It's getting warmer and the days are starting to feel more like spring. Many people are starting a new life. It's an exciting season, but did you know that it's also an important time to take care of your skin?
Many people feel that their skin is in a different condition than usual due to various reasons such as pollen, temperature differences from winter, and changes in lifestyle that come with starting a new life.
Furthermore, skin that has become accustomed to the UV rays of winter is easily left defenseless, and can unknowingly suffer unexpected damage from the stronger UV rays that come spring.
During this season, you may notice that your skin condition is somehow different than usual.
This may be a sign of "spring sensitive skin."
This time, the target audience was ordinary women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
A survey was conducted on "spring sensitive skin."
We conducted a survey of ordinary women about their awareness of "spring sensitive skin" and what they do to deal with it.
First, let's look at women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s' awareness of "spring sensitive skin."
"Have you ever experienced unstable skin*?"
More than half of the respondents (55.2%) answered "Yes."
* Sensitive skin: A condition in which the skin's barrier function is weakened, causing skin problems due to external factors (pollen, dust, ultraviolet rays) and internal factors (stress and irregular lifestyle habits).
"When did you realize that your skin was sensitive? (Multiple answers allowed)"
"March (58.0%)"
"April (47.0%)"
For most people, spring was the time when they felt their skin was sensitive.
As temperatures rise, ultraviolet rays also become stronger.
Even those with sensitive skin, and even those whose skin doesn't usually get rough, may experience more dry skin than usual in spring, which is the season of change.
"My skin just isn't feeling right"
Many people probably feel the same way. So, what kind of measures are needed?
The important thing about skin care is to first understand the cause of the discomfort .
The key is to take effective preventative measures depending on your concerns.
So, when we asked people what symptoms they actually experience as unstable skin, 80% answered "dryness (76.0%)."
Many people experience dry skin. In spring, there are large changes in temperature and humidity, which can easily affect the skin's barrier function .
This may lead to dryness, itching, and stinging that you don't normally feel.
It is also unique to spring that many people answered that they think pollen is the cause of their sensitive skin.
As new lives begin, many people seem to be feeling "stress (23.4%)" and "disorders in lifestyle (19.7%)."
When asked, "Have you ever taken any measures to deal with sensitive skin?" about 70% of people answered "No (69.8%)."
Next, "Why didn't you take any measures to deal with your sensitive skin?"
"I didn't know what to do (41.5%)"
"I felt there was no problem (36.7%)"
70% of people answered this way. It seems that many people don't know effective ways to deal with sensitive skin and end up just leaving it as it is.
So, if you have tried to deal with sensitive skin , what did you do?
"Addition or change of cosmetics (33.2%)"
"Reviewing self-skin care methods (30.9%)"
"Improvement of lifestyle habits (15.8%)"
It was revealed that about 30% of people have added or changed their cosmetics or reviewed their skin care methods.
The survey suggested that switching to cosmetics that are suitable for sensitive skin would be an effective solution.
We asked her in detail about the measures she has actually taken to deal with sensitive skin that she felt were most effective.

When asked, "Are you aware of the beauty ingredient fullerene as a remedy for sensitive skin?", approximately 10% answered "Yes (7.4%)" .
It seems that not many people are familiar with fullerene, a beauty ingredient.
When we asked people who knew about fullerene, "What effects do you expect from fullerene?",
"Aging care (36.5%)"
『Antioxidant effect (33.8%)』
"Moisturizing (24.3%)"
Fullerene is an ingredient that is of interest to those who are looking to use it as an anti-aging care ingredient, as well as those who are aiming for beautiful skin, due to its antioxidant and moisturizing effects, and support for the skin's barrier function .
