1. Reasons why skin tends to break out on fishing days

1) Prone to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays

Fishing can involve spending long hours outdoors, from morning through the afternoon and into the evening.

The face, neck, arms, and backs of the hands are areas that are easily exposed to ultraviolet rays.

Since you're more susceptible to sunburn reflection near the water, sun protection is essential.

 

2) The wind can easily dry out your skin.

When fishing in the sea or rivers, you may spend a long time exposed to the wind.

Prolonged exposure to wind can cause your skin to lose moisture easily, leading to dryness and tightness.

If your skin becomes dry after fishing, be sure to focus on moisturizing care.

 

3) Pores tend to get clogged with sweat and sebum.

During summer fishing, you tend to sweat and produce more sebum.

Sweat, sebum, and sunscreen can remain on the skin, which can lead to clogged pores and acne.

After fishing, the key is to rinse gently without rubbing your skin.

 

4) The skin on the hands is prone to dryness and irritation.

When fishing, you'll have many opportunities to come into contact with equipment, water, and towels.

The hands are prone to sunburn, dryness, and friction.

Don't forget to take care of the backs of your hands and fingertips, not just your face.

2. UV protection to consider when choosing fishing attire

1) Choose clothing that protects your skin.

When choosing fishing attire, it's important to consider not only ease of movement but also protection for your skin.

Choosing long-sleeved tops or breathable clothing will help prevent sunburn on your arms.

Clothing that covers your neck is also recommended.

 

2) Protect your face and scalp with a hat.

Fishing hats are useful for protecting your face and scalp from UV rays.

Choosing a hat with a wide brim makes it easier to protect your forehead and cheeks from the sun.

If you're going fishing for a long time, it's a good idea to pack a hat with you.

 

3) Protect your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses.

Fishing sunglasses not only reduce glare, but also help protect the area around your eyes from UV rays.

The skin around the eyes is thin and prone to dryness and fine lines.

On days when reflections from the water's surface are bothersome, wear sunglasses.

 

4) Don't forget to apply sunscreen.

Clothing, hats, and sunglasses alone are not enough to completely block out all ultraviolet rays.

Apply sunscreen to your face, neck, ears, arms, and the backs of your hands.

Because it can easily wash off with sweat, it's important to reapply it during breaks.

3. Skincare methods after fishing

1) Remove sweat, sebum, and sunscreen.

After fishing, sweat, sebum, and sunscreen tend to remain on the skin.

After returning home, gently wash your face with a cleanser or face wash.

It's important to avoid rubbing too hard and to minimize stress on the skin.

 

2) Cool down any redness or flushing.

If your face or neck is red after fishing, it may be due to the effects of ultraviolet rays.

Gently cool the area with a cold towel to soothe the skin.

At this time, it is recommended to avoid harsh treatments such as scrubs and peels.

 

3) Moisturize your face, neck, and hands.

After fishing, your skin is prone to dryness due to the effects of ultraviolet rays and wind.

After washing your face, replenish moisture with lotion and moisturizing cream.

The key is to moisturize not only your face, but also your neck and the backs of your hands.

 

4) Continue care if you are concerned about blemishes or dullness.

After exposure to ultraviolet rays, you may notice more blemishes and dullness in your skin.

Immediately after sun exposure, your skin is prone to sensitivity, so focus on moisturizing and soothing it first.

One option is to consult a cosmetic dermatologist after your skin has calmed down.

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

If you are concerned about dryness, blemishes, dullness, enlarged pores, or acne after fishing, you can consult with a dermatologist while they examine your skin condition.

 

1) If you are concerned about blemishes and dullness

Those who frequently expose themselves to ultraviolet rays while fishing may be more prone to developing blemishes and dullness in their skin.

Depending on your skin condition, you can consult with us about toning treatments and brightening care.

 

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

If your skin feels tight after fishing, it may indicate that your skin barrier has been disrupted.

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

 

3) If you are concerned about pores or acne

If you're concerned about sweat, sebum, or sunscreen residue, you might consider pore care.

However, since skin is more susceptible to irritation when it is red or has recently been sunburned, it is important to check the condition of your skin before making a decision.

Q1. Is sunscreen necessary on a fishing day?

Since fishing often involves spending long periods outdoors, we recommend using sunscreen.

Apply it carefully to your face, neck, ears, arms, and the backs of your hands.

Choosing the right fishing attire is important to protect your skin from UV rays and friction.

Hats are useful for protecting your face and scalp from UV rays.

Q4. Are fishing sunglasses also helpful in preventing skin irritation?

Sunglasses are useful for protecting the area around your eyes from UV rays.
