Night Care Methods by Age, as Introduced by Im E Seok Thema Dermatology

Night Care Methods by Age

Hello. This is Im E Seok Thema Dermatology Clinic.

Today, we would like to explain care methods that can be focused on according to age, divided by age group, to help maintain healthy skin.

Skin must be cared for consistently in order to maintain good skin for a long time.

The teen years are an important period for managing acne and skin problems.

In particular, puberty is a time when hormone secretion and metabolism are active, so excessive sebum production often causes skin problems such as acne. Academic stress, lack of sleep, frequent consumption of instant foods, and lack of exercise can all have a negative effect on the skin.

For teen night care, it is a good idea to do whitening care that removes the outermost dead skin layer.

It is advisable to use basic skincare products such as toner, lotion, and essence in a whitening line as part of night care, and once a week, use a pack containing AHA ingredients to refine skin texture. In addition, using a toner that contains alcohol can provide an immediate cleansing effect and toning effect for the skin. Teenagers should usually avoid oil-heavy cosmetics and, along with using a mild neutral or slightly acidic cleanser, pay attention to moisturizing according to their skin type with a refreshing moisturizing lotion.

The 20s are an important period in which the skin still has elasticity, but care should be taken in advance before aging begins.

Since this is also an age group that wears makeup almost every day, the importance of cleansing is emphasized. It is good to focus on removing makeup by using cleansing oil and cleansing foam, and to use nighttime pore-care products to suppress sebum production that occurs at night.

To open clogged pores, gently exfoliate about twice a week to remove blackheads, which can help with pore care.

The 30s are a period when skin elasticity declines, so the focus should be on anti-aging.

At the final stage of skincare, use packs and cooling packs to tighten pores and focus more on moisturizing the skin. If the skin lacks moisture, the complexion becomes duller, so when applying skincare, it is necessary to soak a cotton pad sufficiently with toner and wipe it over the skin, and to consistently apply a moisturizing essence or cream. Whenever your face feels dry, it is good to spray a face mist frequently.

In your 40s and beyond, overall skin elasticity around the mouth and eyes begins to decline, and from your 50s onward, the epidermis becomes thinner and moisture loss through the skin increases, making the skin even drier and more sensitive. This is a time when comprehensive anti-aging care is needed, and because the skin's regenerative power is reduced, dark spots and blemishes that appear once do not easily go away. The ability to tighten pores weakens, so the skin can feel dry all the time, and as the skin sags, the pores in the loosened areas may appear larger. Sagging, dry skin causes pores to stretch, so it is important to use functional anti-aging basic products, nourishing creams, essences, and similar products sufficiently. It is important to minimize the cleansing steps so as not to strip the skin of its oil and moisture.

It is also effective to focus on night care and massage the facial muscles. Age spots and blemishes will not naturally disappear just by leaving them alone. Therefore, the best approach is to remove them fundamentally, and after an accurate diagnosis at a dermatology clinic, they can be removed using laser treatment.

Ultimately, when caring for facial skin, the most important thing is properly balancing moisture and oil. In particular, to create resilient skin, how you care for your skin at night is important.

It is also a good idea to develop necessary lifestyle habits.

Before going to bed, you should avoid salty foods and alcohol. The sodium in salty foods and the alcohol in drinks draw in moisture and increase swelling in the body. If swelling becomes severe, lymph fluid in the body may not be properly drained, which can cause facial puffiness and make the skin look dull, so caution is needed.

Also, keeping the angle of your pillow at 45 degrees while sleeping helps moisture move downward, which can help prevent facial swelling. At night, because you are free from external irritants, it is easier to recover the skin than during the day.
