JAKARTA - The skin can also experience fatigue, known as skin fatigue. This is a condition where the skin looks tired, dull, and loses its natural light.

The condition of the tired skin is caused by various factors. Starting from changes in weather, temperature, to quality from air.

"Factors such as changes in temperature, humidity, and air quality play an important role in this disturbance, which causes what we call skin fatigue," said dermatologist Dr. Chopra, quoted from Healthshots, on Friday, October 17, 2025.

There are several signs that indicate that the skin is experiencing fatigue, as follows.

- A dull appearance, where the light skin you once had seems to disappear. - Drought, skin feels strong or rough, even if you apply moisturizer regularly. - Increased sensitivity, usually can cause redness or irritation. - Bad skin color- Bad recovery, scratches or stains on the skin take longer to improve.

These signs occur because the lipid layer has been damaged. The layer works to help maintain moisture and protect the skin from irritation.

"If your lipid layer doesn't work properly, even your regular moisturizer may not be effective," he said.

To overcome skin fatigue, there are several ways that can be done as follows.

1. Exfoliate routine

Use soft skin exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. This helps fresh skin cells emerge to the surface and can make the skin look better.

2. Hydration

moisturizing with hialonorate acid helps draw water into the skin. Consumption of fluids is enough to help maintain skin health better.

3. Use a high antioxidant serum

Use a serum that is high in antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. This is useful for reducing oxidative stress and helping with healing.

4. Pay attention to the skin

Pay attention to how your skin changes along with changing seasons. This may require more moisture or extra sun protection depending on your weather and activity.
