Haze is harmful to the skin

April 9, 2023
The haze not only affects the body, but also brings considerable damage to the skin. The skin can not breathe freely will bring a series of dryness, sensitivity, acne and other problems, so rescue and protection go hand in hand, both offensive and defensive is the way to give the skin a small fresh king.

Hazy days can bring what harm to the skin

When a hazy day occurs, there are more suspended substances in the air. These suspended substances include dust from construction sites, exhaust fumes from cars, and waste fumes from chemical plants. It contains mostly dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, organic hydrocarbons and other particles. These suspended particles are very small, with an average diameter of 10-20 microns, and are easily attached to our fragile skin. It is easy to bring skin allergies, inflammation, pore size, dull skin tone and other problems, and all these problems will accelerate the speed of skin aging.

Cleanse: alternate hot and cold water wash face to open pores

In hazy weather, cleaning is particularly important, because haze particles are usually gelatinous state, easily attached to the skin, those floating in the surface layer can be washed off, and hidden in the pores is a big hidden problem, once clean, will be mixed with the secretions in the pores again, causing acne and inflammation, but also more likely to be infected. The hazy weather suspended particles, inevitably clogged in the pores to form blackheads, causing pore blockage, keratin build-up, skin peeling. Therefore, the air is cloudy and the pollution index is over the limit, the first step we need to do is to deep cleanse. You can alternate hot and cold water to get the pores open so that cleansing products such as facial cleansers can clean deep into the pores and achieve a thorough cleaning.

Hydration: Strengthening the skin's defenses

The "hydration" is really a cliché, especially in the spring, less than 15% humidity in the air will accelerate the loss of moisture, and coupled with the hazy weather, only moisture can help the skin metabolism smoothly, increase their own resistance, reduce allergies and inflammation caused by foreign dirt. Therefore, what your skin needs at this time is not only replenishment, but also minimizing the loss. When choosing a moisturizer, it is important to determine whether the skin is simply dehydrated or needs to be replenished with water and oil. For dry and normal skin, a moisturizing lotion or refreshing cream is recommended, but not too oily, as it will increase the likelihood of haze particles sticking to the skin and can be complemented by a moisturizing mask. For oily skin, it is better to choose oil-free or low-oil moisturizing gels and jellies, while moisturizing masks can be used daily. Generally speaking, the best effect of skin hydration and detoxification is at night. It is recommended to supplement the use of hydrating products with the help of some detoxification products to help with rapid cell growth and repair.

Sunscreen: mitigate "dirty air" damage

Sunscreen isolation is not only a summer thing, to really protect the skin, 365 days a year need sunscreen isolation, in the hazy weather, this is especially important. As a product that prevents direct contact between foundation and skin, isolation cream can relieve the clogging of pores by foundation, forming a protective "barrier" against external aggressions. At the same time, the isolation cream also has a certain degree of isolation for UV rays, thus achieving the effect of sun protection. In hazy weather, to prevent more haze particles clinging to the skin, the texture of the sunscreen and isolation products should be based on light, that is, the sunscreen multiplier can be reduced accordingly (after all, this thick haze can also prevent the sun's penetration, which relatively reduces some sun damage), because the higher the multiplier means increased viscosity.
