If my makeup looks cakey during the change of seasons, would it be a good idea to start with moisturizing care?

Hello. I am writing this because I have some questions regarding skincare for the changing seasons. If my skin is dry and my makeup looks patchy, should I start by changing my moisturizer or getting treatment at a dermatologist? I have also been looking up information about skin boosters, but since there are so many different names, I wanted to organize my questions before getting a consultation.

I am particularly curious about how to explain the dryness with visible dead skin cells on the surface and the tight feeling deep inside my skin during a consultation. I would like to know if it is sufficient to simply say that both are dry, or if it would be helpful to specify the time of day when they feel uncomfortable, such as whether it is immediately after washing my face or in the afternoon. I feel that simply saying my makeup looks patchy makes it difficult to convey my exact condition.

I am also wondering if it is okay to start with exfoliation just because my makeup isn't applying well. I understand that the order of treatments might differ if my skin is sensitive, so I would like to ask what specific areas you check first during the consultation. I would also like to understand which specific concerns moisturizing, soothing, and skin boosters address before making a choice.

If I get a consultation at the Maypure Hwajeong branch, would it be helpful to write down the names of the facial cleansers or creams I usually use? Bringing all the products seems like a hassle, so I'm wondering if it's okay to organize them by taking photos instead. Please also let me know if I should mention whether I've recently used any new products or exfoliants.

When considering a skin booster, I am curious not only about the pain but also about how much mark might remain on the skin surface after the procedure. Although it varies from person to person, I would like to make a decision after hearing an explanation on what kind of reaction to expect when scheduling an appointment, as well as when I can start applying makeup or washing my face. I want to avoid booking based solely on the name and then failing to consider the recovery schedule.

I would also like to ask if I need to decide on a plan for multiple sessions from the initial consultation. I am curious if the number of sessions or the intervals can be adjusted based on changes after first assessing my skin condition and determining the management direction. I would also appreciate it if you could inform me of any additional costs beyond the treatment fee.

I suppose it would be best to be specific about the changes I am expecting, right? Rather than a greasy shine, I would like to receive a consultation based on everyday concerns, such as uncomfortable tightness after washing my face or makeup flaking. I am wondering which specific concerns I should mention first to help with the consultation.

For those of you who consulted with similar concerns, what did you prepare before your visit? Rather than deciding on a treatment name in advance, I’d like to clearly explain my skin condition and the changes I want. Please let me know if there are any questions that are easy to overlook.
