Worried About Flaky Skin During the Fall Seasonal Transition?

It feels like fall is slowly arriving,

so today, let’s talk about flaky skin!

Skin care methods basically change depending on the season, right!?

We can’t avoid fall, can we?

Would it be possible if we went into space—or went to a country without fall?

A fool who knows nothing but skin

Flaky skin?

It commonly appears on dry skin or during the seasonal transition and winter.

When there is not enough moisture, dead skin cells cannot be shed properly

and become visibly raised and white on the surface.

A rough, flaky feeling when touched is its main characteristic.

There are several types of dead skin buildup, but since it feels like fall is approaching,

I’ll write about the flaky type today.

Ingredients that help with flaky skin

AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acid)

This is a water-soluble exfoliating ingredient.

It gently dissolves dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, helping improve skin texture.

It is suitable for dry skin lacking moisture or sensitive skin.

Representative ingredients include glycolic acid and lactic acid.

PHA (Poly-Hydroxy Acid)

It has properties similar to AHA,

but because its molecules are larger, it is absorbed slowly into the skin.

Because of this, it is less irritating and can be used even on very sensitive skin.

It also has moisturizing effects, so it is especially useful for dry and sensitive skin!

There is also an ingredient called BHA, but I’ll tell you about it

when I share information about another type of dead skin buildup.

Helpful tips to know

In general, skin care and cosmetic industries mainly classify dead skin buildup

by its visible appearance or texture, such as flaky buildup, thick buildup, and small-granule buildup.

Accordingly, they categorize it using the ingredients described above and

divide and apply solutions for each type.

Rather than being strictly divided into types,

these terms are practical ones focused on the skin’s condition and

how it should be managed.

Therefore, I recommend that you first learn more about the dead skin buildup you currently have

and focus on caring for it accordingly!

Related dermatology treatments

Peeling treatment (Peeling)

One representative option is a peeling treatment.

This is because it uses a chemical solution to gently remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface

and induce skin regeneration.

Aquapeel and Lala Peel are representative examples.

Skin scaling (Skin Scaling)

This is one of the most basic dead skin cell care treatments at dermatology clinics.

It refers to removing dead cells from the skin’s outermost layer using a solution containing AHA!

After removing dead skin cells, the skin may temporarily become sensitive, regardless of the treatment.

After treatment, you should pay particular attention to sufficient moisturizing and sun protection.

Since the appropriate treatment varies depending on each person’s skin condition and concerns,

please be sure to consult a professional before undergoing treatment!
