreshing gel

IN: Products with antioxidant effects and vitamin E ingredients

Nursing focus:

1. Use products with detoxifying effects. After entering autumn, the skin's metabolism begins to slow down, and toxins can cause dull skin tone and even acne on the face. The most proactive way to protect your skin from toxins is to find a suitable skin care product that can serve as a full-day scavenger, which is both safe and convenient.

2. Antioxidants are the most effective substances that can protect proteins and lipids in the skin from pollution. The pomegranate polyphenols, anthocyanins and ginkgo extract in pomegranates all have good antioxidant effects; in addition, extracts of a series of active plants such as green tea, grape seeds, vitamin E and B carotene are also good antioxidant ingredients, and these substances are added to many cosmetics.

3. Lymphatic drainage and detoxification. Lymphatic drainage and detoxification require manual massage. The key massage areas are the armpits, clavicle, face and the junction of the ears where there are more lymph nodes. Detoxification must be deep and slow. Start by massaging slowly and deeply from both sides of the nose to the ears, and finally from the forehead along the sides of the face to the collarbone to complete the detoxification of the face. After cleansing, press along the skin texture three times a week.
