When will this Day be celebrated? October 25th of each calendar year.
What is National Skinflammation Day? The introduction of this national day will recognize skinflammation, an important emerging category of skincare wellness. Skinflammation occurs when symptoms of inflammation are brought to the skins’ surface. Inflammation is a protective mechanism that occurs in response to injury or infection. When an inflammatory stimulus occurs, cells release signaling molecules called cytokines that regulate inflammatory reactions, this brings about the symptoms of inflammation: swelling and redness. Over time, this inflammation gradually degrades the skin, contributing to a variety of negative long-term effects on an individual’s skin and complexion. National Skinflammation Day would build awareness for this skin condition and educate individuals on methods of treatment.
Why is this day being created? This national day offers a unique opportunity for individuals to prioritize personal wellness. This breakthrough beauty and wellness category addresses a concept that many people are not familiar with. By introducing a national holiday, it will garner awareness for skinflammation and the effects it yields. In addition, the holiday helps to facilitate a conversation that encourages individuals to talk about and educate themselves on their wellness as it may pertain to skin care. By encouraging conversations around skinflammation, this day will help to break industry barriers and continue to advance the importance of encouraging confidence and overall wellness for each individual.
How should this day be observed? There are many ways to celebrate this day. The most important element of the holiday is taking the time to assess how you feel in your own skin. On this day, individuals should be encouraged to address any skin concerns, starting with skinflammation. To reduce the impact of skinflammation, cold therapy has documented benefits, including reducing tissue inflammation, decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines. There is a variety of ways to prioritize addressing and soothing skinflammation. One method includes booking in-office treatments such as a Glacial Rx treatment or using at-home cooling therapy techniques such as an ice-roller. The important part is that this should generate awareness and encourage education for skinflammation treatment, resulting in improvement of skin care and contributing to open conversations that promote confidence in your own skin.
Who created this day? This day was created by the Glacial Rx in 2022.
