My makeup keeps cracking due to internal dryness. If I get a skin booster, does it feel like the skin itself becomes moisturized?

Is there anyone out there whose makeup looks fine in the morning, but whose face looks completely different by lunchtime?

It is particularly bad for me on my cheeks and around my mouth. Even on days when the surface is shiny, my skin feels tight underneath, and by the afternoon, my foundation cracks in places, making it look really messy up close haha. So at first, I thought I was using the wrong skincare products, so I tried changing my moisturizer and using various types of serums.

It definitely looks better the day after I sleep with the mask on, but that only lasts a day or two, and it goes back to normal. I was told to drink a lot of water, so I've been drinking diligently, but I'm not sure if it makes a big difference to my skin, haha.

Then, a friend told me to look into skin boosters instead of just constantly changing my cosmetics.

To be honest, I had only heard the term "skin booster" but didn't really know exactly what kind of treatment it was. After looking it up, it seems there are various types depending on concerns like skin texture, hydration, and elasticity, but there are more varieties than I expected, so I'm stuck right here.

What I want isn't for my face to look puffy or voluminous, but simply for my skin condition itself to look hydrated and healthy. I want my skin to feel less tight after washing my face, and for it not to look dry and dull even when I apply a light layer of makeup.

For those of you who have tried a skin booster due to internal dryness, were you satisfied with this aspect as well?

I am also curious if the effects appear immediately. I would like to know if I start noticing a difference in my skin a few days after the treatment, or if I need to receive it consistently for about 2 to 3 sessions to see a difference in hydration or skin texture.

I'm actually a bit worried about the embossing and swelling. I've heard that it leaves bumpy marks on the face; how long does it usually take for them to look natural? I'm wondering if it will be okay by the time I go to work on Monday if I get it done on Friday evening and rest over the weekend.

To be honest, I'm a bit scared of the pain too, haha. My skin is dry and a bit sensitive to irritation, so please let me know if it would be bearable if I received it under anesthesia.

If anyone has consistently received skin boosters, I am curious to know if the hydration was only for the first few days, or if you felt your skin condition itself changed as you continued receiving them :)

I wondered if it was too much to start just for internal dryness, but then again, I felt like I wanted to try proper skincare instead of just spending money on cosmetics forever haha. I’d love to hear your experiences if you’ve received this treatment with similar concerns!!
