You may have experienced your skin feeling tight, your makeup flaking off, or white dead skin flakes appearing on your face after washing it at least once. This flaking can be particularly noticeable during seasonal changes or when your skin condition is poor.

Today, I will summarize everything for you in one go, from the causes of facial flaking and home exfoliation methods to professional dermatological treatments!

1. Causes of facial flaking

1) Dry skin

It is said that when the skin lacks moisture, the stratum corneum lifts, making it easy for dead skin cells to form on the face. This can be particularly exacerbated by environmental factors, such as winter or the changing of seasons.

 

2) Skin barrier damage

Excessive face washing, frequent peeling, and the use of harsh cosmetics can weaken the skin barrier, which can prevent dead skin cells from shedding properly and lead to facial flaking.

 

3) Bad skincare habits

It is said that skincare habits also affect the occurrence of dead skin cells. Exfoliating too frequently or using skincare products with strong alcohol content can actually dry out the skin and lead to facial flaking.

 

4) Abnormal skin turnover

It is said that if the skin regeneration cycle slows down, old dead skin cells do not shed in time and accumulate, causing the skin texture to become rough and flaky.

2. Home Care Method for Facial Exfoliation

If you are concerned about flaky skin on your face, it is important to manage exfoliation properly. Let me share a few home exfoliation methods.

 

1) Replenish skin moisture

To soothe flaky skin, it is important to calm the skin by sufficiently replenishing moisture and oil. It is recommended to hydrate the skin with a moisturizing cream after cleansing, and to lightly apply an essence to areas where dead skin cells are flaking.

2) Avoid excessive exfoliation

It is said that exfoliating too often can actually make the skin drier or more sensitive, so you should manage exfoliation by maintaining an appropriate frequency according to your skin type.

 

3) Reduce skin irritation

Also, you should be careful, as rubbing your face hard or using rough towels can irritate the skin, making it sensitive and potentially causing dead skin cells to form.

 

4) Improve cleansing habits

Improving your cleansing habits is also helpful for exfoliation. It is said that it is important to avoid washing habits such as using water that is too hot or excessively repeating double cleansing.

3. Facial Exfoliation Dermatological Procedures

If you experience recurring facial flaking, receiving professional dermatological care can be helpful. If managing the condition with home care alone is difficult, the following types of dermatological treatments are said to be beneficial.

 

1) Aqua Peel

Aqua Peel is a peeling treatment that removes sebum and dead skin cells using the application and adsorption of AHA and BHA, and it is said that the adsorption method allows for deep cleansing of the pores.

The price for the Maypure Aqua Peel first-visit event is said to be 4,900 won per session.

2) Larafil

If you are looking for a gentle exfoliation method, you might consider Lara Peel. Lara Peel gently dissolves dead skin cells rather than artificially peeling them off, allowing you to manage dead skin cells and sebum on the skin's surface without irritation.

I heard that the price of Maypure Lara Peel is 100,000 won per session.

3) LDM

Although LDM is not a procedure that directly exfoliates, it can be helpful for cases where dead skin cells are flaking due to dryness. It is said to promote continuous collagen production to replenish moisture, improve skin texture, and help restore the skin barrier.

The price for the Maypure LDM first-visit event is said to be 49,000 won per session.

4. Q&A

1) Is it okay to remove dead skin cells from my face immediately when they appear?

Forcing the removal of dead skin cells can actually damage the skin barrier, so it is important to allow them to shed naturally.

 

2) If dead skin cells appear, is it okay if I just focus on moisturizing?

While mild flaking can sometimes be improved with moisturizing alone, if facial flaking persists, it is recommended to combine regenerative care with exfoliation management.

 

3) My skin is so dry that it seems like dead skin cells are forming. Is there a treatment that helps with this?

Liviheal Shining is a procedure containing hyaluronic acid that can help alleviate inner skin dryness and improve moisture balance. If you desire a radiance that plumps from deep within your skin, Liviheal Shining can be helpful.

The price for the Maypure Libby Hill Shining Event is 80,000 won per session, and the first-visit event price is 69,000 won.
