This article briefly introduces the causes of common skin problems before and after summer festivals, everyday preventative measures, and professional skin care that can smartly resolve these issues at a cosmetic dermatology clinic.

1. Why the environment of summer festivals can cause skin problems

Summer events present a complex and harsh environment for the skin.

 

1) Strong ultraviolet rays and heat

Strong UV rays during the day accelerate photoaging of the skin, and the heat in the venue raises skin temperature, triggering redness and inflammation.

 

2) Excessive secretion of sweat and sebum

In hot and humid environments, the large amounts of sweat and sebum secreted mix with makeup, becoming the biggest cause of clogged pores.

 

3) Pollution in the atmosphere

Dust from crowded areas and smoke from food stalls (selling things like potatoes and yakitori) adhere to the skin's surface, causing physical irritation.

 

2. Summer skin concerns that tend to be a concern before and after festivals

1) Clogged pores and blackheads

Excess sebum, when not properly expelled, clogs pores and oxidizes, turning into blackheads.

 

2) Adult acne and skin problems

Wearing a yukata or other clothing that requires prolonged makeup touch-ups, or leaving sweat on the skin, can easily lead to breakouts of acne on the jawline and cheeks.

 

3) Redness and flushing

Direct sunlight and heat reflected from the ground can cause temporary, mild burns on the skin, making it very delicate.

3. Summer skin protection measures you can do every day

1) Gently "press and wipe" without rubbing.

When wiping away sweat, instead of rubbing vigorously with a handkerchief or similar item, gently pat to absorb the moisture.

 

2) Immediate cleansing upon returning home

Don't leave dirt and sebum on your face; as soon as you get home, gently wash it off with a well-lathered facial cleanser.

3) Moisturizing to combat inner dryness

Even if the skin's surface feels oily, the inside is often dry, so replenish moisture with a low-oil gel or a light lotion.

 

 

4. Quick and effective summer skin care that you can consult about at a cosmetic dermatology clinic.

Self-care alone is often insufficient to calm enlarged pores or rapidly worsening acne. In such cases, professional treatment can be effective.

 

1) Pore and dead skin cell clearing care

It gently removes sebum and old dead skin cells from deep within pores that cannot be completely removed at home, regulates skin cell turnover, and prevents acne.

 

2) Rapid cooling and sedation management

It quickly lowers the temperature of skin reddened by UV rays and heat, and allows active ingredients to penetrate and soothe the skin barrier instantly.

 

3) Skin barrier regeneration technology

By enhancing the skin's natural healing abilities and restoring moisture balance, it creates a foundation for healthy skin that is less susceptible to the external irritants of summer.

5. Q&A

Q1. What should I keep in mind when doing my makeup for a summer festival?

A. Thickly applied foundation can clog pores when mixed with sweat, so it's recommended to use a lightweight base or cushion with high UV protection and set it with a fixer.

 

Q2. My face is stinging and the redness won't go away after the festival.

A. Your skin is experiencing sunburn (inflammation caused by sun exposure). If temporarily discontinuing the use of functional cosmetics and applying a cold pack does not improve the condition, you should seek soothing treatment from a dermatologist.

Q3. I'm planning to wear a yukata, but I'm worried about the acne on my back.

A. Yukata expose the nape of the neck and back, so these are areas we receive many inquiries about. Back peeling and scaling at a cosmetic dermatology clinic can help you achieve smooth skin in a short period of time.
