1. Introduction
Spring is a time when the warm weather makes us feel excited. However, this is also a time when our skin tends to become unstable due to various factors unique to this season. This unstable and sensitive state of skin is called "skin fluctuations."
Skin instability can be caused by skin becoming sensitive to external stimuli, dryness, excessive sebum secretion, or a weakened skin barrier. Spring pollen, temperature differences between day and night, and dryness can all add up to skin instability. Even normally healthy skin can become rough and develop itching, redness, and dryness due to these factors.
2. What causes skin irritation in spring?
In spring, temperature changes, dryness, pollen, and other factors affect the skin, weakening its barrier function. This can make the skin more sensitive and cause a variety of skin problems. Specific causes include the following:
1. Pollen irritation
One of the most troublesome things about spring is pollen, which can cause damage to the skin, including inflammation and itching, when it adheres to the skin. Areas of the face, such as the eyes, cheeks, and nose, are particularly susceptible to pollen, destroying the skin's barrier function and causing inflammation.
2. Decreased barrier function due to dryness
Spring is a season with low humidity and tends to be dry. Because there is little moisture in the air, moisture from the skin evaporates easily, weakening its barrier function. As the dryness progresses, the skin becomes more sensitive and overreacts to external stimuli.
3. Stress caused by temperature changes
In spring, the temperature difference between day and night is large, making it difficult for the skin to adapt to temperature changes and making it more susceptible to stress. This makes the skin's condition unstable, making pollen and dryness more susceptible to the effects on the skin.
3. The key to preventing skin fluctuations is moisturizing
Moisturizing is the most important skin care to prevent spring skin problems. When the skin's barrier function is weakened due to dryness, it becomes more sensitive to external stimuli and its condition is more likely to fluctuate. Moisturizing is the basic care for keeping skin moist while protecting it from dryness and external stimuli.
1. Improves the skin's ability to retain moisture
In spring, moisture evaporates easily from skin due to dryness, pollen, and temperature changes. Using skin care products rich in moisturizing ingredients can help retain moisture and prevent dryness. Cold process soap is made using a method that leaves natural moisturizing ingredients intact, so skin continues to be moisturized even after washing. This improves the skin's ability to retain moisture and protects it from dryness.
2. Supports the skin's barrier function
When the skin's barrier function weakens, pollen, dirt, and UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause damage. Cold process soap supports this barrier function by providing natural moisturizing ingredients, as well as oil-derived moisturizing ingredients, leaving your skin feeling moisturized after washing. It's the perfect item for sensitive spring skin, protecting it from external stimuli.
3. Moisturizing care after washing your face
After washing your face, your skin is prone to dryness and is most susceptible to losing moisture, so it's important to moisturize thoroughly after washing. Cold process soap leaves your skin moisturized even after washing, preventing dryness. Adding more moisture with lotion or cream also helps prevent dry skin and spring fluctuations.
4. Restores skin's natural condition
Moisturizing is necessary to protect your skin from dryness and external stimuli, and to restore its natural condition. Proper moisturizing care will help restore skin firmness and elasticity, maintaining healthy skin. Cold process soap has mild cleansing power that is gentle on the skin, delivering necessary moisture to prevent spring skin problems.
4. Essential facial cleansing methods for spring skin
Spring skin is very delicate and sensitive to external stimuli such as dryness and pollen. Therefore, it is important to review your face washing method and take gentle care of your skin. We will explain the face washing method necessary for spring skin in the following points.
1. Gently lather and wash
Spring skin is especially sensitive, so scrubbing is a no-no. Work up plenty of lather and wash your face by gently enveloping it. Using a foaming net makes it easier to create creamy, bouncy lather, allowing you to wash your face without putting strain on your skin.
2. Wash your face with lukewarm water
Hot water strips your skin of its natural oils, causing it to dry out. Wash your face with lukewarm water (30-35°C) and rinse gently. Washing with lukewarm water will help remove excess dirt while retaining moisture in your skin.
3. Cold process soap helps moisturize after washing your face
Cold process soap is made using a method that leaves natural moisturizing ingredients intact, leaving your skin moisturized even after washing. It's the perfect item for the dry spring months, providing essential moisture while supporting your skin's natural barrier function. Its high moisturizing effect makes it useful for preventing spring dryness.
