The effects of yellow sand on your skin

At this time of year, we see news about yellow sand every day.

Do you know what effect yellow dust has on our skin?

Being warned means that you need to be careful of yellow sand.

Of course, yellow sand is not just desert sand.

- Harmful substances in car exhaust fumes and smoke emitted from factories in China - Allergens such as mold, dust mites, and dust

They attach themselves to these and fly away.

<Yellow sand is alkaline>

When slightly acidic skin becomes alkaline, it becomes more susceptible to inflammation.

If the pH balance is disturbed, the skin's barrier function will be weakened and it may cause skin problems.
It is important to keep the pH level of your skin slightly acidic.

<Skin symptoms>

Itching, tingling, dryness, eczema, etc.

Furthermore, harmful substances in the air can make the body more susceptible to the production of active oxygen.
An excess of active oxygen causes oxidation of skin cells, which leads to wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of aging.

<Yellow sand particles are small>

The pollen of cedar and cypress trees has a diameter of 30 to 40 um, while yellow sand is about 4 um.
Because the particles are very fine and there is a risk of them adhering to the skin and causing inflammation, we recommend cleansing and washing your face immediately after returning home.

<Check here for masks>

Cloth masks have weak protective properties, so we recommend non-woven masks.
Choose products that are labeled "PM2.5, pollen, and yellow sand resistant."
