The changing of the seasons is a time when daily temperatures tend to fluctuate.

Choosing clothing appropriate for the temperature is important, but your skin is also susceptible to the effects of temperature changes.

This time, we'll discuss why temperature changes can easily cause skin problems, what to wear according to the temperature, and skincare methods to keep in mind during seasonal changes.

1. Reasons why skin is prone to irritation due to temperature changes

1) Skin barrier is easily disrupted

On days with large temperature fluctuations, your skin may feel more sensitive than usual.

This is because the skin barrier can easily become disrupted by factors such as heat, cold, dryness, and air conditioning.

On days when your skin feels tight, prone to redness, or stings when you apply cosmetics, be sure to use gentle skincare products.

 

2) Prone to drying out

As temperatures drop, dry air becomes more noticeable.

Additionally, indoor air conditioning or heating can cause your skin to lose moisture more easily.

On days when your skin feels dry, it's important to moisturize not only with lotion but also with cream.

 

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

On hot days, sweating and sebum production tend to increase.

Leaving sweat and sebum on your skin can lead to clogged pores and acne.

On days when you sweat a lot, gently wash your face after returning home to keep your skin clean.

 

4) Makeup is prone to smudging.

Makeup tends to smudge more easily on hot and humid days.

Repeatedly applying makeup that has already smudged can put a strain on your skin.

Before touching up your makeup, it's recommended to gently blot away sweat and oil with a tissue.

2. Things to keep in mind when choosing clothing appropriate for the temperature

1) Temperature: Adjust your clothing by layering.

As many people search for "temperature and clothing," the changing of the seasons is a time when choosing what to wear can be difficult.

On days when there's a significant temperature difference between morning/evening and midday, using a cardigan or light jacket makes it easier to adjust to the changing temperatures.

Keeping your body from getting too cold is important for maintaining good skin condition.

 

2) On days when you tend to sweat a lot, pay attention to breathability.

On hot days, choose breathable clothing.

When clothes stick to your skin due to sweat, skin irritation can easily occur on your back, chest, and around your neck.

When you sweat, it's important to gently wipe it away without rubbing.

 

3) Don't forget to take precautions against air conditioning.

Even if the temperature outside is high, it can feel chilly indoors due to air conditioning.

Prolonged exposure to air conditioning can easily dry out your skin.

Having a light jacket on hand is useful not only for regulating body temperature but also for preventing dryness.

 

4) Pay attention to protecting your neck and arms from UV rays.

On warmer days, I tend to choose short-sleeved or low-cut clothing.

As a result, your neck, arms, and the backs of your hands are more susceptible to UV radiation.

Before going outside, apply sunscreen not only to your face but also to your neck and arms.

3. Skincare routine for days with temperature fluctuations

1) In the morning, wash your face without rubbing your skin.

On days when your skin feels sensitive due to temperature changes, be sure to wash your face gently.

Scrubbing too hard can put a strain on your skin.

It's important to use lukewarm water and avoid stripping away too much of the necessary moisture.

 

2) Moisturize more carefully than usual.

The changing of the seasons is a time when dry skin is a common concern.

After replenishing moisture with toner, protect that moisture with lotion or cream.

For those prone to dry skin, moisturizing care that focuses on strengthening the skin barrier is recommended.

 

3) Gently remove sweat and sebum during the day.

On hot days, you tend to sweat and produce more sebum during the day.

Gently press a tissue or soft towel against your skin without rubbing.

Afterward, it's a good idea to reapply sunscreen as needed.

 

4) Don't forget to cleanse and moisturize at night.

After returning home, gently remove sweat, sebum, makeup, and sunscreen.

On days when your skin is sensitive, it's best to avoid harsh scrubs and peels.

After washing your face, moisturize as soon as possible to soothe your skin.

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

If you are experiencing skin problems such as roughness, dryness, enlarged pores, acne, or dullness during periods of fluctuating temperatures, you can consult with a dermatologist while they examine your skin condition.

 

1) If you are concerned about dryness or skin barrier

If you experience persistent skin tightness or redness, your skin barrier may be compromised.

You can get advice on moisturizing care and skincare methods tailored to your skin condition.

 

2) If you are concerned about pores and sebum

On hot days, clogged pores due to sweat and sebum are more likely to become a concern.

I sometimes consider pore care methods that don't put too much stress on the skin.

 

3) If you are concerned about acne or skin problems

When temperature changes, sweat, sebum, and dryness combine, skin problems can become a concern.

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

 

4) If you are concerned about dullness or uneven skin tone

When your skin is dry or constantly tired, it can appear dull.

You can consult with us about moisturizing and brightening treatments tailored to your skin condition.

5. Q&A

Q1. Can temperature changes make my skin more prone to irritation?

During periods of significant temperature fluctuations, skin can become more prone to sensitivity due to factors such as dryness, air conditioning, sweat, and sebum.

On days when your skin feels sensitive, focus on moisturizing and gentle care.

 

Q2. Does dressing appropriately for the temperature also affect your skin?

It may be related.

Wearing clothes that make you sweat easily, or clothes that make you feel cold in air-conditioned environments, can lead to dry skin and skin irritation.

It's recommended to choose clothing that can be easily adjusted to the temperature.

 

Q3. What kind of skincare is best on hot days?

Gently remove sweat and sebum, and reapply sunscreen frequently.

After washing your face, it's important to replenish moisture with a non-greasy moisturizing product.

 

Q4. What kind of care is needed on cold days?

Be mindful of preventing dryness. In addition to toner, we recommend using lotion and cream to protect your skin's moisture.

 

Q5. Can I consult a dermatologist about skin problems that occur during seasonal changes?

Yes, you can consult with us. If you experience persistent dryness, redness, enlarged pores, acne, or dullness, consult a dermatologist to have your skin condition checked and discuss the appropriate skincare routine for you.

During periods of significant temperature fluctuations, skin can become dry, sensitive, and prone to enlarged pores and acne. While adjusting your clothing to regulate your body temperature, focus on moisturizing, sunscreen, and gentle cleansing. During seasonal changes, it's more important to protect your skin's barrier barrier than to over-treat it. If skin irritation, dryness, enlarged pores, or dullness persists, consult a dermatologist for personalized skincare advice.
