Aren't some of you suddenly experiencing a lot of flaky skin on your face these days due to the weather? I've been struggling with white, flaky skin on my nose and cheeks, probably due to the dry weather. Because I wasn't exfoliating properly, my makeup started to flake off.

So, I've been researching various things about facial exfoliation. Today, I'll be sharing everything from the causes of facial flaking to how to exfoliate, and even dermatological treatments that can help manage it!

1. Causes of facial flaking

1) Dehydration

Lack of moisture is a common cause of facial flaking. When skin loses moisture, the stratum corneum thickens and the skin texture becomes rough.

 

2) Dry environment

Dry weather, like fall and winter, can easily lead to facial flaking. As the air dries, the moisture remaining in the skin decreases, and the intercellular lipid content decreases, which can lead to the formation of flaky skin.

Also, in winter, we often use heating devices, which can cause dry skin and lead to dead skin cell accumulation and skin troubles.

 

3) Other factors

Additionally, in the case of facial keratin, lack of sleep, lack of nutrients, and stress can be causes, and these can make the keratin more severe.

2. How to remove and care for facial exfoliation

If dead skin cells remain on the skin, the absorption of cosmetics will be slow, and when applying makeup, the dead skin cells may lift and cause the makeup to slide off, so it is good to know how to remove dead skin cells from the face!

However, you should be careful because removing dead skin cells too forcefully can irritate the skin.

 

1) Physical exfoliation

Physical exfoliation involves physically removing dead skin cells using a scrub or facial brush. Because physical exfoliation can irritate the skin, it's recommended to use products with smaller grains rather than larger ones.

 

2) Chemical exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation involves dissolving dead skin cells with chemical ingredients like AHA, BHA, and enzymes. It's recommended to use it only once or twice a week.

 

3) Skin moisture management

To manage facial exfoliation, it's important to keep your skin hydrated to prevent dryness. After washing your face, it's recommended to thoroughly apply a moisturizing cream or cream. Using a humidifier or wet towel to keep your indoor air from drying out is also helpful for exfoliation.

3. Exfoliation Dermatological Treatment

If you still experience recurring skin flaking or dryness despite home care, you may want to consider receiving dermatological treatment.

 

1) Aquaphil

Aqua Peel is a treatment that applies a special solution to the skin, dissolving dead skin cells and sebum and cleansing the inner pores. It's said to be a helpful treatment for removing sebum and impurities along with dead skin cells.

4. Q&A

1) Can I exfoliate my face every day?

Exfoliating your face daily can damage your skin barrier. Depending on your skin type, exfoliating once or twice a week is recommended.

 

2) What care should I take after exfoliating my face?

: Since the skin is sensitive immediately after exfoliation, it is important to thoroughly apply moisturizing cream.

 

3) Why does exfoliation cause more skin trouble?

Excessive exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier and lead to breakouts. Furthermore, if the peeling ingredients don't suit your skin, they can trigger an inflammatory reaction.
