When only the area around the mouth is dry in late autumn, would it be okay to start with moisturizing care?

Scheduled branch to visit: Maypure Hwajeong Branch

 

How should I consult about the concern that the area around my mouth becomes unusually dry in late autumn, compared to my entire face? When I am bothered by a tight skin sensation and flaky white skin, I am wondering if I should start by looking into moisturizing care or if I should have my skin condition checked through a medical examination first. I would like to inquire if Maypure Hwajeong Branch can provide consultation for this kind of localized dryness.

The area around the mouth, in particular, moves constantly when speaking or eating, so I am unsure if I should manage it the same way as my cheeks. I would like to know how to distinguish between cases where simply applying a lot of cream is sufficient and cases that require further verification. I am also curious if it is okay to consider removing dead skin cells just because they are visible on the surface. I want to understand the cause before trying to remove them.

During the consultation, should I differentiate between the dryness of the lips themselves and the roughness of the skin on the outer edges? I plan to note down where the discomfort is located, if there is a stinging sensation, and how long after washing my face the tightness occurs. I am also curious if you take into account products I don't usually consider as part of my facial care, such as lip products or toothpaste. Rather than trying to determine the cause myself, I would like to truthfully explain what has changed recently.

I would like to know if the treatment area around the mouth is defined differently, even when considering skin soothing or moisturizing care. Instead of applying the same process to the entire face, would it be possible to check the uncomfortable areas separately from the manageable ones? If it is better to postpone the procedure and focus on lifestyle management first given my current condition, I would also like an explanation for why. I do not intend to feel obligated to proceed on the scheduled day.

I'm also curious what I should record at home to help with my next consultation. Would it be sufficient to simply note the days I changed products and the days I experienced discomfort? My skin looks different even within a single day depending on lighting or whether I've washed my face, so I don't want to worry too much about minor differences, haha. Please let me know the scope of consultation available at the Hwajeong branch and what I should prepare for my first visit. I would like to be advised on my cleansing routine, whether I wear makeup, and if there are any products I should temporarily stop using, after my skin has been examined. I will also organize the starting date so that I can explain whether the discomfort is long-standing or just a temporary change.
