Skin Care SOS : for Sudden Breakouts
Sometimes I have imagined such things. It would be great if my skin could tell me the reason every time my skin breaks out. Then I wouldn’t have wasted countless amounts of money on buying cosmetic products to improve my irritated skin. I’ve been suffering from adult acne for quite a long time when I started to put on makeup and when hormones activate sebum secretion. Since then, my skin has become very sensitive, so if I use products that do not fit my skin type, my skin becomes red and sensitive immediately. The time when my skin condition was at its worst, I often visited dermatology. Due to the burdensome costs, however, the best way for me was to buy and try a lot of products and test them on my skin until they work for me. In particular, as wearing masks became common during the COVID 19, all kinds of irritations that touch my skin made my skin weaker.
With the crisis of COVID 19, the beauty industry has taken a big turn for the worse. Overall consumption has declined, but the sales of skincare products have reported overwhelmingly high in the beauty industry. Even if people don't wear makeup, the majority of them do not stop taking care of healthy skin. Since it became difficult for some people to go to the spa to get the skin care, people began to take care of their skin at home instead.
Here, I would like to introduce some of the most effective skincare products based on my experience. My skin breaks out once every season changes or with a little irritation. As long as I know how painful and stressful it is, I couldn’t be happier if this would be any help to your skin improvement.
1. Beauty Device – Foreo Luna Mini 3
It is no exaggeration to say that beauty devices received the most attention among home care products. We all know the fact that removing makeup is more important than putting on makeup. However, cleansing products themselves have limitations in cleaning up your face to the deep part as we use our hands to wash our face. Cleansing with good products is important of course, but this silicone vibration cleanser is just perfect for more meticulous cleansing. This device is a "Must Have" item that not only reduces the skin irritation but also perfectly manages pores such as removing sebum and blackheads. The back of the device also has a massage program so you can reduce a great amount of time touching your skin with your hands. You might think using a tool is annoying and takes a lot of time. However, it only takes less than 1 minute to wash your face, including having a massage.
2. Face cream – Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
This product is the one that I've been applying twice on a daily basis, in the morning and the night. The effect of this cream is truly amazing. It soothes the redness of the skin and recovers the irritated skin in a short term. The texture is richy but not too oily which prevents skin from feeling stuffy. This texture rather forms a protective film on the skin damaged by external factors and helps restore the natural skin barrier. Since this product is for all skin types, you will be able to use it without any concern.
3. Face Mask – Dr. Jart DERMASK™ WATER JET SOOTHING HYDRA SOLUTION
During the hot summer, our skin is prone to lose elasticity. There is no other product than a sheet mask in this situation when your skin needs to be cooled down. This product was the most effective one that I've ever used among a lot of sheet masks. Before using it, put the mask in the refrigerator to cool it. After you wash your face and cleanse the skin with toner, adhere the sheet mask gently on your face. Cica ingredients will relieve your skin trouble and hydrate your skin by penetrating deeply into it. Let's give our skin enough rest at least once or twice a week by lowering the skin temperature.
4. Pimple Patch - ELABAND Hydro Dot Eraser Patch
According to the medical study from the university in Australia (2015), a person touches his or her face about 23 times an hour on average. Nothing could cause skin trouble more than frequent facial touches. If you already have acne on your face, put this patch on so you don't touch your skin anymore. I usually put this patch on the pimple spot after I squeeze it and apply ointment. Putting this on the developing pimple will make it smaller after a few days. It is also waterproof so you don't need to worry about it being detached. Important thing to remember here is that you should never use a cotton swab or hand when squeezing pimples if you don’t want to leave a pimple scar. Use the tool instead and be careful not to get germs infected.
In the summer, the skin can easily be irritated and sebum secretion is highly active, which means you can experience unwanted skin trouble. This might work the same way during changing seasons. If your skin breaks out one day for no reason, don't get too stressed or distressed about it. Stress will only damage your skin. Even if it takes some time, skin will eventually be recovered from your constant care. Make sure to have enough rest for yourself and remember these little tips that might help you!
