Internal dryness in the summer... Is there a procedure to restore the skin barrier?
I am in my 30s and my skin has been completely ruined by the air conditioning. Since I spend all day under the air conditioner at home while taking care of my child, I am experiencing an extreme imbalance where the surface is shiny with sweat and oil, but the inside is cracked and tight like a drought.
Perhaps due to the severe temperature difference between the inside and outside of my skin, I have recently developed a lot of fine bumps and tiny bumps around my cheeks, and the surface of my skin has become dry and rough like sandpaper. Even when I apply a generous amount of moisturizer, it just sits on the surface and does not resolve the inner dryness at all. In fact, perhaps because my skin barrier is completely damaged, my skin stings and even turns red when I apply the basic skincare products I normally use.
I'm worried that getting laser treatment blindly in this condition will just make my skin break out even more, so I'm considering getting treatments that replenish inner moisture, such as LDM Waterdrop Lifting or skin boosters like Rejuran. If anyone has suffered from internal dryness and a compromised skin barrier during the summer like me and successfully overcome them with dermatological procedures, please share some tips!
(This is the air conditioner at my house that has been running all day... ㅠㅠ This summer is so hot.)
