Lately, you might suddenly notice your makeup looking cakey or feeling like dead skin cells are flaking and turning white after washing your face. I also found myself getting stressed because the flaking made my skin look rough and caused my makeup to slide off.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of facial flaking and home care methods to helpful dermatological procedures.

1. Causes of facial flaking

1) Dry skin

First of all, when the skin lacks moisture, dead skin cells fail to shed properly and accumulate. This can lead to the skin surface becoming flaky and white or peeling.

 

2) Skin barrier damage

Excessive washing, frequent exfoliation, and the use of irritating cosmetics can weaken the skin barrier. It is said that when the skin barrier breaks down, moisture retention decreases, making it easier for dead skin cells to form.

 

3) Seasonal influence

Skin condition can easily deteriorate during periods of large daily temperature fluctuations. In particular, it is said that dead skin cells can easily rise to the surface during transitional seasons like spring and autumn.

2. Home Care Method for Exfoliating the Face

If your makeup smudges or looks patchy due to facial flaking, it is recommended to start managing it with home care.

 

1) Gentle exfoliation

It is good to exfoliate regularly. However, it is recommended to use a gentle method when exfoliating and to avoid exfoliating too frequently.

2) Adequate moisturizing care

It is said that adequately replenishing moisture and oil is important for calming dead skin cells. Using a hydrating cream or moisturizing cream to replenish moisture to the skin is said to be helpful for managing dead skin cells.

3) Proper facial cleansing habits

Washing your face with hot water can break down the skin barrier, making it easier for dead skin cells to form, so it is important to wash your face gently with lukewarm water.

3. Dermatological Exfoliation Methods

If you find it difficult to manage exfoliation with home care, it is advisable to seek help from a dermatologist. Let me share a few methods for professional exfoliation.

 

1) Larafil

Lara Peel is an LHA-based, low-irritation peeling treatment that gently dissolves dead skin cells rather than artificially removing them. It delivers active ingredients deep into the skin along with exfoliation. It is said to help with skin regeneration and strengthening the skin barrier.

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

2) Aqua Peel

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

3) LDM

If your skin is dry and makeup tends to flake off easily due to dead skin cells, you might consider LDM. Although LDM is not a peeling procedure, it is a treatment that promotes continuous collagen production to help restore the skin barrier and reduce inflammation. It is also said to aid in replenishing moisture, regeneration, and improving skin texture.

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

4. Q&A

1) How should I care for my skin after exfoliating at home?

After exfoliating, it is important to focus on moisturizing and soothing care. Additionally, since the skin is vulnerable to external exposure after exfoliation, it is recommended to apply sunscreen thoroughly.

 

2) Is it okay to exfoliate every day?

Excessive exfoliation can actually make the skin more sensitive. Therefore, once or twice a week is sufficient.

 

3) Do oily skin types also get dead skin cells?

If the balance of sebum and dead skin cells is disrupted, oily skin can also experience flaking.

The flaking of the face is not simply a problem caused by dry skin, but is actually connected to the skin barrier, moisture balance, and lifestyle habits.

So, when dead skin cells start to flak, it is recommended to manage the skin in a way that stabilizes its condition rather than trying to remove them unconditionally.
