Responding to this, Dermatologist, dr. M. Akbar Wedyadhana, Sp.KK FINSDV, FAADV said, for people who don't take care of their skin, they can start with basic skincare. This is the first step to caring for skin amidst changing weather compared to treatments such as lasers or injections.
“In my opinion, those who haven't started yet should start doing intensive skin care, which means you don't need to talk about advanced measures such as lasers or injections, but using the right and good skincare that can be effective is enough,” said Dr. Akbar at the Aesthetic Xtracare Interbat event 'The World's First Ionic Skincare System, Tuesday (20/2/2024).
Meanwhile, Dr. Akbar suggests starting by choosing basic skincare regularly, starting from washing your face, moisturizing, to using sunscreen. However, this often becomes a problem due to improper use.
Moreover, currently there are many content creators who provide education on inappropriate use of skincare. This makes the skincare used less than optimal. For this reason, Dr. Akbar suggests seeking information from trusted sources regarding the proper and correct use of skincare.
“If we look at social media, there is a lot of education, but there is still a lot that is not quite right. So customers and viewers are confused about which one to follow. So, for example, using sunscreen, one says what one says. For this reason, things like this must be paid attention to. “In the past, we got information from doctors, but now it can also be accessed from social media,” explained Dr. Akbar.
By knowing how to use skincare correctly, this will help protect your skin in uncertain weather. However, if you use skincare but your skin doesn't change, this indicates something is wrong.
“For example, if you use sunscreen, the dose is 1 teaspoon. For example, if you wear it all the time to go to the beach but it's still black, it means you're wearing it wrong because it's thin so the sun still shines through. “So it's quite a lot, that's the arrangement,” he said.
Thus, to protect your face in the midst of uncertain weather, you need to choose good and suitable skincare. However, this must also be followed by correct use. This will help maximize skincare use and maintain healthy skin.
“Use products that repair the skin's defense system barrier and regenerate it for new skin. Because it is related to weather and climate, the skin becomes damaged. “So it must be compensated and must be balanced with the best care,” concluded Dr. Akbar.
