1. Why your skin tends to dry out after using a public bath.

1) Moisture is easily washed away with hot water.

Sometimes, when I go to a public bathhouse, I use water that's hotter than usual.

While it warms the body, soaking in hot water for a long time can cause essential moisture to be lost from the skin.

If your skin feels tight after a bath, try reviewing the water temperature and bathing time.

 

2) Over-washing can easily put a strain on the skin barrier.

Many people feel the need to thoroughly wash their bodies when they go to a public bathhouse.

However, scrubbing too hard with a nylon towel or using too much strong body wash can put a strain on the skin's barrier.

For those with dry or sensitive skin, it's important to wash gently.

 

3) After a sauna, the skin tends to lose moisture easily.

Many people also use the sauna at public bathhouses.

After a sauna, you feel refreshed from sweating, but your skin is also prone to losing moisture.

If you don't moisturize, you'll likely notice dryness on your face and body.

 

4) Skin tends to dry out easily from air conditioning after a bath.

After a public bath, your body is warm and you're more prone to sweating.

Afterward, if you are in an air-conditioned environment, your skin's moisture may evaporate more easily.

The key is to moisturize as soon as possible after bathing.

2. Skincare items to bring to a public bath

1) Mild facial cleansers and body washes

It's a good idea to bring a facial cleanser and body soap that suit your skin type when you go to a public bath.

The provided products may not suit your skin, so if you have dry skin, bring your own products.

2) Toner and moisturizing cream

After a bath, your skin is prone to dryness.

Having facial toner, moisturizing cream, and body cream on hand allows you to moisturize your skin immediately.

Moisturizing products are essential for preventing dryness after using a public bath.

 

3) Clean towel

Rubbing your skin too hard with a towel can cause redness and itching due to friction.

After using the public bath, gently pat yourself dry with a clean towel.

 

4) Hair care and scalp care items

After using a public bath, your hair and scalp tend to dry out easily.

It's also a good idea to bring a hair milk that you can use before blow-drying, and a shampoo that suits your scalp.

Pay attention not only to dryness on your face and body, but also to dryness on your scalp.

3. The correct skincare method after bathing

1) Wash your body gently without rubbing.

In a public bathhouse, it's also important to remove dirt.

However, rubbing your skin too hard can remove too much of the necessary oils.

If your skin tends to be dry, wash it gently with your palms or a soft towel.

 

2) Moisturize immediately after bathing.

After a bath, your skin tends to dry out more easily over time.

Replenish moisture in your face with lotion and moisturizing cream, and in your body with body cream.

The shins, elbows, knees, and back are particularly prone to dryness.

 

3) Remember to rehydrate after using the sauna.

After using a sauna, not only your skin but also your body tends to become dehydrated.

Along with moisturizing care, be sure to also focus on staying hydrated.

If you are concerned about dry skin, it is important to avoid prolonged sauna use.

 

4) Avoid irritation if there is redness or itching.

If you experience redness or itchiness after using a public bath, your skin may be sensitive.

At this time, avoid scrubs, peels, and strongly scented products.

If your symptoms persist, we recommend consulting a dermatologist.

4. Treatments you can consult about at a cosmetic dermatology clinic

If you are concerned about dryness, skin irritation, enlarged pores, or dullness after using a public bath, you can consult with a dermatologist while they examine your skin condition.

 

1) If you are concerned about dryness or a disrupted skin barrier

If your skin feels tight after a bath, it may indicate that your skin barrier is disrupted.

Let's discuss moisturizing care and skincare methods tailored to your skin condition.

 

2) If you are concerned about pores or rough skin

If you are concerned about sweat, sebum, or dead skin cells, you might consider pore care.

However, since skin is more susceptible to irritation when it is dry or red, it is important to check your skin condition before making a decision.

5. Q&A
