Hi, I'm a koala who wants to be beautiful with you.~
As the weather cools, the state of our skin is also quietly changing: the dryness of the skin surface is becoming more and more obvious, the use of lotion products feels insufficient moisturizing power; the amount of oil secretion on the surface of the skin is significantly reduced, and the skin's oiliness gradually fades.
It is difficult to meet the skin needs of the skin at this time when using skin care products in summer, and in autumn and winter, it will obviously feel that the skin's self-protection has decreased, the facial skin is dry and peeling, and skin sensitivity problems are very easy to occur.
In the autumn and winter when the season and the external environment change, and the humidity and temperature gradually decrease, how to adjust the skin care method to smoothly pass the season change period and maintain the stable state of the skin? Today we will talk about it in detail.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Why does dry skin increase in autumn and winter? </h1>
(1) Environmental impact
First of all, the biggest impact on the skin is the environmental factors, autumn and winter temperatures drop, the humidity in the air is significantly reduced, the skin percutaneous water loss value and skin hydration will be greatly affected, and these will also affect the skin barrier structure function.
Especially the skin stratum corneum moisture content, usually the skin stratum corneum moisture in 10%-30%. The water content of the stratum corneum will also vary according to different skin types, with the water content of the stratum corneum of normal skin being the most appropriate, followed by mixed skin, oily skin, and dry skin with the least water content of the stratum corneum, close to the critical value. Therefore, in the autumn and winter, the stability of the skin state will be significantly reduced.
In addition, the amount of oil and sweat secreted by the skin in autumn and winter will be greatly reduced, and the skin texture will also change.
The oils secreted by the sebaceous glands are the natural protective film of our skin and one of the important parts of the structure that makes up the skin's barrier structure. When the amount of oil and sweat secretion decreases, the formation of the skin barrier is affected and the barrier protection function is weakened.
The decrease in ceramide content in the skin in autumn and winter is obvious, which is close to 40% lower than that in summer. The content of ceramides decreases, the lipid structure of keratinocytes is unstable, and the structure of the stratum corneum is affected.
The structure of the sebaceous membrane and stratum corneum is unstable, the water locking and moisturizing power of the skin decreases, and the skin surface is dry, peeling, itching problems gradually appear.
(2) Wrong skincare method
In addition to these natural environmental factors, our wrong skincare practices in autumn and winter can also exacerbate the uneasy state of the skin.
The water temperature is too high when washing your face. The temperature drops in autumn and winter, making many people accustomed to washing their faces with hot water during daily cleaning.
However, excessive water temperature will cause the loss of natural moisturizing factors in the skin sebaceous membrane, aggravating the dryness and itching of the skin, while the hot water washing causes the capillaries of the facial skin to expand, and the red blood on the cheeks will become very obvious in the long run. Wash your face in autumn and winter, and the water temperature should not exceed 40°.
Deep cleaning frequency is too high. In autumn and winter, the secretion of oil in the skin is reduced, and the accumulation of oil in the pores of the skin is alleviated. At this time, the frequency of deep cleaning should also change.
Deep cleansing skincare 1-2 times a week is enough, and excessive cleaning is very serious to the skin barrier.

After fully understanding the impact of the autumn and winter environment on the skin and the characteristics of the skin, let's talk about the skin care regimen suitable for autumn and winter. The two most common problems with the skin in autumn and winter are insufficient skin moisturizing power and disorders of the skin barrier structure.
Focusing on skin moisturizing care is especially critical. Dry skin is dominated by cream products with a high oil content and containing blocking moisturizers to enhance skin nutrition and oiliness. Shea butter, horse oil, mineral oil, jojoba oil and other ingredients are very suitable.
For mixed skin, the skin appears to have a small amount of oil in the T-zone in autumn and winter, and a slightly dry U-zone on the face. For mixed skin types, zoned skincare is the focus, using products with different oil content in the T and U zones to improve the texture of the skin.
The amount of oil in the T zone is relatively rich, and the lotion product can be applied; the skin in the U zone is dry, and the cream product with more oil content can be applied, and the skin moisture can also be enhanced by applying essential oils in the U zone.
Oily skin care in autumn and winter is much simpler than in summer. Oily skin oil content in summer is too high, while oil secretion in autumn and winter is significantly moderate. Oily skin moisturizes in autumn and winter with lotions or refreshing cream products.
Enhancing and stabilizing skin barrier function is also the focus of autumn and winter skin care. Regardless of skin type, the stability of the skin's barrier structure will be reduced in autumn and winter.
Panthenol, ceramides, urea, VE and other ingredients have a significant effect on improving the skin barrier, and strengthening the skin barrier is also one of the most effective ways to improve the skin's own ability to lock in water and moisturize.
Dry skin in autumn and winter not only requires us to do the above skin care, but also needs to pay attention to avoid excessive skin cleaning and excessive hydration. Reduce the frequency of deep skin cleansing and use mask products in moderation. Skin also has a supple, translucent texture in autumn and winter.
