Even though winter is almost over, I'm checking my skin condition these days.

My skin has been in terrible shape lately. My face feels tight right after I wash it, and when I look in the mirror, I see dead skin cells all over my cheeks and chin. I reapply cream several times a day, but it doesn't help. Even after showering, I thoroughly apply toner, essence, and oil, but my skin still feels parched. ㅜㅜ It's like itching. It's especially stressful when I put on makeup. The foundation gets stuck between the dead skin cells, so no matter how hard I try, it just doesn't go on cleanly. It's incredibly stressful to put on makeup to meet people during the holidays. Lately, I can't even figure out what's wrong. Is it dehydration or not exfoliating enough? I've tried changing things up, but there's no noticeable improvement. It used to get better after a day or so, but this time, it lasts a lot longer. Still, I don't want to give up, so today I applied a generous amount of cream and put on a moisture pack, hoping my skin will eventually become smooth again. Hey, are you all taking good care of your skin during the winter? ㅜㅜ
