Hello!Plastic Surgeon Dr. NatsumeThat's it!
Recently, as the weather has gotten hotter, we've seen an increase in consultations about issues like "my face feels sticky" and "I'm prone to breakouts."
Sprinkling water on the ground feels cool and refreshing, doesn't it? The reason it feels cool is because the water absorbs heat as it evaporates.
Our bodies regulate body temperature using the same mechanism.
As it gets hotter, blood flow around the pores increases to lower body temperature, and sweat and sebum secretion become more active.
Sweat evaporates and disappears, but sebum melts at 30–32 degrees Celsius and remains on the skin's surface,Shine and stickinessbecomes easier to feel.
Sebum remaining on the skin oxidizes under ultraviolet rays, forming lipid peroxides that impair the skin's barrier function,Redness and rough skincauses.
Due to clogged pores, bacteria multiply.Risk of heat rash and acneIf left as is,The opening of the pores themselvesalso leads to.
As sweat evaporates, it also draws moisture from the skin.Hidden Dry Skinmay also be the case.
When inflammation occurs in this way, reactive oxygen species are generated. Reactive oxygen species destroy collagen and elastin,Loss of skin firmness and elasticityThis is the cause. As a result,Skin agingis triggered.

To address these summer skin troubles,
Self-Care and Aesthetic Medicine Solutions You Can Start TodayIntroducing
⸻
1. Reevaluating Your Skincare Routine
• Gently cleanse your face
Wash your face twice a day! Avoid scrubbing too hard. Foam or gel cleansers effectively remove sebum for a refreshing clean.
• Thorough antioxidant care
Use a toner containing vitamin C derivatives to protect against oxidative damage.
・ Take thorough measures against sunburn
After your skincare routine, apply sunscreen before your makeup primer.
That alone is insufficient; ideally, sunscreen should be reapplied every 2-3 hours. For those concerned about makeup smudging, a mist type is recommended.
For both sunscreen and makeup, we recommend non-comedogenic products.
Non-comedogenic products are formulated to control oil and minimize the formation of comedones (clogged pores).

2. Reviewing Lifestyle Habits
•Consumption of greasy foods, excessive carbohydrates, and spicy foods
•Lack of sleep and stress
Be careful, as these increase sebum production. We recommend C1000 oral supplements or supplements containing vitamins B2 and B6, which suppress sebum secretion.
