Director Gu So-yeon of Dong-an Center Clinic appeared on ‘News Invitation Daily Issue’ and explained holiday syndrome. Holiday syndrome refers to experiencing mental or physical symptoms due to stress during the holidays. She said that it is caused by stress caused by physical fatigue from the long process of returning home, housework, etc., and mental fatigue from gender discrimination, discrimination from in-laws and parents. This started to appear after the traditional family system disappeared and the individualistic culture of the nuclear family became established after industrialization, and its symptoms include physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, stomach problems, and indigestion, and mental symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and breathing difficulties. Most of those who suffered from holiday syndrome were housewives, but he emphasized that the scope has recently expanded to include husbands, the unemployed, single people, and mothers-in-law, and it is emerging as a social problem.

Dr. Chang-hwan Cho of Dong-An Joongsim Clinic appeared on MBN News to explain skin care after winter skiing. He said that while it is great to enjoy the fun of being in the snow, you should also take care of your skin before that. He said that at the ski resort, your skin is exposed to UV rays and cold winds that are just as strong as in the summer, which can easily cause skin troubles such as blemishes, freckles, and dry skin. He said that one of the essential items you must bring with you to the ski resort is sunscreen.At ski resorts, 80-90% of the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight shining directly on the snow on the ground are reflected and irradiated onto the skin, which is about 4 times more than the ultraviolet rays in summer, which causes skin tanning, freckles, and blemishes. Therefore, you must apply sunscreen 30 minutes before engaging in outdoor activities at the ski resort, and it is recommended to apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen the size of a 500 won coin with an SPF factor of 30 or higher and a PA rating of ++ or higher, and to reapply once every 2-3 hours.He also introduced that moisturizing care is just as important as UV protection. He said that the cold wind at the ski resort dries out our skin even more, so we should thoroughly apply moisturizing cream because it takes away moisture from the skin, drying out the skin, reducing elasticity, and forming fine wrinkles. He said that mixing 2-3 drops of facial oil into the moisturizing cream and applying it can further increase the moisturizing effect and have a lasting effect. He explained that after visiting the ski resort, the face becomes very dry and tight due to the cold and dry wind, and that a good way to deal with this is to use a steam towel.It is a method of providing sufficient moisture by putting a wet towel in the microwave or soaking it in boiled water, squeezing it, and covering the face with it. If the skin is very dry, washing the face with milk or using a moisture pack is also effective. He emphasized that it is more important to prevent damage in advance than to do aftercare when it comes to skin care, because it takes a long time and effort for damaged skin to recover.

Dr. So-youn Koo of Dong-An Joonsim Clinic appeared on KBS's live broadcast World Morning to introduce the causes and treatments of dry skin. She said that dry skin is a condition in which moisture is lost from the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, and although it may look like a single layer of skin at first glance, it is actually made up of dozens of layers and contains about 5-6 times its weight in moisture, playing a very important role in maintaining normal, soft skin. When the moisture in the stratum corneum disappears, the skin cracks just like a field cracks during a midsummer drought, and fine skin peels appear. If it progresses further, severe itching occurs, and about 20% of the elderly suffer from itching due to dry skin, but young people are no exception. In the case of dry skin, you need to know that it is not because the skin is oily, but because it lacks moisture. Therefore, it is most important to maintain an appropriate amount of moisture in the skin and the surrounding environment as much as possible. To this end, he said that bathing habits are important. He said that water that is too hot is not good, lukewarm water, about body temperature, is suitable, and it is better not to use soap at all, but to use weak soap where it is absolutely necessary.
