What skin problems do you have in the summer?
Many people may be focusing on UV care, including skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
In addition to that, there are probably many other skin problems such as shine, sebum, and makeup coming off due to sweat, but are you taking proper care of your skin in the summer ?
Surprisingly, one of the most common causes of skin problems in the summer is dryness .
When we hear about dry skin, we tend to think of it as something that happens more in the winter, but in the summer there are many hidden factors that can cause "inner dryness" of the skin , such as "damage from ultraviolet rays," "excessive secretion of sweat and sebum," and "use of air conditioning."
Inner dry skin has been gaining attention in recent years.
In normal, healthy skin, sebum, which acts as a seal to prevent moisture from evaporating from the skin, and natural moisturizing factors (NMFs), which store moisture inside the stratum corneum, function in a good balance.
On the other hand, inner dry skin is a condition in which the surface of the skin is sticky due to sebum secretion, but the inside of the skin is dry due to a lack of moisture in the stratum corneum.
It is also said to be one of the factors that cause not only dryness but also aging.
However, when it comes to dealing with "inner dry skin," many people may not know what specific beauty items to choose.
This time, the target audience was ordinary women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
A survey was conducted on "inner dryness."
We asked ordinary women about their skin concerns in the summer.
First, we asked women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s about their skin concerns and skin care methods during the summer.
"Please tell us about your skin problems in summer."
"Sunburn (65.1%)"
"Spots and freckles (53.0%)"
"Sticky (41.6%)"
"Please tell us what you pay attention to when it comes to summer skin care."
"Thorough protection against UV rays (63.1%)"
"Moisturizing (42.7%)"
"Gentle cleansing (31.8%)"
As expected, the results showed that people who placed importance on UV protection, which is unique to the summer, stood out!
Next, the results showed that many people are conscious of basic skin care, such as moisturizing and careful cleansing, which are important skin care aspects.
"Have you heard of inner dry skin?"
It seems that more than 70% of people are not familiar with the reality of inner dryness.
"When do you feel your skin is dry in the summer? (Multiple answers allowed)"
"After bathing (24.4%)"
"Daytime (20.6%)"
“When you wake up (17.2%)”
It seems that many people experience dryness not only after bathing, but at any time during their lives.
And in the summer, you need to use air conditioning to prevent dryness!
However, some respondents in this survey said that they "don't pay much attention to moisturizing care in the summer."
Reasons given include "Because I sweat, my face doesn't feel as dry (painful or flaky) as it does in the winter (20s)" and "I have oily skin, so it feels even more sticky (40s)."
Stickiness, one of the skin concerns felt during the summer, appears to be a factor in avoiding moisturizing care in the summer.
So what specific functions are required for summer moisturizing care items?
"What do you look for in a summer moisturizing care item? (Multiple answers allowed)"
"Not sticky (69.9%)"
"Whitening effect/anti-blemish prevention (48.8%)"
"No shine (44.2%)"
When it comes to summer moisturizing care products, many people want products that are less sticky and shiny, while also prioritizing whitening effects and anti-blemish measures.
Furthermore, since summer is a time of many stimuli, it's nice to have items that are gentle on the skin.
Summer UV rays are a big enemy for the skin. What measures do you take to protect yourself from them?
"Please tell us what measures you take to protect yourself from UV rays (multiple answers possible)"
It appears that people are taking measures to protect themselves from UV rays, such as using sunscreen and using parasols and hats to avoid direct sunlight.
And what's very important is skin care after being damaged by UV rays!
As many people know, skin that has been damaged by ultraviolet rays is more sensitive and prone to dryness than usual.
The first step to whitening and beautiful skin is to "take better care of your skin with moisturizing care than usual."
What kind of beauty ingredients do you look for in skin care products after exposure to UV rays? (Multiple answers possible)
"Vitamin C and Vitamin C derivatives (63.2%)"
"Hyaluronic acid (18.0%)"
"Tranexamic acid (13.3%)"
Vitamin C is an ingredient that leads to clear, beautiful skin by inhibiting melanin production and promoting collagen synthesis, so many people feel that it is necessary for skin damaged by ultraviolet rays.
