Would you like to hear about home care methods for extremely dry skin?

Because I have dry skin, it's the first to react when the seasons change. Even the slightest dryness causes intense tightness, and the resulting flaking causes my makeup to flake off. So these days, I'm focusing on hydrating and maintaining my skin with my home care routine.

First, I've made a lot of changes to my facial cleansing routine. Cleansers that leave my skin feeling greasy can actually dry it out, so I try to use gentle, slightly acidic products. In the morning, I just wash my face with water or a very small amount, and only thoroughly wash it in the evening. After washing, I don't rub my face with a towel; I just pat it dry.

It's also important to start moisturizing within a minute of washing your face. Before your skin dries, apply toner first to replenish moisture, then apply several thin layers and allow to absorb. Next, replenish moisture with essence or serum, and finally, apply cream to prevent moisture loss. For dry skin, applying multiple thin layers is more effective than applying a large amount at once.

I keep exfoliation to a minimum. Frequent exfoliation actually makes my skin drier and more sensitive, so I only use a gentle exfoliator or toner pad when my skin is in good condition. Instead, I use a moisturizing or sleeping pack once or twice a week for intensive care. After using the pack, my skin feels much more comfortable until the next day.

Lastly, lifestyle habits were also important. I drink plenty of water and use a humidifier to keep the indoor air from becoming too dry. When your skin is sensitive, avoiding new products right away and using minimal products while giving it a rest are also important aspects of home care for dry skin.
