A special solution to restore skin health
A 14-day challenge for health and for health!
As you get older, 000 decreases!
A 14-day journey to restore the reduced 000
Three challengers visited Im E-seok Thema Dermatology for the 14-day challenge.
Challenger A was concerned about dry skin and facial flushing caused by lack of moisture, Challenger B complained of allergic symptoms that made the skin itch whenever exposed to sunlight, and Challenger C was worried about skin aging, so they took on Alyakbang’s 14-day challenge.
A comprehensive skin condition and skin age test was conducted, including wrinkles, moisture, dead skin cells, and skin tone.
What were the results?
. . .
After examining Challenger B, it was noted that patients with sun allergies need even more careful protection.
When exposed to ultraviolet rays, the skin first becomes dull and wrinkles form more easily.
The results for Challenger A showed a significant loss of moisture, so more attention to moisturizing seems necessary.
The results for Challenger C showed reduced firmness around the eyes, and as the skin gradually sagged, fat-like tissue seemed to shift downward, causing many wrinkles.
"What is the solution to skin concerns that deepen with age?"
. . .
When menopause begins, women’s female hormones decline.
When estrogen and other hormones drop, the skin can become dull and lose elasticity,
and aging progresses more quickly overall.
That is why you need to pay even more attention to your skin during menopause.
Challenger A, who had moisture loss and facial flushing, had a lifestyle in which, after menopause, heat would rise in the face and itching and dryness became severe. She frequently sprayed mist, washed her face until it squeaked with just soap even after applying makeup, finished skincare with only baby lotion, and enjoyed eating convenient foods such as bunsik and noodles. Is this really okay?
Mist feels nice when you spray it, but as that moisture evaporates, the moisture in your skin evaporates with it. By applying a moisturizing cream or similar product over the area, you can help prevent moisture loss.
If you scrub too hard while washing your face, the skin barrier can be damaged.
Because dead skin cells are removed artificially, the skin may become weaker as a result, and redness, pigmentation, and wrinkles can also appear. This can worsen skin aging, so a harsh scrubbing cleansing method is not something you should do for the sake of your skin.
Flour, which promotes skin aging through the glycation process, is an ingredient you should avoid when caring for your skin.
Challenger B, who suffered from severe itching due to sun allergy
As menopause and menopause-related changes came on, sun allergy symptoms appeared. Challenger B said that whenever the skin itched, she used a cooling analgesic patch to make the itchy area feel refreshed. Is this really okay?
She said she used it because it felt slightly cool when applied, but the ingredients from the cooling analgesic patch can actually be absorbed and irritate the skin.
Usually, when dermatitis develops, the skin barrier is often already broken. If you apply a cooling analgesic patch to an area where the skin barrier is damaged, the skin can become more irritated and the dermatitis may worsen. If you have dermatitis and it itches, do not apply a cooling analgesic patch; instead, find the cause and receive a prescribed ointment or medication appropriate for that cause.
What causes the skin aging that appears with menopause?
Skin begins aging from the early 20s, and collagen in particular decreases!
To prevent collagen deficiency, you should eat foods that contain collagen.
More important than collagen intake is sun protection.
If you are exposed to a lot of sunlight, collagen undergoes denaturation, so you need to block UV exposure.
Taking vitamin C and antioxidants may help prevent aging.
. . .
The challengers’ lifestyle habits were changed!
As a result of the tests, their skin age decreased by 1 to 2 years~
By consistently applying sunscreen and drinking plenty of water, firmness gradually improved, and skin moisture and pigmentation also seemed to improve.
When the skin is well-hydrated, wrinkles and sagging also improve, so it seems that various skin conditions improved as well.
If you want to prevent skin aging through proper skincare habits in daily life, and if aging has progressed too much to manage on your own, visit a dermatologist for consultation and treatment to help prevent skin aging!
