Skin condition that is extremely irritated after taking a direct hit from fine dust and spring winds.
The weather was nice for the first time in a while, so I spent the whole weekend at an outdoor park, but my skin is in terrible condition this morning, so I feel really depressed.
Perhaps because I took a direct hit from the spring wind carrying fine dust and pollen with my bare face, my entire face has turned red and flushed and itches like crazy, so I am really miserable.
When I touched my face to wash it in the morning, the texture felt rough and dry, like touching coarse grains of sand, so even the mild toner I usually use every day felt stinging.
I applied a hydrating foundation to do my base makeup, but white flakes appeared, and far from adhering, it only highlighted my skin's unevenness even more, so I ended up wiping it all off.
I couldn't stand the itching at all and unconsciously scratched my cheek. The fingernail marks swelled up bright red and remained, leaving a mark, so I've been sighing all day.
I am bitterly resentful of my stupid self from last weekend for letting my guard down and not taking thorough care of sun protection and moisturizing before going out just because the sun was warm, and I am fiercely reflecting on my actions.
When I get off work today, I will definitely wash my face with a gentle, non-irritating cleansing milk and apply a generous amount of chilled aloe gel to thoroughly cool down the heat sensation first.
If I leave it like this, it seems like it will spread into severe dermatitis and cause me a lot of trouble, so for the next few days, I think I should avoid all functional cosmetics like anti-aging products and focus solely on soothing and hydration.
It is a beautiful season perfect for outdoor activities, but it is also a time when the skin is very easily irritated by external factors. Therefore, we ask that our members pay special attention to thorough cleansing and moisturizing after going out.
