Party Season And The Skin Dermatologist Top Tips

 

Introduction

We all want our skin to be cent perfect, especially when talking about outings, whether for parties or any special occasion. However, in the cold season and overconsumption of alcohol and alcohol-based sanitisers may lead to dryness of the skin. So, it becomes tough to keep the skin adequately moisturised, especially in cold seasons. Dry skin may cause damage to the uppermost layer of the skin. Furthermore, prolonged dryness of the skin may result in eczema, and excessive dryness can also cause disease activation, redness, cracking, and inflammation.

Major Skin Concerns And Their Causes

Following are some of the major skin concerns and their causes:

  • Wrinkles: Wrinkles result from shrivelled plump skin cells resulting in premature fine lines. It is the most common condition that occurs with increasing age and due to less intake of water. It can be treated by taking plenty of water and moisturising wrinkled skin to provide it with sufficient hydration.
  • Toning: It is the process to treat uneven tone of skin. It can be achieved by using toner, serum, and lotion products. In addition, it helps to maintain the pH balance of the skin.
  • Hyperpigmentation: This term is used to describe dark regions of skin. It is a harmless condition in which skin becomes darker in certain areas. It can be cured by using cosmetic preparations and topical creams, and specific home remedies are also helpful.
  • Acne: In acne, oils and dead skin cells get plugged in the base of the hair follicle. It is caused when there is access to oil over the skin for a long time. Antibiotics and antiseptics, taken as per the recommendation of the dermatologist, may help in curing acne.
  • Cracking: It is caused mainly due to lack of moisture in the skin. And other reasons for cracking includes scratches, physical damage, wear and tear. Skin moisturising helps to prevent and treat cracking.
  • Inflammation: Generally, the term dermatitis is used to express this condition. It may include rashes and itching. It can be cured by avoiding wet clothes for a long time and using mild soap.
  • Eczema: In this condition, skin becomes dry, red, itchy, and bumpy, due to which the barrier layer of skin is damaged. The skin becomes more sensitive and prone to infections. For overcoming this condition, we should use a humidifier, moisturisers, and skin products containing ceramide.

Some Major Tips Advised By Dermatologists For Skincare In Party Season

  • Avoid alcohol and party food consumption: As the peak days of the party, the season is going on, try to avoid alcohol consumption as it might give you the pleasure of a moment but will act harshly on your skin. Try to avoid consuming junk food, sugar-rich food, and foods that are loaded with cheese and oils. Drink plenty of water to counteract the party food's effect on your skin. Also, make sure to add foods rich in antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables, to your diet. Increase consumption of good fats such as coconut, avocado, and olive oil.
  • Don't forget to remove makeup: if it is a late-night party, then make sure that you remove your makeup and clean your face and other surfaces properly before going to bed. Do not go too harsh on your skin to remove makeup. Instead, try to put it off gently using water.
  • Don't ever forget to take a sound sleep: Always try to get a quality sleep of around 8 hours daily. It will allow your skin cells to repair and regenerate themselves. However, a lack of quality sleep for a long time may lead to stress. Lack of sleep and an increased amount of stress cause a rising level of cortisol that is very important for your skin. Increased levels for a long time may lead to premature skin ageing.
  • Ensure that your skin should glow: In the cold, dry season, skin becomes dry but can be overcome by adding lightweight hyaluronic acid serum.
  • Try to avoid hot showers: Taking hot showers in cold seasons is very common and feels heavenly, but at the same time, it takes up the moisture from the skin. So try to keep it as short as possible.

Conclusion

As the party season is going on, we should enjoy the parties but at the same time should also take care of our skin. Taking care of skin is not that difficult as it just needs a little bit of change in our daily lives.
