At times like this, your skin tends to become particularly rough, making it prone to makeup creasing or flaking. If you blindly remove dead skin cells thinking that simply taking them off is enough, it can actually make your skin more sensitive.

Today, I will explain everything from the reasons why dead skin cells form to how to remove them, divided into home care and dermatological procedures.

1. Reasons why dead skin cells form

Dead skin cells need to slough off in time, but if they do not shed properly, they can cause skin problems. The reasons for dead skin cell buildup are said to be as follows.

 

1) Dry skin

Skin dryness is one of the main causes of dead skin cells; it is said that if there is a lack of moisture deep within the skin, dead skin cells cannot naturally slough off and can accumulate on the skin's surface.

 

2) Reduced skin turnover

Turnover is the cycle by which the skin regenerates itself, and as we age or our skin condition deteriorates, this turnover cycle gradually slows down. Consequently, dead skin cells fail to shed in time and continue to accumulate on the skin's surface, which can lead to the formation of a thick layer of dead skin cells.

 

3) Incorrect skincare habits

Everyday habits can also cause dead skin cells. Excessive scrubbing, frequent use of peeling products, and harsh cleansing can irritate the skin and damage the skin barrier. It is said that if the skin barrier breaks down, more dead skin cells may accumulate.

2. How to Exfoliate (Home Care)

If you are concerned about excessive dead skin cells, managing them through home care can be helpful. Here are a few ways to remove dead skin cells at home.

 

1) Gentle exfoliation

It is said that since excessive exfoliation can actually increase the amount of dead skin cells, it is important to manage exfoliation gently according to the appropriate frequency for your skin type.

2) Replenish skin moisture

To manage dead skin cells, it is important to soothe the skin by sufficiently replenishing moisture and oil. It is said that using a moisturizing cream to hydrate the skin and lightly applying oil to areas where dead skin cells are flaking is also helpful.

3) Check cleansing method

It is recommended to wash your face gently using lukewarm water and a hypoallergenic cleanser, as washing your face with water that is too hot or excessive double cleansing can cause exfoliation.

3. How to remove dead skin cells (Dermatological procedure)

If you find it difficult to manage exfoliation through home care, you can seek help from dermatological procedures. The dermatological treatments said to be helpful for exfoliation are as follows.

 

1) Larafil

Lara Peel is described as a low-irritation peeling treatment that gently dissolves dead skin cells rather than artificially removing them. It effectively removes dead skin cells and sebum from the skin's surface and is said to aid in skin regeneration and the normalization of the skin barrier. Because it is a low-irritation method, even those with sensitive skin can receive the treatment without any concerns.

The price of Maypure Lara Peel is said to be 100,000 won per session.

4. Q&A

1) Is it okay to exfoliate every day?
Exfoliating excessively is not necessarily beneficial; it is important to manage your skin at an appropriate frequency tailored to your skin condition. Since frequent use of scrubs or peeling products can damage the skin barrier, you should manage your skin using gentle methods suited to your skin's state.

 

2) What happens if I don't exfoliate?

As dead skin cells continue to accumulate, it can lead to various skin concerns. Your skin tone may appear dull, makeup may look cakey, and the absorption of basic skincare products may decrease.

 

3) How should I care for my skin after exfoliation?

It is important to provide sufficient moisturizing care after exfoliation. Since the skin can become sensitive after exfoliation, you must pay attention to moisturizing and soothing care, and it is also important to apply sunscreen thoroughly.

It is important to manage dead skin cells gently according to your skin condition rather than forcibly removing them. It is said that during times like these, managing exfoliation, hydration, and the skin barrier together is necessary to maintain a more stable skin condition.
