June is the month when the rainy season begins in earnest, with heavy rainfall lasting for about a month, except in Okinawa, where the rainy season ends. However, this year, due to the La Niña phenomenon, it is predicted that even sunny days will be extremely hot. It is important to keep an eye on the weather and be mindful of your skin care routine during this time of year. In this article, we will give you some skin care tips to suit the weather and skin condition in June.
June's skin stress keywords
1. High humidity and sweating <br data-mce-fragment="1">After the rainy season begins in June, temperatures rise and so does humidity. As the rainy season continues in July, humidity levels reach their highest levels for the year, resulting in many humid days. Humid air is good for keeping skin hydrated, but as temperatures and humidity rise, sebum secretion also increases, stimulating sweating. As a result, pesky makeup stains mixed with sebum and sweat tend to remain on the skin.
2. Extreme heat and solar radiation on sunny days <br data-mce-fragment="1">This year's summer solstice is on June 21st. This is the month when the daylight hours are the longest of the year and when solar radiation reaches its peak. As it is during the rainy season, there are many cloudy and rainy days and the average sunshine hours appear to be short in this month, but the amount of solar radiation on sunny days is the highest of the entire year, so thorough measures to protect against sunlight are essential.
3. Chills and dryness caused by air conditioners <br data-mce-fragment="1">Due to the cooling and dehumidification functions of air conditioners, cold and warm air goes back and forth many times throughout the day... This causes stress for both the skin and the body due to the temperature difference, which affects the skin's metabolism. Also, even though the outside air is humid, the air conditioner environment is dry, so it is important to be aware of "measures against dryness" even during the humid rainy season.
Acne and its treatment
The key words for skin stress in June are "high humidity" and "sweating," which leave dirt mixed with sweat on the surface of the skin, making it more likely to develop acne and pimples. In this article, we will talk about acne and how to care for it.
What is acne? <br data-mce-fragment="1">Acne is a condition in which excess sebum secretion causes pores to become clogged, resulting in the accumulation of sebum in the pores (called comedones or pimples). When acne bacteria multiply in these comedones and cause inflammation, acne develops and the tissue around the pores can be destroyed, leaving uneven scars. Acne is often referred to as being of three different types: whiteheads, red pimples, and blackheads, but the differences between them are as follows:
(Whiteheads) Sebum accumulation without inflammation (Red acne) Inflamed and red (Blackheads) Sebum accumulation that has oxidized and discolored without inflammation
Basics of Acne Care <br data-mce-fragment="1">First of all, regular cleansing and washing of the face is important.
In addition to removing your makeup after returning home, keep your skin clean by cleansing and washing your face in the morning and evening.
In particular, cleansing and washing your face in the morning is something we tend to neglect, but cleansing not only removes makeup, it also removes the sebum that accumulates while you sleep. Also, be careful not to wash your face too much, as this can be a burden on your skin.
If you develop acne, it is important to seek early treatment with topical medications and to make lifestyle changes. Avoid trying to hide acne with a mask or scarf, and avoid touching acne with your hair.
Too much makeup can clog pores and make acne worse. Acne cannot form around the eyes or on the lips, so try using eye makeup and lipstick to improve the finish of your makeup. In any case, it is important to heal acne as soon as possible before it turns into uneven scars. It has not been scientifically proven that there are any foods that make acne more likely to occur or worsen, so it is said recently that there is no need to be careful about what you eat.
