The season when we are most likely to suffer from inner dryness is actually summer.
What is Inner Dry?
This refers to a condition in which the surface of the skin is sticky, but the skin inside is dry and lacks moisture.
In summer, the amount of sweat and sebum secreted increases, making it difficult to notice that your skin is dry, and in fact many people suffer from hidden inner dryness.
Causes of inner dryness
UV rays
Strong ultraviolet rays can damage the skin, weakening the skin's barrier function.
The moisture content of the skin decreases.
●Air conditioner
When exposed to cold air, moisture is lost from the surface of the skin, and its moisturizing and barrier functions are reduced, resulting in inner dryness.
Skin care
Washing your face too much in an attempt to remove sebum, using only lotion because you're worried about stickiness, or having a skin care routine that doesn't include applying serums or creams can all cause your skin to dry out from the inside.
●Sweat
When you sweat, it takes moisture away from your skin as it evaporates.
If you sweat, wipe it off frequently with a wet towel.
<Inner dry check>
✔ The T-zone is oily, but the eyelids, cheeks, and area around the mouth are dry
✔ Skin feels tight after washing
✔ Rough and stiff texture
✔ Base makeup doesn't stick well
✔ Base makeup easily comes off
✔ If you are concerned about dark spots around your nose and open pores
If three or more of these apply to you, you may have dry skin.
What is the difference between dry skin and inner dryness?
Dry skin = lack of moisture and sebum
Inner dryness = lack of moisture
If you have dry skin, you also lack sebum, so even if you press your face with tissue, very little sebum comes off.
The key to preventing inner dryness is prevention of dryness + UV protection!
Moisturizing is important to keep your skin moisturized.
Even when it comes to moisturizing, removing too much oil can suppress sebum secretion more than necessary, so it is important to be conscious of skin care that maintains a balance between moisture and oil.
Take a look at your skin condition and choose the skin care that suits your skin.
If you have dry skin, exposure to UV rays can worsen your dry skin condition.
It can also cause rough skin and deepen wrinkles. Don't forget to take measures against UV rays on a daily basis.
Let's do our best.
