Causes of Spring Skin Problems and Dryness

While skin dryness is often associated with autumn and winter, many people are likely experiencing a sudden decline in their skin condition this spring. You might be wondering why, despite diligently moisturizing throughout autumn and winter. The truth is, there are causes unique to spring.

 

Irritation from Pollen and Yellow Dust

 Spring is the season for pollen and yellow dust. When these adhere to the skin, they can trigger allergic reactions and inflammation, weakening the skin's barrier function. As a result, moisture can easily escape, leading to dryness.

Temperature Fluctuations 

Spring brings significant temperature differences between day and night, with warm days alternating with chilly ones. The skin struggles to adapt to these rapid temperature changes, disrupting its sebum balance and making it prone to dryness.

Stress from Environmental Changes 

Spring is a season where people often experience stress, both mentally and physically, due to new beginnings and changes in work environments. Stress can disrupt hormone balance and skin turnover, leading to dryness and skin problems.

Incorrect Moisturizing Habits

What you believe is good care might actually be exacerbating your dryness.

Overwashing

When you're concerned about skin problems, you might be tempted to wash your face frequently or scrub vigorously. However, overwashing can strip away essential oils from your skin, worsening dryness.

Soaps with Strong Cleansing Power

Soaps with strong cleansing power, while fine for healthy skin, should be used with caution on compromised skin. They can wash away essential moisturizing ingredients.

Moisturizing Only After Bathing

Applying body cream only after bathing is not enough. It's important to consider moisturizing from the washing stage and to care for your skin by penetrating moisture into its deeper layers.

The Importance of Not Over-Cleansing

For those with dry and sensitive skin, "not over-cleansing" is particularly important.

Retaining Essential Oils

Skin has natural oils that protect its moisture. Gentle cleansing that doesn't strip away too much of these oils is crucial.

Reducing Friction

Scrubbing vigorously with a towel can irritate the skin. After gently washing with lather, you can reduce friction by gently patting dry with a towel, as if wrapping the skin.

Taking Shorter Baths

Long baths can strip the skin of its moisturizing components. In particular, hot water above 40°C can excessively wash away the sebum film and impair the barrier function.
The tight feeling your skin experiences after bathing is due to this loss of moisturizing components. Taking shorter baths with lukewarm water can also help combat dryness.

All-in-One Shampoo Bar + Oil Serum Combination

The combination of an all-in-one shampoo bar and oil serum is ideal for spring skincare.

 

Gentle Cleansing with an All-in-One Shampoo Bar

A gentle formula safe enough for babies. It doesn't strip away essential oils and can be used to wash hair, face, and body—all with just one product. As an all-in-one shampoo that doesn't require conditioner, it also shortens bath time.

Moisturizing with SAKI Oil Serum

After bathing, apply SAKI Oil Serum to damp skin. By layering sake lees extract and argan oil, rich in beauty and moisturizing ingredients, on top of moisturized skin, it locks in moisture and prevents dryness. It also helps nurture the skin's barrier function, leading to healthier skin.

Just This for Face and Body

SAKI Oil Serum is also an all-in-one product for hair, face, and body. Your post-bath skincare routine can be completed with just this one product.

A Moisturizing Routine Completed in the Bath

From during the bath to after, the entire moisturizing care routine is completed in one continuous flow. This is also recommended for parents who have little time for their own care, or for those who find multi-step routines bothersome.

During Bath: Gentle Cleansing

One product for hair, face, and body. Lather generously and wash gently. Don't scrub; wash as if enveloping your skin in foam.

After Bath: Oil on Damp Skin

Before drying your body, apply SAKI Oil Serum to damp skin. The moisture and oil emulsify, allowing it to penetrate well into the skin.

Lightly Pat Dry and Finish

Then, gently pat your skin with a towel to remove excess water. The key is to pat gently, without rubbing.

Summary: Moisturizing Begins with Bathing

The most important aspect of dryness care is "conscious moisturizing from during the bath."

Applying body cream only after bathing cannot completely replenish the moisturizing components lost during the washing stage.

Gently cleansing with an all-in-one shampoo bar and moisturizing with SAKI Oil Serum. This simple routine protects your skin from dryness.

Even without doing anything special, your daily bath can become a moisturizing routine. That's the secret to sustainable dryness care.

Why not start a moisturizing routine that begins with bathing?
