When the skin is exhausted due to weather
Have you ever looked in the mirror and realized that your skin was no longer fresh during changing weather? According to dermatologist Pooja Chopra (Aakash Healthcare, India), this phenomenon is called "ather fatigue", a natural reaction of the skin to changes in temperature, humidity and air quality.
The skin is a living organ that reacts directly to the environment. When the weather turns from moist to dry, the skin's barrier weakens, causing dehydration, easily irritation and loss of color," Chopra explained.
Common manifestations of tired skin include: gray appearance, dry skin, increased sensitivity, uneven skin tone, and poor resilience. All of this comes from the damage to the skin's lipid layer, which is the reason why the usual moisturizer is no longer as effective as before.
Causes and ways to regain skin's radiance
Experts say that in addition to weather changes, air pollution and UV rays are also the culprits that cause skin to quickly turn dark. These factors create free radicals, breaking down collagen and elastin, two proteins that maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
To recover, Dr. Pooja Chopra recommends applying seasonal skin care steps:
Gently exfoliate: Helps remove old corneas, supporting the regeneration of new cells.
deeply moisturize: Use a cream containing hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated.
Antioxidants: Supplementing vitamin C or E helps reduce damage caused by UV rays and pollution.
Adjust your product seasonally: Milder in the summer and thicker in the winter.
Finally, the expert emphasized: Listening to your skin is the key. Each season, the skin needs different care to maintain balance and vitality."
In the context of increasingly extreme weather and climate change, understanding the "fared skin" situation not only helps you maintain a radiant appearance but is also a way to protect the skin's long-term health.
