GATSBY's secret How to choose the right product Know your skin type How to wash your face FAQ
Why does your skin feel tight and stiff after washing your face?
To prevent the evaporation of moisture, human skin is equipped with the mechanism of creating a thin layer of protection on its surface, produced from a mixture of sebum from the sebaceous glands and sweat from the sweat glands. The barrier effect of sebum normally stops your skin from feeling tight and stiff. However, as you can see from the picture on the right, sebum is washed off when you wash your face, so you get the feeling that your skin surface is tight and stiff. This is how you have a stiff sensation after washing your face, having a bath or shaving. Another thing that can cause tightness and stiffness after washing is the adhering of the cleansing agent onto your skin and remaining there even after rinsing. GATSBY Facial Wash Series contains “adhesion guard factor” that helps prevent the cleansing agent from sticking onto your skin. This is a content formulation that makes it less likely for your skin to feel stiff (See diagram right). Skin after using conventional facial wash
So how can we prevent the tightness and stiffness of skin after face washing?
To prevent your skin from feeling tight and stiff after washing your face, it’s important to use a facial wash with an after-wash anti-tightness function. Although you need a certain level of cleansing power to remove oil and dirt, if the cleansing is too strong or if you use it wrongly, more sebum than necessary will get removed and create a tight stiffness of sensation after you wash your face. Then, even if you are careful in choosing your facial wash agent, the skin tends to lack moisture after washing, which makes you feel tight and stiff sometimes. You will need to use skincare lotion or a similar product to replenish moisture. If you just put ordinary water onto your skin, it does not blend in and just evaporates. That’s why you need to use skincare lotion. Still, some people want “to remove oil and dirt properly” so want to use powerful cleansers and rub their faces vigorously. Even if you’re one of these people, if you use skincare lotion to re-hydrate your skin after washing your face, you can prevent tightness and stiffness. Skin after using GATSBY Facial Wash Series
