Say goodbye to the cold winter and welcome the sunny and flowery spring. In this pleasant season, it is very important to protect the skin. From the choice of skin care products, the way to use them and what to do when problems arise, we will analyze the following small problems that plague our patients.
Question 1
Every year in spring, my face is always gross, red, a little flaky, slightly itchy, my family said I have skin allergies, this year I stopped using skin care products, but even more, the face is dry, especially uncomfortable.
Analysis.
This type of condition is more common in spring and belongs to facial recurrent dermatitis, which is related to the environmental factors in spring. Compared to winter, the sunshine in spring is significantly stronger, people walk in the warm sun for a long time and do not feel the heat, but then the problem comes. After a winter, people’s tolerance to ultraviolet light is significantly reduced, and when they receive prolonged exposure, sun-related dermatitis occurs. In addition, pollen in spring is also a good factor for facial dermatitis. The most common manifestations are facial erythema, a small amount of flaking, and feeling itchy and dry. If you stop using skin care products, the skin is not protected and the symptoms will worsen. Therefore, when you encounter this situation, there is no need to be nervous, skin care and moisturizing, shade and sun protection, avoid the intake of some photosensitive foods, and for those with severe symptoms, under the guidance of a doctor, with medication.
Question 2
I have been suffering from hormone dependent dermatitis for several years, and my symptoms are sometimes mild and sometimes severe. When spring comes, I also pay attention to shade protection, but sometimes my symptoms inevitably worsen, and I temporarily use topical hormone creams.
Analysis.
Some patients, when dermatitis appears on the face, will use hormone creams topically for a long time, the skin symptoms will be temporarily relieved, but over time, the side effects of hormones are manifested, the skin becomes thinner, becomes more sensitive, intolerance to temperature changes, sunlight, pollen, skin care products, etc., the facial skin is red, swollen, burning, itching, and emotional agitation. This is the adverse effect of improper use of topical hormones. This patient, who has been diagnosed and instructed by her doctor, believes that she usually does it very seriously, but just doesn’t have enough confidence.
Here, I continue to encourage you to insist on the following points.
1. stop using topical hormones.
2. choose medical emollients.
3.Protect yourself from the sun by physical shade, such as sunshades, sunglasses.
4, the emergence of symptoms, timely cold compresses, topical emollients, if necessary, seek medical attention.
5, calm mood, build confidence.
Question 3
Recently, people say that you can not wash your face too much, and you can not use the mask casually, what kind of precautions are there in choosing skin care products?
Analysis.
This is the classic question about skin care. To choose skincare products, you must first determine your skin type, whether it is dry, normal, oily or sensitive. Commercially available skin care products are also made for these different types of skin with different properties to achieve the basic role of moisturizing and oil control. Among them, dry skin, sensitive skin, the step of cleansing, not too often. The human skin surface has a protective sebum film, excessive cleaning, loss of sebum film, equal to the absence of the protective layer, the skin barrier is broken, that results in skin loss of moisture, become sensitive and dry. These conditions do not only occur in dry and sensitive skin, but also oily and normal skin can evolve into problematic skin if the sebum film is not properly removed. After cleansing, topical emollients are needed to provide moisturization. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to choose medical emollients. These products have streamlined ingredients and generally remove fragrances and preservatives to give safer protection to the skin. Today, there is a wide variety of masks, in addition to cleansing masks, the biggest effect of the masks usually used is the role of soothing and hydrating, here it is recommended to choose safe products and avoid shoddy products containing hormones and other undesirable ingredients.
On the issue of skin care, choose the right skin care products for you, use them correctly, shade them from the sun, in addition, have a happy mood, get enough sleep, avoid intake of photosensitive, spicy and irritating food, and if the problem is serious, seek medical attention in a timely manner.
