What Are the Basics That Are Easy to Overlook?

When winter comes, many people feel their skin tightening more than usual,

and even after applying basic skincare products, their skin quickly feels dry.

So they try all kinds of home care methods,

but in many cases, the skin actually becomes more sensitive.

For winter skincare, rather than adding something new,

it is most important to properly follow the basics.

Today, let’s take a look at the home care basics

that are especially easy to overlook in winter^^

Washing your face every day,

"lukewarm water + low irritation" is the basic rule

The key points in our daily face washing are

using lukewarm water and reducing irritation.

Water that is too hot can damage the skin barrier,

and water that is too cold may not remove impurities sufficiently.

When washing your face, rather than rubbing strongly with your hands,

it is better to cleanse gently by rolling the foam over your skin.

Another basic that is easy to overlook is washing your hands.

Because bacteria or impurities on your hands can be transferred directly

to your face, washing your hands thoroughly before cleansing is very important^^

Moisturizing after cleansing

is all about doing it "right away"

After cleansing,

moisture in the skin begins to evaporate quickly.

Especially in winter, indoor heating can make

the skin dry out even more...!

If the skin repeatedly stays dry,

✔ fine lines can form more easily ✔ loss of elasticity can appear sooner

so the habit of moisturizing right after cleansing is very important.

If applying products right away is difficult, keeping a toner or other

immediately hydrating product in the bathroom is also a good idea!

Exfoliation,

doing it every day can make things worse

Since it’s winter, do you have skin that flakes up especially white,

so you exfoliate almost every day?

Many people also exfoliate frequently because skincare products

do not absorb well or makeup looks cakey.

But frequent exfoliation can

actually weaken the skin barrier!

Dead skin cells are not something that must always be removed;

✔ they also serve a role in protecting the skin

For that reason, it is advisable to adjust the frequency to about once or twice a week,

depending on your skin condition.

If dead skin keeps coming off even after exfoliating?

It may not be because there is too much dead skin,

but because over-cleansing has removed the protective layer as well.

In that case, it is better to stop exfoliation care

and focus on moisturizing instead.

Mists and sheet masks,

are they suitable for everyone?

Many people use mist or sheet masks frequently as home care,

but this method does not suit every skin type.

✔ Things to note when using mist

Spraying mist frequently can actually promote moisture evaporation

and make the skin drier.

Mists containing oil may feel moisturizing temporarily,

but for skin that does not tolerate oil ingredients well,

frequent use may cause wrinkles or trouble.

✔ Things to note when using a sheet mask

If you leave a sheet mask on for too long,

it can actually make the skin drier, so be careful!

If the mask starts to dry or you feel tightness,

it is best to remove it right away and apply moisturizer over it.

The idea that "the longer, the better"

can be harmful to winter skin.

It is important to stick to the recommended time.

A basic to keep even in winter: sun care

In winter, it is easy to think UV rays are weaker,

but UV rays affect skin aging regardless of the season.

✔ 15 to 20 minutes before going out ✔ Apply enough sunscreen ✔ After letting it absorb well into the skin, go outside.

If you go out often in the afternoon or spend a lot of time outdoors,

touching it up can also be helpful.

You can adjust this according to your personal lifestyle pattern^^

Winter skincare home care,

are you following the basics well right now?

For winter skincare home care methods, the beginning lies in basic habits

more than in special products.

If you are currently wondering about winter skincare home care methods,

first check the basic habits once!

✔ Cleansing habits

✔ Moisturizing timing

✔ How often you exfoliate

✔ How you use mist and masks

✔ Daily sun care

If you still do not see improvement in your skin concerns

even after trying various home care methods,

it may be necessary to check your underlying skin condition,

not just the surface of the skin.

If you need help, get assistance from a dermatologist

and find the right direction for your skin.

Because each person’s skin condition and concerns are different,

home care methods should also match what suits you.

In dry winter weather, I hope this helps you care for your skin

so it does not become dry or wrinkled.

Thank you^^
