Days when you feel off from the morning, reasons why your skin is unstable - It's okay, there is a real reason

Even though I'm taking good care of it...
Somehow, I'm just not feeling my best today

I haven't changed my cosmetics
and I haven't done anything special

Don't you have days where you think,
"Why just today?"

Today's skin log (May 9th)
☁️☀️ Cloudy then sunny
💧 Humidity is a bit high, atmospheric pressure is changing
🌡️ The temperature isn't that low, but it's easy to feel a bit heavy and sluggish
🤧 It's settling down, but those who are sensitive should be ⚠️

💆‍♀️ Today's reality (common concerns at the salon)

Today at the salon, too,

"My body has felt heavy since this morning..."
"I just can't seem to shake this sluggishness"
"My face looks swollen and dull"
"It feels dry, but also sticky at the same time"

It was a day with many such comments.

During this season of continuous changes in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure,
your autonomic nervous system is prone to instability.

When that happens, blood flow and circulation tend to drop,

・Swelling
・Dullness
・Dryness
・Skin roughness

which can easily show up on your skin.

"I'm taking good care of it, but I'm still having issues..."

On days like that,
it's okay not to blame just your skin 🌿

👉 On days like this,
it's often "not just a skin problem"

🔍 The cause

What is related is
"instability of the autonomic nervous system"

When your autonomic nervous system is disrupted by atmospheric pressure or stress,

・Decreased blood flow
・Disrupted turnover
・Decreased barrier function

it easily leads to these issues.

Also related is

👉 "Oxytocin (the happiness hormone)"

When stress continues
・Reduced blood flow
・Disrupted turnover
・Decreased barrier function

👉 Result
It becomes easier for dullness, dryness, and instability to appear

Conversely
Oxytocin, which is secreted when you are relaxed

✔ Suppresses stress hormones (cortisol)
✔ Balances the autonomic nervous system
✔ Supports blood flow

👉 Works to "balance the skin environment from the inside"

Furthermore
👉 "Serotonin (the stability hormone)" is also involved

By calming your feelings
and creating a sense of security
it supports a "state that is less prone to instability"

✨ This is important

Touching gently
and time spent slowly with someone who makes you feel secure
(time with pets is one such example)

👉 A sense of security is born
and you naturally enter a relaxed state

"What are you looking at?"
"What are you feeling?"

In that way
a non-verbal conversation is born

👉 This "time to face each other slowly"
becomes time to balance your mind and skin

💭 What to do on days like this?

・Don't add too much to your skincare
・Use care that involves gentle touch
・Make time to spend slowly

👉 A day to prioritize balancing

🌿 Sakurako's point

Skin is
👉 External care + internal state

It is balanced by this combination

On days when you feel off from the morning
your body is already giving you signs

On such days

✔ Rather than pushing yourself
✔ Relax

This is the answer.

🤍Today's recharge

・Take a deep breath and spend time slowly
・Relax with a warm drink
・Create time where you feel at ease

👉This "time for conversation"
becomes the foundation for balancing your skin.

💬A quick word

It's okay.
There is a real reason.
Please make some time to relax a little today.

Days when you don't have to try too hard
are also necessary.😊🌿

"The power to balance" is within you.✨

Thank you for reading this far.😊

If you'd like, please let me know with a like as a sign of empathy, like "I get it..."🫶

If you have any concerns about your skin,
please feel free to comment.☺️
I would be happy if we could gently balance it together.🕊️
