? ☀ ️ When summer arrives, your face is like opening a "small kitchen": shiny face, enlarged pores, melting makeup... What's even more frightening is that the high temperature is quietly hurting your skin barrier!

Recently, I received a lot of fans asking for help: "Blogger, what should I do if I get red and hot as soon as I go out?", "Is it an illusion that my skin becomes particularly sensitive in summer?" Today I'm going to tell you: this is not an illusion! High temperature is indeed the "invisible killer" of skin!

? Scientific Truth: How does heat harm skin?

Three major culprits of heat injury:

1. Telangiectasia: For every 1 ℃ increase in temperature, sebum secretion increases by 10%
2. Decreased barrier function: sweat evaporates and takes away a lot of water
3. Free radical explosion: ultraviolet rays + high temperature produce double oxidative pressure

Amazing data:

· The amount of skin oil produced at 35 ℃ is 3 times that at 25 ℃
· After 15 minutes of exposure to the sun, the skin temperature can reach 42 ℃ (the critical point of burn!)
· The probability of skin sensitivity in hot weather increases by 47%

? Self-test: Is your skin "heatstroke"?

✅ It turns red and hot as soon as you enter the air-conditioned room
✅ In the afternoon, the makeup is mottled, and the T-zone is flooded with oil
✅ Skin care products have tingling sensation on the face
✅ Unprecedented red bloodshot
✅ The skin is tight after cleansing, but soon becomes oily again

More than 2 strips, your skin is issuing a high temperature warning!

 

? Three-level protection: creating a high-temperature skin care system

Level 1: Physical cooling (immediate effect)

Level 2: Skin care adjustment (repair + protection)

Day Protection Combination:

1. Refreshing antioxidant essence (vitamin C derivative + ferulic acid)

Copper peptide: promotes collagen regeneration

❌ Skin care taboos in hot days

STOP

Special reminder:
