1. What is fatigue caused by excessive rainfall?

"Heavy rain fatigue" refers to a condition where one experiences lethargy, drowsiness, a heavy feeling in the head, and general fatigue due to prolonged periods of heavy rain.

It is said that more people tend to become concerned about this during the rainy season, typhoon season, and the autumn rainy season.

On rainy days, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and temperature tend to change easily, and the body tries to adapt to these changes.

As a result, you may feel sluggish, unmotivated, or sleepy.

Since skin condition is related to overall body condition, you may notice that your skin condition is more prone to becoming unbalanced during periods of fatigue.

2. Why skin is more prone to sensitivity during the rainy season

1) High humidity makes oily skin more likely to be a concern.

The rainy season is a time when humidity is high and skin tends to feel sticky.

Increased sweating and sebum production can lead to clogged pores and acne.

Even on days when your skin feels sticky, be careful not to over-wash, as this can be harsh on your skin.

 

2) Air conditioning indoors can easily cause dryness.

On rainy days, humidity is high, and people tend to use air conditioning or dehumidifiers indoors more often.

As a result, your skin may feel sticky on the surface but dry underneath.

On days when your skin feels tight, it's important to take extra care with moisturizing.

 

3) Swelling tends to be more noticeable during periods of low pressure.

On days when it rains continuously, some people may feel sluggish due to the influence of low pressure systems.

When you're concerned about facial swelling, your jawline can sometimes appear blurred.

In the morning, avoid letting your body get cold, and focus on improving circulation with light stretching and warm drinks.

 

4) Skin becomes more sensitive when you are feeling unwell.

On days when you feel unwell due to fatigue from heavy rain, your skin may also feel more sensitive than usual.

You may find that your usual cosmetics sting, cause redness easily, or make your skin prone to dryness.

On days like these, focus on protective care rather than aggressive care.

3. Skincare routine for days when you're worried about fatigue from heavy rain.

1) Wash your face gently.

During the rainy season, stickiness can be a concern, but washing too vigorously can put a strain on the skin's barrier.

Wash your face gently with lukewarm water, without rubbing.

It's also a good idea to carefully wash only the areas where you're concerned about excess sebum.

 

2) Moisturize even on sticky days

On humid days, you might be tempted to keep your moisturizing routine light.

However, if the inside of your skin is dry, you may actually become more concerned about excess sebum.

Replenish moisture with a toner, then protect that moisture with a lotion or cream.

 

3) Avoid harsh treatments.

On days when your skin is prone to sensitivity due to fatigue from heavy rain, it's best to limit harsh treatments such as scrubs and peels.

When your skin is sensitive, it's best to keep it simple with familiar products rather than trying new cosmetics.

On days when redness or dryness is a concern, prioritize moisturizing and soothing the skin.

 

4) Fix smudged makeup without rubbing.

The rainy season is a time when makeup is more likely to smudge or run due to humidity and sweat.

Before touching up your makeup, gently blot away sweat and oil with a tissue.

Rubbing to fix it can increase friction on the skin, which can lead to redness and skin irritation.

 

5) Cleanse thoroughly at night.

On rainy days, sweat, sebum, makeup, and sunscreen tend to remain on the skin more easily.

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

After that, it's important to moisturize thoroughly to prevent your skin from drying out.

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

If you are experiencing skin problems such as roughness, dryness, enlarged pores, acne, dullness, or swelling due to fatigue from heavy rain or the effects of the rainy season, you can consult with a dermatologist while they examine your skin condition.

1) If you are concerned about pores and sebum

During periods of high humidity, excess sebum and clogged pores become more noticeable.

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

 

2) If you are concerned about acne or skin problems

Sweat, sebum, and makeup residue can leave behind skin problems such as acne and irritation.

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.

 

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

When you're constantly tired or sleep-deprived, your skin can appear dull.

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

 

4) If you are concerned about dryness or skin barrier

Even on humid days, air conditioning and dehumidifiers can cause your skin to dry out easily.

If you experience persistent tightness or redness, consult a doctor about skincare that focuses on strengthening your skin barrier.

 

5) If you are concerned about swelling or your jawline

Some people are concerned about facial swelling and sagging of the jawline on rainy days.

You can also consult with us about lifting treatments tailored to your skin condition and concerns.
