The Reality of Summer Skin Troubles

As the temperature rises during the summer months of June to September, skin issues often accompany the heat, particularly for women aged 20 to 40. A recent survey conducted by Kracie Pharmaceutical Co., involving 600 women, found that 58.7% experienced skin troubles during this season. Among them, the most prevalent concern was acne and pimples, affecting 52.8% of respondents, followed by itching and irritation at 34.3% and redness at 34.1%.

Causes of Skin Problems

The primary reason cited for these skin troubles was excessive sweat and oil, with 63.4% noting this as their main issue. In contrast, while many women reported tackling these skin issues through skincare practices, such as moisturizing and cleansing (69.3%), a mere 21.6% turned to dietary supplements, and only 11.6% utilized oral medications, indicating a gap in awareness regarding internal care for skin health.

Lack of Awareness About Inner Dryness

Upon further inquiry regarding their knowledge of "Inner Dryness" (a condition where the skin surface appears oily but is dehydrated internally), 58.3% of women acknowledged they were not knowledgeable about it. Additionally, 27.3% had heard of it but were unsure if it applied to them, showing a significant need for education on this skin condition, particularly during summer.

Understanding Inner Dryness

Inner Dryness refers to a condition in which the skin appears oily due to surface oils while lacking adequate moisture underneath. Unlike normal oily skin, it results in a deceptive appearance where skin can feel dry internally yet look oily externally. This condition is often exacerbated by summer factors, including strong UV rays and dry air from air conditioning, leading to a compromised barrier function. When this happens, skin elasticity is lost, leading to flaky skin, redness, breakouts, or acne.

The Connection Between Inner Dryness and Skin Turnover

The skin undergoes a natural process called turnover, essential for maintaining skin health. Normally, new cells are generated in the lower layer of the epidermis, pushing older cells to the surface to be shed approximately every 28 days. However, when the skin is dehydrated, this process can be disrupted, leading to the accumulation of dead cells, resulting in skin issues such as acne and roughness. This correlation emphasizes the importance of addressing both outer and inner skin health to maintain a balanced turnover rate.

A Solution: Yokuiin (Job's Tears)

To combat Inner Dryness internally, Kracie Pharmaceutical suggests the use of Yokuiin, a traditional herbal remedy derived from the seeds of Job's Tears. Known for its ability to nourish the skin and promote hydration, Yokuiin supports the skin’s barrier function by enhancing moisture retention and facilitating healthy skin turnover. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce redness and irritation.
