Dry Skin in Air-Conditioned Rooms, Here's the Solution

Dream - An air-conditioned room will feel very comfortable in the summer. Especially if you enter the room after activities under the hot sun. Unfortunately, being in an air-conditioned room is not always good for your health.

The use of AC can reduce the humidity in the room, which eventually causes your skin to become dry and dehydrated. According to Skincare.com, using AC can also make your skin dull, experience hyperpigmentation, and premature aging, such as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dermatologist, Nazanin Saedi, recommends using moisturizer regularly in the summer if you often stay in an air-conditioned room to maintain skin moisture.

She suggests choosing a moisturizer that contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or both. "Ceramides can strengthen the skin barrier and hyaluronic acid can maintain skin moisture," she explained.

Also, choose oil-free, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and gel-textured products for more comfort when used on the skin before and after activities.

Sunscreen Hard to Absorb into the Skin? Pay Attention to These 6 Things

Dream - Although highly recommended, many people are still reluctant to use sunscreen, let alone apply it every two hours. Understandably, sunscreen can feel sticky when applied.

Sunscreen can also alter the color of the skin to a grayish tone. In addition, sunscreen can clump and leave residue. It seems like the product is difficult to absorb into the skin.

Clumping or peeling of newly applied sunscreen is called sunscreen pilling. The causes are quite diverse and vary from person to person.

Of course, this can be overcome so that you can still use sunscreen while going about your activities. Here are some tips from Dermatologist Dian Pratiwi to prevent sunscreen pilling.

1. Controlling the Use of Products

Sunscreen pilling can be caused by using too much product with a thick consistency. As a result, the sunscreen is difficult to absorb into the skin and clumps or flakes.

Control the use of skincare products and use lighter skincare formulas for a comfortable and easy application of sunscreen.

2. Paying Attention to the Ingredients in Sunscreen

The ingredients in sunscreen can also cause pilling or flaking. Try to avoid using sunscreens that contain silicones such as dimethicone, amodimethicone, or cyclomethicone, as well as xanthan gum. Choose a sunscreen with a more liquid texture and smaller particles for easy absorption into the skin.

3. Using Products in the Correct Order

Using products in the wrong order can render skincare, including sunscreen, ineffective. Use products with the most liquid consistency to the thickest consistency.

Usually, sunscreen has the thickest consistency. Therefore, sunscreen is almost always used as the last step in the skincare routine.

4. Ensuring Proper Absorption of Products Before Applying Other Skincare

Not waiting for skincare products to fully absorb before applying other products will make your skincare routine ineffective.

Allow the products to fully absorb before applying other skincare products. Usually, skincare products require 50-60 seconds to absorb into the skin and can be layered with other products, including sunscreen.

5. Applying Sunscreen by Patting

Regular exfoliation can prevent the buildup of dead skin cells and clogged pores. This allows skincare products to be more effective and easily absorbed.

You can exfoliate with a scrub or specific skincare products 1-2 times a week for a brighter, nourished face and more effective skincare application.
