The weather in the north is too dry, how to maintain the skin?

In summer, when the temperature is high and the humidity is high, the skin's cortical secretion and sweat secretion increase. In addition, skin cells change faster in summer than in other seasons, and a large number of dead keratinocytes accumulate in the epidermis. If these skin "garbage" are not removed in time, it will block the pores of hair follicles and cause acne and acne. Therefore, the first thing to maintain skin in summer is to keep it clean.

In summer, you should increase the frequency of washing your face, generally 2-3 times a day, and increase the frequency of using scrub, so that you can clean your skin at least once a week, completely remove necrotic epidermal cells and expose new skin.

Don't use oily cream to protect skin in summer, but choose some water-based cosmetics, such as lotion and honey. After cleansing, you can pat your face with appropriate lotion according to your skin type, and then apply nutritional cream to replenish the lost moisture in time.

Quite a few people live in air-conditioned rooms in summer. Although air conditioning can drive away the high temperature, it is a dehumidifier, which will take away the moisture in the indoor air while cooling. Therefore, people who often live in air-conditioned environment must pay attention to replenish moisture to their skin, including drinking more water and using skin care products with moisturizing effect.

The sunshine in summer will have many adverse effects on the skin, because it contains more ultraviolet rays. In addition to solar dermatitis, freckles and chloasma, excessive exposure can also cause precancerous lesions and malignant tumors of the skin, so sun protection is another focus of skin care in summer. In order to protect delicate and smooth skin, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Wear a sun hat or umbrella when going out.

2. Wear a pair of sunglasses that can block ultraviolet and infrared rays. Glasses must be dark enough to allow only 20% to 30% sunlight to penetrate into the glasses, which can protect the eyes from hot sunlight and make the eyelids less prone to wrinkles.

3. Apply sunscreen to exposed parts of the skin, and apply sunscreen to delicate parts of the skin, such as eyes, throat, face and back of hand.

4. Wash your face and wipe your body with cold water immediately after your skin is exposed to the sun and comes back indoors. If the skin is red and hot, you can gently rub it with a towel dipped in 50% vinegar to relieve the pain. If the eyes are sunburned, gently press the eyelids with ice water or cucumber slices to reduce eye edema. If the symptoms are serious, seek medical advice promptly.

Fruits and vegetables abound in summer, which not only provide people with rich nutrition, but also bring convenient natural raw materials for beauty and skin care. You can directly wipe your face with cucumber slices or watermelon skin, or mash some vegetables such as tomatoes and loofah to get juice and apply it to your face, which is good for skin beauty.
