What kind of care should I get for skin with flaky white skin?
2026.11.09 01:27
Hello, I am a male office worker.
As late autumn gradually sets in and temperatures drop, my skin dryness has reached its peak. As soon as I finished washing my face after work, my entire face felt parched, and unsightly white flakes of dead skin started appearing around my mouth and nose.
As a typical man who usually just casually applies an all-in-one lotion, I have absolutely no idea how to cope with this seasonal change. I even bought and tried an additional moisturizer, but the tightness deep inside my skin gets worse again by the afternoon. Would it be effective to visit a dermatologist and receive a late autumn skincare or hydration program (such as LLD or iontophoresis)? Or would it be better to combine it with a procedure like a skin booster to strengthen the skin barrier? It would be a great help if men who are successfully overcoming late autumn dryness could share their skincare know-how or recommend any procedures.

- 01CommentsIf you experience a burning sensation right after washing your face with toner, it seems your skin barrier is very sensitive. When that happened to me, I found it better to layer a hydrating serum instead of a sheet mask and cover it thoroughly with cream. However, if the issue persists, it would be best to get a medical consultation for peace of mind!322026.11.03

💊 My neck wrinkles look deeper during the change of seasons~ What kind of treatment should I get?[8]
CommentsThere are definitely limits to neck wrinkles with home care alone. Since wrinkles seem to stand out more during seasonal changes due to dryness, please make sure to moisturize well. Also, because the appropriate treatment varies depending on each individual's neck condition, I recommend asking about the treatment frequency and duration of the results during the consultation!340026.11.03 - 02CommentsIf you experience a burning sensation right after washing your face with toner, it seems your skin barrier is very sensitive.

- 03CommentsI've been worried lately because my cheeks have been itchy and red, just like yours, so it's great to hear your story. I've heard that it's better to hydrate with a serum first rather than using an oily cream, so it might be a good idea to get some advice!350026.11.03
