Summer damage comes to autumn skin

Autumn is a time of year when the intense heat eases and the weather becomes more pleasant, but it is also the time of the year when skin problems are most likely to occur. The biggest cause is the damage accumulated over the summer. Summer skin has been exposed to harsher environments than we imagined, including strong ultraviolet rays, dryness from air conditioners, and clogged pores from excessive sebum secretion and sweat.

If you leave these damages untreated as autumn approaches, skin turnover (rebirth) will be disrupted and dead skin cells will accumulate. As a result, problems such as stiffness, dullness, appearance of age spots, and sudden dryness of the skin are caused. The first step to creating beautiful skin in autumn is to firmly reset this “summer debt”.

Autumn skin care reset technique

Here are some concrete steps you can take to reverse summer damage.

1. Soften your skin with gentle exfoliation No matter how expensive lotion you apply, it won’t penetrate into stiff skin. First, gently remove unnecessary dead skin cells by using an enzyme face wash, mild peeling, or wiping lotion that is gentle on the skin. By normalizing skin turnover, your skin care routine will change dramatically.

2. Double care of “whitening” and “high moisturizing” In order to suppress the production of melanin activated by the influence of ultraviolet rays, continue using serums containing active whitening ingredients such as vitamin C derivatives and tranexamic acid until early autumn. At the same time, in preparation for the humidity that decreases as autumn deepens, it replenishes plenty of highly moisturizing ingredients such as ceramide and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin’s barrier function.

3. Promote blood circulation for dull skin When it gets cooler, blood vessels constrict, making dullness more noticeable due to poor blood circulation. Stimulate blood flow by incorporating a light facial massage into your skincare routine or warming your entire face with a hot towel. Taking a slow soak in a bathtub to increase your whole body’s metabolism is also an effective way to regain clear skin. Careful reset care in autumn will create strong and beautiful skin to survive the harsh winter.
