Symptoms of over-hydration of the skin

Girls all want their skin to be hydrated, bright and smooth, so they use various means to moisturize it. Water can make our skin look more elastic and has a better whitening effect, but excessive hydration may cause skin damage. Not only will it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it will also make the skin uglier, which is not worth the loss. So, what are the symptoms of overhydration in girls? How should it be solved?

1. Two major serious consequences

First, the rash.

The sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles swell after excessive water absorption, the channels are acutely blocked, and bulges form into rashes; if the sebum secretion is strong and cannot be discharged in time, the condition will worsen. It is most common in people who do water masks, over-apply facial masks, or frequently use sprays to moisturize their skin. It is more common and dense in the T-zone, with little obvious redness and little suppuration. If you mistakenly think it is acne and start using retinoic acid-based skin care products, it will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also aggravate the irritation and even cause allergies.

Second, the skin barrier is damaged

Repeated hydration will accelerate the shedding of the stratum corneum. Before the new skin stratum corneum is formed, the fragile epidermis is easily exposed to the outside. In haze air, the chance of direct contact with microorganisms and bacteria increases. If you frequently use skin-rejuvenating and whitening beauty products such as scrubs, lactic acid and fruit acid, you are particularly prone to symptoms such as redness and sensitivity.

How to prevent overhydration

If the skin care products you use are reliable, overhydration is entirely caused by your skin care habits. The method of replenishing water three times a day is not suitable for you.

3. Solve the problem of overhydration

3-step method

First, wait.

It takes time and patience. The stratum corneum is metabolized every 28 days on average, and only when a new stratum corneum grows out can the skin be repaired.

Second, raise

The pores are clogged and the skin feels rough. It needs deep cleansing, such as using an amino acid cleanser that does not irritate the skin to unclog the pores, and then apply a thin layer of lotion. Never stop moisturizing abruptly. If the pores are overhydrated and suddenly lose water, it will not only not function normally, but will aggravate skin dryness and be counterproductive.

Third, adjust

After the skin gradually improves, start using creams and masks containing Centella asiatica extract, coenzyme Q10, snow lotus extract and other ingredients. The cream can be used every day and the mask twice a week (depending on the skin condition) to regulate skin metabolism and further consolidate the skin that has just been repaired. After 2 to 3 months, your skin will return to normal. If the poisoning is too severe, it will take longer.
