Winter dry skin,

Perfectly managed with ZEROID

Hello.

This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.

Mutoel operates a three-doctor collaborative system in Yongsan, including a board-certified plastic surgeon and a board-certified dermatologist, to accurately understand our clients’ concerns and suggest the most appropriate solutions.

All procedures and surgeries are tailored to each individual’s characteristics, and we place the highest value on honesty, without unnecessary treatment.

With the mindset of, “What treatment would I recommend if this were my family?”, we promise care that combines warmth and expertise throughout the entire process, from consultation to post-procedure care.

As winter approaches, the very first change many people notice is their skin condition.

Suddenly colder air, lower humidity caused by indoor heating, and the dryness from the outside environment all quickly strip moisture from the skin and lead to winter dry skin.

Today, from a specialist’s perspective, I’ll go step by step through winter dry skin, skin barrier damage, and the types of functional moisturizers that can help protect our skin from it, which were also covered in a recently published article.

Why is skin more sensitive in winter?

The reason skin becomes more sensitive in winter is not simply because of “dryness.”

The key is that the skin barrier itself has become weakened.

As indoor heating dries the air and the outside remains cold and dry, the protective lipid film on our skin breaks down.

When that happens, tightness and itching can occur, and in severe cases it can develop into eczema or inflammation.

In particular, middle-aged and older adults whose sebum production has decreased with age, or office workers who are exposed to indoor heating for long periods, tend to be more vulnerable to these changes.

Many people apply moisturizer when their skin feels dry, but the problem is not simply a lack of moisture.

The core of winter dryness is barrier damage, so restoring the skin by supplying only moisture is difficult. It is important to provide and maintain both oil and moisture appropriately.

For this, you need a product that can rebuild the skin barrier that has been lost.

That is why many specialists especially recommend the ZEROID product line in winter.

What is ZEROID?

Unlike ordinary moisturizers, ZEROID is a functional moisturizer created with the goal of firmly restoring the skin barrier.

It does not stop at simply making the skin feel hydrated; it is a medical support product that carefully repairs the damaged skin barrier and can even help ease inflammation.

When used for flakes or dry skin, satisfaction is very high, and many people say the feeling of comfort after application lasts for a long time.

Among the ZEROID product line, the rich cream product can bring clear symptom improvement for people whose skin barrier damage progresses due to conditions such as dermatitis or atopic dermatitis, and who frequently experience itching or redness.

It rebuilds the skin barrier and also addresses itching, so it is a product I can strongly recommend to those who have not seen clear improvement with ordinary moisturizers.

It is also eligible for reimbursement through private health insurance, so if you are suffering from dryness that requires ZEROID products and receive a prescription after an accurate diagnosis from a specialist, you may be able to receive insurance benefits.

Is there anything else to pay attention to?

Of course, using a functional moisturizer like ZEROID is important, but it is also necessary to make efforts to improve your overall environment by changing your daily habits.

It is best to reduce overly frequent showers or showers with hot water, and be sure to apply moisturizer evenly within 3 minutes after showering.

Since this is a season when dryness easily worsens due to indoor heating, use a humidifier to maintain humidity at 40–60%, and make sure to drink at least 1.5 L of water a day to keep your body hydrated.

Because the skin is an organ that needs consistent care, you can only achieve healthy skin by improving long-term habits rather than relying on temporary care.

In closing..

In winter, our skin becomes much more sensitive than before due to various factors. If left untreated, it can easily progress to eczema or dermatitis.

By making a habit of consistent moisturizing and, if necessary, consulting a specialist without delay to receive appropriate treatment and manage your skin well, you can effectively prevent skin barrier damage caused by dryness.

At Mutoel Plastic Surgery and Mutoel Dermatology in Yongsan, we do our best to help you quickly regain skin comfort through an accurate diagnosis tailored to each individual’s condition and the selection of functional moisturizers, without unnecessary treatment.

If you are struggling with winter dry skin, do not worry about it alone for too long; we recommend consulting a specialist.
