Summer acne/Autumn acne
Summer is said to be a season when acne is likely to occur because of the large amount of sweat and sebum produced and the tendency for pores to become clogged.
However, autumn is also a season when adult acne is likely to occur, so it is important to take proper care to prevent it.
In autumn, the humidity level decreases and the skin tends to become dry.
Dryness and changes in temperature can weaken the skin's barrier function, disrupting skin turnover.
It becomes harder for dead skin cells to peel off, and as pores become more keratinized, acne becomes more likely to develop.
When the skin does not get enough moisture, sebum production increases in order to protect the skin's moisture, and lack of moisture can also lead to acne.
<Summary>
The difference between summer acne and fall acne
Summer: Excessive sweat and sebum production can lead to clogged pores and acne.
Autumn: Dryness, temperature changes, and hormonal imbalances weaken the barrier function, causing old keratin to accumulate. As a result, the stratum corneum around the pores becomes thicker, making the pores more susceptible to clogging and acne.
Dryness causes increased sebum production, making pores more susceptible to clogging, just like in the summer.
Important things to do to prevent acne
-Does not weaken the skin's barrier function
・Normalize the skin turnover cycle
To maintain the moisture balance of your skin, first take care to maintain the skin's moisture level.
If you have oily skin, moisturize with a lightweight oil-free product.
Products labeled for acne tend to have strong cleansing powers, so we do not recommend them for people with dry or sensitive skin.
After washing your face, immediately moisturize with lotion and use a serum or cream containing oil to prevent moisture from evaporating.
This nutrient is helpful in preventing acne caused by dry skin during this time of year!
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B6
·zinc
(example)
Pork (shoulder or shoulder roast), liver, sardines, tuna, natto, eggs, oysters
It promotes skin turnover and is expected to have the effect of making skin smooth and moisturized.
Be careful not to consume too much fat or sugar
It is easy to imagine that fried foods and fast food are more likely to cause acne, but in fact, consuming too much carbohydrates and other sugary foods can increase sebum secretion, which can also cause acne.
Stress and lack of sleep can also disrupt skin turnover, so make sure you set aside some time each day to relax and enjoy your own time.
