THIỆN NHÂN (T/H) |

Using too much air conditioners can easily cause dry, dehydrated and damaged skin, so you need to know how to take care of it properly to protect your skin's health.

According to Dr. Karishma Balani, Dermatologist at Synovacare, Bandra (India), air conditioners are an indispensable device in many families and workplaces, especially during hot summer days. However, overuse or long-term use of conditioners can cause negative effects on skin health that many people often do not notice, according to Onlymyhealth.

Causes of negative skin effects by regulation

The cold air from the air conditioner is very dry, because the cooling process reduces the humidity in the room.

When moisture decreases, the water in the skin's Decemberomach is sucked out, causing dehydration and drying out the skin.

Prolonged low temperatures slow down subcutaneous blood circulation, causing skin cells to not be provided with enough nutrients and oxygen.

As a result, the skin becomes dull, lifeless and more vulnerable.

Specific effects of conditioning on the skin

Dry, cracked, peeling skin, especially in the hands, feet and face due to dehydration and weak skin protective layer.

The skin is easily irritated and redness because it becomes more sensitive when losing moisture, easily reacting to dirt, chemicals or cosmetics.

Acne and pores are clogged due to irregular sebum activity, causing dermatitis or acne.

award-colored, less firm skin due to poor blood circulation, lack of nutrients and reduced elasticity.

People with sensitive skin or skin diseases such as eczema are more susceptible to flare-ups or get worse when using a lot of air conditioners.

How to protect your skin when using air conditioners

Maintain humidity: Use a humidifier or place a small water bottle in a air conditioning room to balance humidity.

Drink enough water: Provide enough water for the body to help the skin maintain moisture from within, at least 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day.

Use the right moisturizer: Choose moisturizing products with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramide to deeply hydrate and restore the skin's protective layer.

Adjust the regulating temperature appropriately: You should keep the regulating temperature at 24 - 26 degrees Celsius, avoid leaving it too cold, causing damage to the skin and other health problems.

Limit staying in a conditioned room for a long time: Occasionally, you should go outside or open the door for outside air to enter, to prevent your skin from getting squidged and too dry.

Proper skin care: Clean your skin gently, avoid products containing alcohol or strong fragrances that cause irritation when the skin is dry and sensitive.

When to see a dermatologist?

If you notice signs of dry skin, itching, rash, acne or dermatitis that do not improve despite proper care, or have signs of cracked, bleeding, take the initiative to see a dermatologist for appropriate advice and treatment.
