"Mask burn" and rough skin care "Countermeasures regardless of gender or age"

The 21st is the "summer solstice" of the 24th solar term, which is the longest day of the year.

It's been hot and humid these days in Tokyo and elsewhere.

When UV rays are strong, experts need "care" to prevent "mask burning" that leaves behind the mask when the mask is removed outdoors and rough skin due to long-term wearing, regardless of gender or generation. I point out that.

Last month, the government announced the government's thinking about wearing a mask as a countermeasure against the new corona, and even if it is not possible to secure a distance from the people around it outdoors, it is not necessary to wear it if there is almost no conversation. It is said that.

People who are worried about the "mask burn" that remains after the mask when the mask is removed outdoors and the rough skin caused by wearing it for a long time are attracting interest in sunscreen and skin care products. increase.

Of these, about 600 types of men's cosmetics and parasols are sold at the general stores in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and sales of parasols are strong.

In addition, creams that make rough skin less noticeable and have the effect of correcting skin color are also popular.

In addition, even if it is sold as a product for men, it is popular with women, and the number of cases where the product is shared with family and lovers is increasing, so it is possible to take measures against sunburn regardless of gender or age. It is said that the awareness of is increasing.

A male office worker in his 40s who visited the store said, "I'm sweating this season, so I came to look for a non-greasy lotion. I tend to choose by brand, but my skin is weak, so I want to look at the ingredients and take proper care." I was talking.

Chikage Takeo, director of Yoyogiuehara Dermatology Clinic in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, said, "Even during the rainy season, the amount of UV rays will increase from May to August, so please take measures against sunburn now. As a result, the aging of the skin progresses steadily, so it is important to get into the habit of taking measures as soon as possible regardless of gender or generation. Applying sunscreen to the skin that has been covered with a mask leads to skin troubles. It is an effective measure to make good use of a mask that has a UV blocking effect. I think there will be more opportunities to remove the mask, but I would like you to take measures on a daily basis so that you can remove the mask at any time. "
