Let's take care of our skin while avoiding spring fine dust.

First, strengthening the skin barrier

 

To protect your skin from fine dust

The skin barrier must be strengthened.

The skin barrier is located on the outermost layer of the skin.

The stratum corneum plays a role in blocking external substances such as viruses, bacteria, and fine dust.

The skin barrier, composed of lipids that fill the spaces between keratinocytes, is

The most important component

Ceramide accounts for more than 50%, and 

Components such as cholesterol and free fatty acids

It contains

Therefore, to protect your skin from fine dust in the spring, it is helpful to replenish the components that make up the skin barrier.

 

Second, be careful of dermatitis and dry skin.

 

As I get older, I become weaker

With a skin barrier that slows down regeneration, applying skin irritation such as excessive exfoliation or scrubbing inevitably makes it more difficult to repair the skin barrier.

If the skin barrier is damaged, it becomes easily susceptible to external substances

In cases where the skin becomes dry due to exposure

It can lead to dermatitis or dry skin.

You must always be careful.

 

Third, maintain skin pH at 5.5

 

If you maintain your skin at a pH of 5.5

The most effective for strengthening the skin barrier

It can be helpful

pH is an indicator of acidity.

The lower the acidity, the closer it is to an acidic state, leading to excessive oil production and making skin troubles more likely to occur.

The higher the value, the closer it is to alkaline, so it becomes dry.

In alkaline environments, bacteria and fungi thrive, and proteins within the stratum corneum are prone to denaturation. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, you must maintain the skin's acidity at a slightly acidic pH of 5.5; this ensures that the appropriate amount of oil and sebum protects the skin, creating the optimal condition to shield it from fine dust during the spring.
