A new year has begun, 2024. This year's zodiac sign is the dragon, which means prosperity. The dragon is the only imaginary creature in the zodiac, but it was probably included in the zodiac as a creature that has been widely loved in the East since ancient China. I hope that this will be a year of prosperity that soars high into the sky.
Skin Care Calendar
This is a skin care calendar, so after understanding the key points for each season, check out the monthly themes.
Beauty Rhythm
Skin care is very complex, and it is important to choose the most suitable skin care depending on the various rhythms and changes that surround us. In this article, we will organize and explain five beauty rhythms.
1. Daily rhythm
Our skin follows a 24-hour rhythm, from morning to noon to night, with the golden time for skin cell division being between 10 pm and 2 am. This daily rhythm is reset at dawn (morning sun = sunlight). The reason why being exposed to morning sunlight is said to be good for your health is because it is important to properly reset your daily rhythm. It is essential to have a lifestyle pattern that properly resets your skin each day, and to prepare for the golden time of cell division by washing away the dirt of the day, providing it with nutrients and moisture, and moisturizing it. Morning skin care can also be seen as preparation to protect your skin from environmental changes before activity (= environmental changes).
②Lunar rhythm
Women have a monthly rhythm caused by endocrine hormones called menstruation. Skin problems caused by irregular periods also disrupt this monthly rhythm, leading to disruptions in skin cell metabolism. It is said that even the gravitational force of the moon, symbolized by the ebb and flow of the tides, affects the body. Regular, ongoing skin care is important to regulate the monthly rhythm of skin cells.
③ Age rhythm
Unfortunately, it is inevitable that the skin's turnover cycle will become longer as we age. Lifestyle, which affects metabolism, will also change with age. Anti-aging care is often thought of as skin care for middle-aged and elderly people, but it should be considered as skin care appropriate for age.
④ Seasonal rhythm
As the seasons change, from spring to summer to autumn to winter, so do the temperature, humidity, and hours of sunlight. These changes affect the normal metabolism of skin cells. Cells adjust their metabolic rhythms to respond to and synchronize with these external changes, and the condition of the skin changes as a result. Skin care that is appropriate for the season is necessary to help skin cells perceive major changes as gradual and minimize changes in skin condition.
⑤ Rhythm of life
Regardless of age, changes in your lifestyle can have a significant impact on your skin condition. Changes in your work schedule, or sudden changes in your life due to marriage or childbirth, mean that you need to reconsider your skin care routine.
It is important to be aware of these changes in rhythm and choose the skin care that is best suited to you now. In the next issue, we will provide specific skin care advice in response to each change in rhythm.
