Every winter, many people feel as if their face is tightening,
and even after applying oil, they still feel dry and often
experience cracking or redness of the skin.
Did you know that simple surface dryness and inner dryness
are actually different kinds of dryness?
Inner dryness can make the cheeks especially sensitive,
and you may even feel as if fine lines are increasing.
For those who are particularly concerned about winter inner dryness,
today we will take a detailed look at the causes and how to manage it^^

The real cause of inner dryness,
a barrier problem, not just moisture
The reason skin feels tight is often not simply a lack of moisture,
but rather that the skin barrier has been damaged.
The skin barrier protects the skin
from external irritation and helps retain moisture,
but when cold wind and heated indoor air repeat day after day, the lipids and proteins that make up the barrier become damaged.
In the end, the skin can no longer retain moisture on its own,
and even after applying moisturizer, it quickly feels dry,
turning into skin that suffers from inner dryness...!

How to manage it in daily life
For those with severe inner dryness, it is better to start by adjusting lifestyle habits
rather than changing cosmetics first.
It is best to cleanse briefly with lukewarm water, reduce irritation,
and avoid overly foaming cleansers.
Do not rub with a towel; instead, pat dry gently,
and applying a moisturizing cream within 1 minute after cleansing to form a hydration barrier
can also help, so keeping the product in the bathroom is one option.

Using a humidifier and maintaining an indoor temperature of 20–22°C
and humidity at 50% can also help.
If you only use a moisturizing mask 1–2 times a week, avoid excessive mask care,
as it can actually become irritating.
It is important to use products according to your individual skin condition,
and even these small changes in habits
can help restore the skin barrier^^

"I use a mask every day, but my skin is even drier!"
For those people
"If I use a mask every day, my skin will stay moisturized, right?"
Are you doing a daily mask routine with that in mind?
Actually, it can cause dryness and irritation instead.
The reasons are,
When you continuously use ingredients that do not suit your skin!
When you leave the mask on longer than the recommended time!
When you fall asleep wearing the mask and your skin is rubbed all night!
In particular, leaving a sheet mask on until it dries completely can instead absorb moisture from the skin,
making it even drier and more wrinkled.
So, it is not important to do a mask every day;
what matters is using the right method for your skin condition^^

Skin barrier care is the key
If the skin is not simply dry,
skin barrier care to restore the balance of lipids, proteins, and moisture within the skin
may be necessary!
You may consider moisturizers containing ingredients that help improve the skin,
or dermatologic treatment methods.
Above all, daily habits are important,
so it is necessary to reduce external irritation
and create an environment where the skin can recover on its own.

Advice from a board-certified dermatologist
If inner dryness persists for a long period, or if redness and fine lines are accompanied by it,
we recommend getting an accurate diagnosis of your skin condition rather than leaving it untreated!
If the skin is in a sensitive state and excessive moisturizing or frequent mask care is repeated,
barrier damage may actually become worse.
In particular, winter inner dryness may be caused not by a lack of moisture,
but by weakened barrier function,
so first try the management methods introduced so far,
and if there is no improvement, visiting a board-certified dermatologist for an evaluation
may also be an option^^

Various methods for managing moisture within the skin
and improving the barrier
To restore the skin barrier and relieve inner dryness,
in addition to lifestyle management, you can consider treatment methods that directly replenish components within the skin.
These methods all need to be applied and managed differently depending on the individual skin condition
in order to expect improvement!
For example, 'Re2O', which directly injects ECM, a component within the skin,
or 'JuveLook Volume', which contains hyaluronic acid and PDLLA,
can also help improve elasticity.
In addition, you can consider various skin booster treatments such as Rejuran, iRejuran, Rejuran HB,
JuveLook, SkinVive, and OB Booster.
Not every treatment is right for everyone,
so choosing the one that suits you is important^^

Winter inner dryness may be a sign of skin barrier damage,
not just a lack of moisture.
Rather than wrong mask habits or frequent cleansing,
the most important thing is to create an environment where the skin can recover on its own.
Please remember that a moisturizer is not just a source of hydration,
but a protective shield for the barrier!
If you restore the barrier within the skin and combine it with personalized care,
inner dryness can gradually ease.
Thank you^^
