Even though I'm taking precautions... The reason why my forehead breaks out
Even though I'm taking good care of it...
Why does only my forehead break out?
Don't you ever feel that way?
🗓 Today's skin log (4/29)
・Weather: Sunny ☀️
・Temperature: Warm (a bit hot) 🌡️
・Humidity: Slightly high 💧
・UV rays: Strong ⚠️
🙋♀️ The reality before Golden Week (common concerns at the salon)
What I saw most often was...
・Bumps on the forehead
・Redness at the hairline
・Dry, flaky skin that just won't heal
This trouble is very noticeable in people who wear hats for UV protection.
This trouble is very noticeable.
😌 It was fine in the morning, but
I felt something was off after going outside...
Don't you have days like that?
🔍 The cause is "sweat + stuffiness + friction"
Skin trouble at this time of year
is often triggered by "sweat."
When you sweat...
・Components like salt and ammonia can irritate the skin,
leading to redness and itching
・As it evaporates, it takes the skin's moisture with it,
leaving it prone to dryness
・Skin softened by sweat is more susceptible to friction,
making it easier for damage to accumulate
👉 This accumulation
can be the cause of bumps and inflammation.
Wearing a hat for UV protection is very important.
However, at this time of year...
・You're prone to sweating due to rising temperatures
・The inside of your hat gets stuffy easily
・Friction occurs easily at the hairline
These types of environments tend to overlap.
Furthermore, when you sweat, your skin temporarily shifts to an alkaline state, making it easier for bacteria to multiply.
👉 As a result, this easily leads to inflammation such as redness and bumps.
🫧 What to do on days like this?
・Do not leave sweat on your skin (blot it lightly or wipe it off gently)
・Do not scrub vigorously; pat gently instead
👉 One recommendation here is reset care using a "weakly acidic mist (prep mist)".
After sweating, your skin is in a state where it easily shifts to an alkaline state temporarily.
If you leave it as is, it easily leads to dryness and skin irritation.
By gently conditioning it with a mist, it becomes easier for your skin to return to its natural balance, and subsequent moisturizing will absorb more easily.
🫧 Tips for use
・After blotting away sweat, spray lightly over the entire face
・Gently blend it in with your palms
👉 This is a simple care routine you can do even when you are out.
・Reset your skin as soon as possible after returning home
・After bathing, moisturize thoroughly to strengthen your skin barrier
👉 A surprisingly common case is "washing the forehead but not reaching the hairline".
Since this is an area where sweat and dirt easily remain, the key is to "wash gently as if blending it in".
・Continue UV protection (using a hat and sunscreen together is recommended)
・Be conscious of not rubbing (especially be careful with the hairline and forehead)
⚠️ "Breaking out even though I'm protecting it" is a common occurrence this time of year
🌿 Sakurako's points
Trouble caused by sweat is not a "bad thing," but rather a "sign that your skin is reacting to the environment"
Just by gently balancing it, your skin will calm down properly.
🌿 A quick word
Sometimes, what you think is protecting your skin can actually be irritating it without you realizing it.

◇ One tip for external care 🌿
On days when you are concerned about sweat or stuffiness, reset your skin as soon as you get home.
Just being conscious of "not letting it accumulate" by using lukewarm water and a gentle face wash makes a difference.
What I also recommend is incorporating a prep mist into your routine.
After washing your face, your skin is temporarily prone to becoming alkaline, but using a mist helps it return to a weakly acidic balance, making it easier for subsequent skincare to absorb.
It supports the barrier function while providing moisture, refining the texture for smoother skin.
👉 Just by "balancing before applying," you might find that your usual skincare feels different
