1. Reasons why skin tends to break out on the day of a fireworks display

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

On the day of a fireworks display, you often end up spending a long time outdoors.

Summer is a season when sweat and sebum production tend to increase, making clogged pores and acne more common.

Leaving sweat on your skin can lead to stickiness and makeup smudging.

 

2) Easily exposed to ultraviolet rays

Fireworks are a nighttime event, but sometimes you have to be outside from before evening to secure a spot and move around.

Therefore, taking precautions against UV rays during the day is also important.

Make sure to apply sunscreen not only to your face, but also to your neck, arms, and the backs of your hands.

 

3) Makeup can easily irritate the skin.

Makeup tends to run easily during fireworks displays due to sweat and humidity.

Repeatedly applying makeup that has already smudged can lead to clogged pores and skin irritation.

When touching up your makeup, it's best to gently blot away any excess sweat or oil first.

 

4) Skin is prone to friction in crowded places and from wearing masks.

At fireworks displays, you may have to spend long periods of time in crowded places.

Friction can occur when masks, hair, or the collar of a yukata come into contact with the skin.

If you have sensitive skin, try to avoid rubbing your skin as much as possible during skincare.

2. Skincare routine before going to a fireworks display

1) Moisturize thoroughly in the morning.

On the day of a fireworks display, moisturizing in the morning is important to prevent your makeup from smudging.

When your skin is dry, it tends to produce more sebum, which can make your makeup feel like it's more likely to smudge or wear off.

Moisturize your skin with non-greasy moisturizing products.

 

2) Don't forget to apply sunscreen.

Even if you're going to a fireworks display in the evening, sunscreen is still necessary.

This is because you may be exposed to ultraviolet rays while traveling or waiting.

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

3) Don't apply too much makeup.

On the day of a fireworks display, makeup tends to smudge easily due to sweat and oil.

Applying a thick layer of base makeup can make pores more noticeable when the makeup starts to wear off.

It's recommended to apply a thin layer and frequently blot away excess oil.

 

4) Pack items to help with sweating.

For a fireworks display, it's a good idea to pack a handkerchief, tissues, sunscreen, and moisturizing mist.

When wiping away sweat, gently pat your skin instead of rubbing it.

The key to preventing skin irritation is to avoid rubbing.

3. Proper skincare after a fireworks display

1) Remove your makeup as soon as you get home.

After a fireworks display, sweat, sebum, dust, and makeup tend to remain on the skin.

After returning home, cleanse and wash your face as soon as possible.

It's important to remove it gently without rubbing too hard.

 

2) Soothes skin redness

You may experience facial redness or a feeling of flushing after a fireworks display.

In that case, gently cool it with a cold towel.

It's best to avoid harsh treatments such as scrubs and peels.

 

3) Moisturize thoroughly

Skin is prone to dryness after sweating.

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

If you are concerned about dryness, it is important to focus on moisturizing care that protects the skin barrier.

 

4) If you are concerned about pores or acne, avoid irritation.

You might notice clogged pores or acne after a fireworks display.

However, using strong treatments when your skin is sensitive can be damaging.

First, focus on cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing your face.

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

If you are concerned about skin problems such as irritation, enlarged pores, acne, dryness, blemishes, or dullness after a fireworks display, you can consult with a dermatologist while they examine your skin condition.

 

1) If you are concerned about pores and sebum

Those who are concerned about clogged pores caused by sweat and sebum may consider pore care.

You can consult with us about cleansing care and sebum balance treatments tailored to your skin condition.

 

2) If you are concerned about acne or skin problems

If you experience acne or redness after a fireworks display, it's possible your skin has been stressed.

Rather than continuing to use strong skincare products based on your own judgment, it's important to consult a professional about skincare that suits your skin condition.

 

3) If you are concerned about blemishes or dullness

After being exposed to ultraviolet rays on the day of a fireworks display, you may find yourself more concerned about blemishes and dullness of the skin.

Once your skin has calmed down, you can consult with a cosmetic dermatologist about toning treatments and brightening care.

 

4) If you are concerned about dryness or skin barrier

After sweating or spending a long time in an air-conditioned environment, your skin tends to dry out easily.

If you experience persistent skin tightness or dryness, consult a professional about moisturizing care and skin barrier care.
