Fearing the seasonal change… For managing acne-prone and oily skin, just remember this.

Many people report that their skin suddenly deteriorates during the seasonal transition. Skin is sensitive to temperature, humidity, UV rays, and wind. Skin already worn out from summer exposure to UV rays can become even more sensitive when exposed to sudden temperature changes and dry weather. Those with particularly dry or oily skin require even more careful skin care. Dry skin can develop wrinkles, while oily skin can develop more breakouts. Let's explore seasonal skin care tips for each skin type.

 

◇For acne-prone skin, apply 1.5 to 2 times more moisturizing product.

 

Severely dry skin can become white, flaky, or rough during seasonal changes, as the moisture content in the stratum corneum decreases. This can also lead to wrinkles. For severely dry skin, adequate hydration is crucial. Apply 1.5 to 2 times your usual amount of moisturizer. On days when your skin feels particularly dry and tight, consider using a highly moisturizing product or a product specifically formulated for severely dry skin that provides both moisture and oil.

 

Another method is to mix eye cream with moisturizing essence and apply it. If dryness persists, it could be due to accumulated dead skin cells. People with dry skin often have sensitive skin, so exfoliating with a mild ingredient can be beneficial. However, excessive exfoliation can cause the skin to lose its natural moisturizing function. Do this about once a week. Place a steamed towel on your face for 2-3 minutes to soften dead skin cells and make them easier to remove.

◇For oily skin, sufficient hydration and exfoliation are important.

 

People with oily skin that tends to get shiny easily often neglect to apply moisturizer. However, even oily skin can become dry from within when the cold wind strips it of moisture. This can lead to a vicious cycle of increased sebum production. While the surface is shiny, the inside is dry. Therefore, sufficient hydration is essential to maintain a proper oil-water balance.

 

For oily skin, cleansing is especially important to remove various impurities that build up along with sebum. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue, and exfoliate and use a sebum-removing pack two to three times a week. If your oily skin is prone to acne or other blemishes, try products containing soothing ingredients and choose non-comedogenic products that won't clog pores. If this doesn't improve, consider treatment to reduce sebum production.

 

 

Meanwhile, skin doesn't change overnight. Regardless of skin type, improving your daily lifestyle habits is essential, along with proper skin care. It's best to thoroughly remove makeup, avoid washing your face with hot water, and avoid oily foods. Drink plenty of water—about 2 liters (8 cups) a day. It's also important to reduce stress and go to bed early.
