My skin care tips for when your skin is extremely dry

They say the ideal humidity level for healthy skin is 40-60%. However, during the already dry winter, indoor heating and other factors can make your skin suffer even more in a dry environment.

 

The best thing to do is to use something like a humidifier to maintain humidity, but even then, if your skin feels tight or it's impossible to maintain humidity, I'd like to share some skin care tips that I use.

 

 

My skin care secret tip is Vaseline.

First, I moisturize thoroughly during my basic skincare routine, and then I apply Vaseline as a final touch. Many people apply a moisturizing product first, then a cream or oil to coat their skin. However, when my skin is extremely dry, even cream or oil quickly loses its moisture and leaves my skin feeling tight. However, Vaseline has strong occlusive properties. It acts as a sealant to prevent moisture loss, keeping my skin hydrated almost all day long.

 

For dry skin, I think Vaseline might be the most effective skin care tip. I haven't found anything that works as well as Vaseline for dry skin.

 

 

Vaseline also has its drawbacks: it's sticky and leaves skin looking shiny. It's supposed to be shiny, but it also leaves skin feeling moist.

If you apply it all over your face like a regular cream, it's a formula that will make pillow dust stick to your face, so you need to apply a thin, appropriate amount, focusing on dry areas. I don't use Vaseline when I go outside on days with a lot of fine dust. I feel like the fine dust will stick to the areas where I applied Vaseline. LOL

And since it's hard to use when I'm wearing makeup, I only use Vaseline when I'm bare-faced, and when I'm wearing makeup, I use something like an oil balm.

 

Ah, I accidentally wrote a long list of disadvantages, but I wonder if there's any other product as inexpensive and effective as Vaseline. I was so foolish in the past, unaware of its usefulness, that I only applied it to my lips.

 

Daiso sells Vaseline for just 3,000 won, everyone. Get some and use it on your face, hands, feet, and anywhere else you feel dry.

Apply something like a moisturizing cream to moisturize your skin, then cover it with Vaseline. I highly recommend it!
