At the time of season change, although the climate conditions in early spring are conducive to metabolism and physical recovery, and are known as the "golden period of medical beauty", it is a high-incidence stage for "spring allergy stars". Many friends have a blush on their faces when they return from flower viewing, as if they have their own "blush", which is a typical manifestation of spring skin sensitivity.

In order to allow everyone to travel confidently and beautifully this spring, today we will comprehensively analyze the "spring allergy" phenomenon to help everyone safely get through this special period.

SKIN SENSITIVITY

Spring sensitivity is not allergic

Sensitivity: a manifestation of decreased skin immunity and resistance, mostly caused by the accumulation of improper acquired skin care, such as excessive exfoliation, using too strong cleansing milk, etc., which destroy the skin barrier function and make the skin highly intolerant.

Allergy: an oversensitive reaction of the body's immune system to certain specific harmless substances. It is an allergic reaction involving the immune system. After allergens such as pollen, food, and drugs come into contact with the human body, the immune system will identify them as foreign harmful substances and initiate an immune response, releasing substances such as histamine, thereby causing symptoms such as skin redness, itching, pain, urticaria, eczema, etc., which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

DEFINITION

Definition of Spring Allergy

Spring allergy refers to the skin's resistance to allergies in spring, which occurs after the skin has experienced seasonal changes, due to drastic and unstable climate conditions and increased ultraviolet intensity, resulting in a decrease in skin resistance.

Spring allergy is not an allergy in the traditional sense, but a manifestation of skin sensitivity. It is an emergency response caused by the skin not fully adapting to the changes brought about by the change of seasons, mainly caused by damaged skin barrier function and reduced tolerance.

CAUSATION

Causes of Spring Sensitivity

1. Skin Water Loss

Blood vessels dilate, and skin water evaporates faster; and when the temperature is low, in order to maintain normal blood supply and body temperature, the body's capillaries will also dilate, further exacerbating water loss. This repeated loss of water will damage the skin barrier function, leading to skin dehydration, which in turn causes skin sensitivity and allergies.

2. Enhanced ultraviolet rays

The temperature rises in spring, the environmental humidity changes greatly, and the intensity of ultraviolet rays gradually increases. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause skin melanin deposition, causing allergic symptoms such as skin darkening, erythema, and peeling, further damaging the skin barrier function and reducing skin tolerance.

3. Increased allergens

Spring is the season of revival of all things, bacteria and other microorganisms begin to become active, and allergenic factors increase significantly, such as pollen, animal and plant dust, etc. In addition, eating photosensitive foods (such as certain vegetables and fruits) may also increase the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. At this time, the skin barrier function is relatively weak and it is difficult to resist external stimuli, so it is more likely to induce allergic reactions.

4. Sebaceous gland secretion and immune disorder

With the rise in spring temperature and the gradual acceleration of human metabolism, the secretion function of sebaceous glands is enhanced, and the oil secretion on the skin surface increases. At this time, the microecological balance of the skin is easily broken, resulting in damage to the skin barrier function, which in turn makes the skin in a more sensitive state. In addition, irregular eating and resting habits will further interfere with the body's endocrine balance and immune system function, leading to immune disorders, thereby increasing the skin's sensitivity to allergens and inducing allergic reactions.

PERFORMANCE

Symptoms of spring allergy

1. Common symptoms of spring allergy

Skin redness, itching, and tingling are obvious: The skin's tolerance to external stimuli is reduced, and local or diffuse erythema is prone to occur, accompanied by itching and tingling.

Skin dryness and strong tightness: The skin barrier function is damaged, and the ability to retain water is reduced, resulting in dryness and tightness of the stratum corneum.

Increased acne and significant peeling: The strong sebum secretion and damaged skin barrier work together to cause skin metabolism disorders, acne, desquamation and other problems.

Redness, papules or small rashes on the skin: The microvessels of the skin dilate, and diffuse or localized erythema appears, accompanied by papules or small rashes.

TREATMENT

Treatment of spring allergy

1. Red and blue light repair treatment

Red light has anti-inflammatory and repair effects, which can promote the disappearance of skin inflammation; blue light has soothing and calming functions, which can effectively improve skin sensitivity and relieve itching and tingling.

2. Photorejuvenation

Through selective photothermal effect, stimulate the production of skin collagen, improve skin redness, red bloodshot and other problems, while enhancing the skin barrier function and improving skin tolerance.

3. Water light needle treatment

By injecting hyaluronic acid, deep hydration of the skin is improved to improve dryness and peeling symptoms. In addition, water light needles containing repairing ingredients, such as polydeoxyribose (PDRN), trehalose, etc., can be selected to enhance the skin's moisturizing ability and resistance.

PREVENTION

Prevention of Spring Allergy

The skin's ability to lock in moisture decreases in spring, so it is necessary to strengthen hydration and moisturizing measures to replenish the moisture lost in the stratum corneum, repair the skin barrier function, and maintain the skin's hydration.

Choose mild, non-irritating cleansing products such as amino acids to thoroughly clean dust and dirt on the skin surface. Avoid using care methods that may damage the skin barrier, such as steaming, massage, and exfoliation.

Reduce direct sunlight, choose a combination of physical and chemical sunscreens to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin. After using sunscreen, you need to pay attention to thorough cleaning at night, and do a good job of skin management and maintenance.

Maintain a regular schedule and try to reduce staying up late; avoid eating spicy, irritating or photosensitive foods. Lack of sleep or excessive stress may lead to a decrease in skin immunity, making the skin more fragile and sensitive.
