Maybe it's because of the fine dust from China in the fall... The dryness has gotten worse lately.

Now that it's fall, I can feel the difference in the air right away on my skin. I've heard that the fine dust from China has gotten worse these past few days, and perhaps because of that, even just washing my face makes my skin feel tight and more prone to flaking.

This is something I usually don't pay much attention to, but because the wind is cold and the air is dry, fine dust seems to stick to my skin more easily, and I can definitely feel my skin barrier becoming more sensitive.

The area around my nose and mouth keeps getting irritated, and even when I apply skincare, it feels like it dries out quickly, so I've been quite concerned about it lately.

How do you manage your skin during this fine dust season in the fall? I'm wondering if I should change my cleansing routine or just moisturize more thoroughly.

I don't know what the problem is because my skin dries out quickly even though I just wash it gently with a mildly acidic cleanser every evening and moisturize right away.

They say that exfoliating too often makes your skin more sensitive. So even though I can't touch it, the breakouts keep coming up.

If you have any routines or product combinations that have worked for you during this time, it would be really helpful.
