Skin care becomes much easier simply by accurately identifying your skin type. Skin types are largely divided into dry and oily with a lot of sebum. However, if you secrete a lot of sebum but are dry on the inside and are confused as to whether you have dry or oily skin, you most likely have oily skin.
‘Subuji’ is oily skin that lacks moisture, and is also called combination oily skin. It is shiny on the outside but dry on the inside, making it sensitive to external stimuli and prone to inflammation. Especially in the fall season, problems occur frequently as the daily temperature difference is large and the air becomes dry. Let’s learn about how to care for oily skin in the fall and how to quickly soothe skin troubles.
Tightness on the inside + bundle on the outside = ‘bodied’ skin
The change of seasons is a particularly difficult time for the skin. Dry winds and rapid temperature changes quickly deprive the skin of moisture, causing the skin to become drier on the inside but causing excess sebum on the surface. If this condition continues, an imbalance between sebum and moisture occurs, clogging pores and easily causing inflammatory problems.
The important thing here is to choose an appropriate care method that suits your skin condition. If you blindly use acne management products or focus on removing dead skin cells due to dryness, your skin condition may actually worsen. For oily skin, the key is to use a product that is absorbed quickly and suppresses sebum secretion.
Sensitive, oily skin, lifestyle habits to prevent skin troubles
For sensitive skin, constant care and proper lifestyle habits are essential. The following are lifestyle habits to prevent skin problems and maintain healthy skin.
● Supply moisture: Because oily skin is extremely dry, it is important to replenish moisture in the skin with sufficient moisturizing cream. If you omit moisturizer because you have too much oil, sebum secretion will become more active.
● Avoid touching your face with your hands: It is absolutely prohibited to touch or squeeze the problem area with your hands. Bacteria on your hands can worsen inflammation and leave scars.
● Proper face washing: Washing the face is important, but excessive washing can irritate the skin and worsen skin problems. In particular, cleansing oil can promote sebum secretion, so it is best to avoid it for oily skin.
● Wash your face with lukewarm water: Washing your face with water that is too hot can dehydrate your skin and cause irritation. It is best to gently wash your face with lukewarm water.
How to use a customized patch according to the problem condition
When trouble occurs with oily skin, it is important to quickly soothe the inflammation. Because the skin is sensitive, it is important to take appropriate measures to prevent further damage before inflammation develops. In this case, an acne patch can be an effective management tool. Pharmacist Byeon Sang-eun said, “The key is to select the appropriate patch according to the condition of the problem,” and introduced the ingredients of various trouble patches.
1. Inflammatory troubles
If the problem becomes red and inflamed, hyaluron tip patches and magnesium patches are effective. The Hyaluron Tip Patch contains hyaluronic acid dried into a fine needle shape and soothing ingredients, which melts into the skin and quickly relieves inflammation. Choosing a product made of a thin, matte material has the effect of covering troubled areas, and is practical because you can apply makeup on top of the patch.
Magnesium patches kill acne bacteria as the metal magnesium reacts with moisture in the skin and becomes ionized. It has a strong soothing effect, but it is noticeable because it has an actual metal tip attached, so if you apply it before going to sleep, you can receive intensive care while you sleep.
2. Red skin trouble without inflammation
For red skin that has not yet become inflamed, a soothing patch that quickly calms down the inflammation is recommended. If you choose a product that is thin and discreet, you can cover up skin troubles and have a soothing effect at the same time.
3. Care after popping acne
You should not touch a pimple with your hands, but if you have already squeezed it out, it is important to prevent scars and wounds. Hydrocolloid patches absorb exudate and allow rapid recovery without scabs. Hydrocolloid products can be used not only for acne, but also for removing freckles and moles.
When choosing a trouble patch, checking the ingredients is essential.
When choosing a trouble patch, it is important to carefully check the ingredients. Tea tree oil and niacinamide have inflammation-relieving and soothing effects, helping to relieve skin troubles. Houttuynia cordata extract and zinc are effective in controlling sebum, and the magnesium tip is excellent for killing acne bacteria. EGF ingredients help prevent scars. Using patches containing these ingredients can help you manage troubles more effectively.
