Wearing masks in summer is not skin care, it will eventually become like this! Rescue "face mask" look here

After waiting for so long, I still haven't been able to wait for the notice to fully remove the mask, but the skin problems caused by the mask have troubled many sisters. So many people say: " Our lives are given by masks, but our faces are destroyed by masks."
So, under the double test of mask + season change, how can we win this skin defense battle? Today, let’s talk about the effects of wearing masks on the skin in summer and how to break them one by one!





Lazy skin care
Be wary of sensitive skin
Due to the sultry summer, many little cute skin care procedures can also be streamlined. Since the skin is in a closed environment such as a mask for a long time, the stratum corneum will also absorb more water, so that the originally strong and strong skin barrier is no longer strong and becomes loose and fragile.




And this structural change is also easy to accompany the release of inflammatory factors, causing a series of inflammatory responses. If you vigorously replenish water at this time, the skin will gradually appear peeling, red blood, even rash, itching and other problems.
It's as if many people think that applying a mask every day can hydrate the skin. In fact, it is easy to cause excessive skin hydration and threaten our skin health.


Solution
The daily skin care process is definitely not to be saved. You can use mild facial cleansing products once a day and wake up in the morning to wash your face with clean water.
Even for oily skin, don't use cleansing cleanser too often, as long as you feel refreshed and not tight after washing your face. If your face is sweaty with a mask, remember to wipe it clean in time.



The moisturizing process after cleaning can not be lazy!
Some people think that if you wear a mask, there is enough "humidity" on the surface of the skin, but in fact, moisturizing is not only to add water to the skin, but also to lock the water.
Only by replenishing sebum and forming an oil film layer on the skin surface can we prevent moisture loss. The way to add sebum can be chosen according to your skin type.
For dry skin, you can choose a suitable cream. For normal or oily skin, choose a moisturizing product such as lotion or gel. After the application is completed, absorb it and wear a mask to go out, so that we can make an effective "protective cover" for our skin . .


Negligent sun protection
Be careful to transform into a "yin and yang face"
As the weather gets hotter and ultraviolet rays become stronger, many netizens are joking about whether they will become "yin and yang faces" after this summer, so everyone must take the matter of wearing masks and sunscreen seriously!

Many people feel that "whenever you wear a mask, your makeup is too lazy", let alone sunscreen. But the blackening cost of this fluke psychology requires more time and effort to make up for it.
Because insisting on sun protection can not only help you prevent sunburn, but also prevent sunburn and sunburn, so that all kinds of age spots, sunburn, and chloasma come a little slower. Simply put, it delays skin aging.
In particular, it should be noted that in the spring and summer, ultraviolet rays are strong, and the skin is relatively sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen is the top priority!

Solution
Be sure to apply sunscreen when you go out, and apply enough! (Amount of one dollar coin size to be painted)
The second is "hard sun protection" , such as sunglasses, sun umbrellas, sun protection clothing, etc. can be prepared.
At the same time, many weather software in our mobile phones have a function to report the strength of the UV index , you can refer to choose the appropriate sun protection measures.
Here is also prepared a calculation method of ultraviolet intensity and the corresponding sun protection method [1].

Watch out for acne
As the temperature rises, the sebaceous glands and sweat glands of our skin also become more active. Coupled with long-term wearing of masks, especially N95 masks with poor ventilation, the skin's oil secretion will be more vigorous.
When the moisture exhaled from the nasal cavity, spoken droplets, secreted sweat and oil are mixed and stay on the skin surface, if they are not cleaned in time, it is easy to cause clogged pores and bacteria. It is very likely to cause acne around the mouth, or the original acne on the face is increased [2].

Solution
For these "uninvited guests", the focus of the treatment is first to wash your face carefully every day, especially to focus on cleaning the mouth.
If you have developed red, pustular and pustular acne, you can use acne creams, such as benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin , for symptomatic treatment. If the symptoms are not serious, you can apply tretinoin cream at night.

If you have mild acne on your face, you should shorten the time to go out as much as possible. You can reduce the wearing of masks in open and empty places outdoors. At the same time, you should also reduce the frequency of makeup and make the skin breathable [3].

postscript
Wearing a mask seems to have become our daily routine. Although this thing saves a lot of makeup time and cosmetics, the protection of the skin can't be taken lightly.
Only be wary of the situations mentioned above. Whenever you take your face seriously, you can confidently show your face when everyone takes off your mask and become the most beautiful child in the whole street~
