As spring approaches, your skin tends to become more unstable.

"My usual skincare routine doesn't work anymore," "My skin feels prickly," "My hair also feels dry somehow."

Many people probably experience these springtime skin and hair troubles, don't they?

The causes are changes in temperature and humidity, as well as pollen, yellow dust, and intensified UV radiation.

During this season, it is important to gently care for your skin and hair while restoring their barrier function.

This time, we will introduce skincare and hair care tips to prevent springtime skin instability.

What causes springtime skin instability?

✔ Pollen and yellow dust can adhere to the skin, causing itchiness and redness. ✔ Changes in temperature and humidity can easily lower the skin's barrier function. ✔ The effects of intensified UV radiation increase the risk of dryness and spots.

 

As such, the spring environment is stressful for the skin, and your usual care may easily upset its balance.

Therefore, let's practice skincare and hair care to prevent springtime skin problems.

Skincare to protect your skin from pollen & dryness

① Wash gently to reduce irritation

In spring, pollen and yellow dust can easily adhere to the skin, and scrubbing can reduce the barrier function due to friction.

It is important to "gently remove dirt and cleanse without stressing the skin."

 

✔ Choose milk or gel cleansers over oil cleansers. ✔ Use a foaming cleanser and wash with foam without rubbing. ✔ Always wash your face at night to thoroughly remove pollen.

 

CHANT's all-purpose shampoo bar has a gentle formula that can be used on the face.

It is mildly acidic and gentle on the skin, with good lathering properties, effectively removing pollen and dirt.

② Hydrate thoroughly to restore barrier function

When skin is dry, its barrier function weakens, making it more susceptible to pollen irritation.

Protect your skin well with toner + moisturizing items.

✔ Apply toner in 2-3 layers ✔ Replenish oil with emulsion or cream to lock in moisture ✔ On severely dry days, use a sleeping mask or sheet mask

 

SAKI Oil Serum is a beauty oil that hydrates the skin while supporting its barrier function.

When applied to wet skin after a bath, it leaves the skin feeling moist and smooth.

③ Ways to reduce pollen irritation

✔ Apply thorough skincare before makeup to create a barrier on the skin ✔ Use a mask and glasses when outdoors to prevent pollen adhesion ✔ Upon returning home, immediately wash face & moisturize

Hair care to protect your hair from pollen & dryness

Pollen adheres not only to the skin but also to the hair and scalp.

Leaving pollen on your hair can cause scalp itchiness and hair loss.

It is essential to properly remove pollen and protect your hair with moisture care.

① Thoroughly remove pollen from hair

✔ When you return home from outside, brush your hair to remove pollen

✔ Shampoo thoroughly at night to keep your scalp and hair clean

CHANT's all-purpose shampoo bar lathers well and effectively washes away pollen.

It rinses off easily, so there's no worry about residue, and the formula is gentle on the scalp.

② Oil care to prevent hair dryness

Dry hair is prone to static electricity, making it easier for pollen to attach.

By giving hair shine and moisture, pollen becomes less likely to stick.

✔ Apply SAKI Oil Serum to the ends of your hair

✔ Apply a little oil before going out to keep hair manageable

対策を体の内側からも

✔ Actively consume vitamins C and E, which have antioxidant properties (citrus fruits, nuts, green and yellow vegetables)

✔ Improve gut health by incorporating fermented foods (yogurt, natto, miso)

✔ Get enough sleep and avoid stress

Summary

For springtime skin instability, gentle skincare and thorough moisturizing are key.

✔ Gently remove pollen with a mildly acidic, well-lathering cleanser (the CHANT All-Purpose Shampoo Bar is recommended) ✔ Enhance barrier function with ample moisturizing (SAKI Oil Serum for thorough care) ✔ Use oil care to prevent pollen from adhering to hair ✔ Care for your body from the inside out to prevent problems
