Since the skin is very sensitive during the change of seasons, we have to deal with a number of skin problems. Now let’s take stock of the many misconceptions many people have about skincare during the changing seasons.
1. When the sun isn’t shining outside, you don’t need sunscreen
Sunscreen mainly protects against ultraviolet rays, and ultraviolet rays exist all year round, not only on sunny days, but also on cloudy days, which are also very strong, so autumn is also very important for sun protection.
2. Thorough cleaning can improve keratin accumulation
Many friends always feel that the skin is dry and rough due to the accumulation of keratin on the face. Therefore, carry out all kinds of “deep cleaning“, using different cleansing milks, cleansing masks, facial cleansers, etc. But everyone knows that cleansing is very important, but over-cleansing leads to skin barrier damage. After the destruction of the skin barrier, the skin becomes fragile and sensitive, which is not worth bothering with.
3. Applying a mask or an intense moisturizer can relieve dry skin
When skin becomes dry and flaky, the first thing many think of is applying a mask or using more toner. We often hear that hydration actually penetrates the stratum corneum. If not well hydrated, it will evaporate easily. The so-called deep moisturizing is a wrong concept because there is no shortage of water in the dermis of the skin and skin care products cannot reach the dermis directly. Therefore, do not apply the mask frequently when the skin is dry and peeling.
