How do I care for and maintain my skin?

  With the footsteps of time beautiful spring has quietly come, spring, the body functions actively, metabolism accelerates, sebum secretion for skin moisturizing role began to gradually become vigorous, but the dry spring breeze reduces the humidity in the air, the temperature rises, but “spring warm but still cold”, the spring weather is hot and cold, changeable. Although the sun is not strong, the hours of sunlight begin to lengthen significantly.  As the sunshine grows, ultraviolet radiation also increases, and the sky is filled with the fragrance of flowers and pollen. At this time, people’s skin, after a winter, just wake up from hibernation, pores quietly open, metabolism began to be active but not yet fully recovered, it is difficult to adapt to the vagaries of the climate, so it seems unusually delicate, sensitive, all adverse external stimuli may make it produce lesions.  So the usual care and maintenance is particularly important.  1, pay attention to the skin moisturizing and anti-allergy and care: skin moisture content is the key to keep the skin moist, plump, bright. As the climate is dry resulting in dry skin, so pay attention to skin moisturizing. Here to remind you not too high water temperature when bathing every day, do not wash too long, do not use the bath or soap excessive rubbing skin, because excessive use of alkaline bath or soap rubbing skin will make the skin dry, itchy, promote skin aging.  Clinically, we often see some patients come to the clinic because of the daily transitional bathing caused by rough, itchy, aging skin. After bathing, you can use some topical moisturizing cosmetics, or oral and topical antioxidants to keep the skin moist to reduce the occurrence of dermatitis and prevent skin aging has a certain role.  Allergy prevention should not be ignored: Spring is the season of skin allergy. Whether it is the stimulation of the spring breeze or pollen sensitivity, when the skin produces a slight allergy, the first thing to do is to stop using the suspected cosmetics and allow the skin time to soothe, usually the symptoms will disappear in two or three days.  If there is persistent redness, itching, peeling and other symptoms, you should go to a dermatology hospital for diagnosis and treatment. In addition, spring skin blood vessels and pores also expand, the secretion of sebum also becomes vigorous, if this time also use more oil skin care products, it is easy to block the pores.  You should use some creams or lotions with low oil content in spring, so that it does not affect the normal breathing of the skin, but also to provide nutrition for the skin.  2, do a good job of skin sunscreen: UV rays are one of the important causes of skin allergies and aging in exposed areas, and spring is the season of strong sunlight irradiation, so it is very important to prevent UV damage to the skin in the spring. First of all, when you go out with a sun hat or umbrella, especially certain people who are sensitive to ultraviolet rays should pay more attention.  Only the use of shading sun apparatus, such as umbrellas, sun hats, etc. are not enough to shade UV rays, because the ground, water, beach, etc. can reflect UV rays, thus causing light damage to the skin.  Therefore, it is very common to use sunscreen in spring. However, there is some learning in the use of sunscreen, mainly allergy issues. Some people have sensitive skin, and the external use of sunscreen not only did not play a role in sun protection, but also caused skin allergies.  Experts cautioned to do skin sensitivity test before using sunscreen, that is, a little in the forearm or behind the ear to apply some, after 1-2 days, no reaction and then apply to the face; at the same time, it is recommended that such patients do not use the sunscreen coefficient too high sunscreen.  3, strengthen the dietary allocation: spring also pay attention to diet, for sensitive body type is recommended to eat less or do not eat wild vegetables, parsley, celery, parsley and other photosensitive vegetables, try to avoid eating seafood and mango, pineapple and other fruits. More food containing vitamins A, B, C and E has a health effect on the skin.  Vitamin A has antioxidant and anti-keratinizing effects, animal liver, cod liver oil, carrots, pumpkin, apricots, milk and other foods rich in vitamin A. Vitamin B is involved in the metabolism of the skin, in beans, lean meat, bird eggs, fish, nuts, yogurt, cheese, vegetables and other foods with high content; vitamin C can help the human skin collagen synthesis, prevention and control of skin aging, clear pigmentation function, vitamin E is a good antioxidant. Vitamin E is a good antioxidant, the human body is lack of vitamin E will appear skin slack, wrinkles are obvious, chloasma, vegetable oil, fish, beans, cauliflower, malt, cabbage, nuts and other foods rich in vitamin E. It is recommended that people eat more fruits and vegetables in summer, drink more water, draw a sufficient amount of water, avoid high-fat and caffeine-containing food, do not smoke.  4, maintain physical health: pay attention to adequate sleep, maintain a healthy state of mind, avoid and reduce psychological stress, the formation of good habits, such as quit smoking, quit drinking, etc., has a very important role in the health of the skin.  I believe that through proper care and maintenance, your face will definitely be rejuvenated in this spring.
