My skin feels particularly tight after washing my face only on Monday mornings. Is it correct to wipe my face with a toner pad and then apply cream?

When I wake up on Monday morning after sleeping in late on the weekend, my face feels unusually tight. Perhaps because I slept in a room with the heating on all night, white flakes of dead skin appear around my mouth after washing my face and waiting for it to dry. Even after applying cream, my cheeks feel tight again by lunchtime.

Lately, after washing my face, I leave a little moisture on it, wipe it once with a hydrating toner pad, and then apply two or three drops of soothing ampoule followed by a moisturizing cream. Wiping with the pad feels like it exfoliates the skin, allowing the next steps to absorb better, but I am worried that doing this every morning might be making my skin thinner or more sensitive.

I have two questions. First, is it okay to wipe my face with a toner every morning, or is it better to use pads only 2-3 times a week and press my hands into the skin for absorption the rest of the time? Second, is it better to take a break from using pads for a few days before and after a skin booster treatment?

Since I have less than three minutes to spare while getting ready for work in the morning, I want to keep the routine as simple as possible. I'm curious how everyone has organized their morning moisturizing routines for the changing seasons.월요일 아침만 유독 세안 후 당김이 심한데, 토너 패드로 닦토하고 크림 바르는 순서 맞을까요?

  • 저도 입가 건조 때문에 패드 사용이 궁금해요. 닦는 방식과 제품 성분을 함께 확인하고 시술 전후 쉬는 기간도 알려주나요?
  • 저도 세안하고 나면 얼굴이 엄청 당길때가 있더라구요ㅠㅠ 특히 요즘처럼 건조할때는 더 심한거 같아요 ㅋㅋㅋ 닦토도 피부 상태에 따라 자극될 수 있다고 해서 저는 건조할땐 그냥 보습 위주로 하는게 낫지 않을까 싶어요 ㅎㅎ
  • 저도 아침에 난방 때문에 얼굴이 당겨서 닦토를 했는데, 매일 하면 볼이 붉어지고 각질이 더 일어나더라고요. 지금은 주 2~3회만 패드로 닦고 나머지는 손으로 눌러 흡수시키는데 그게 훨씬 편했습니다. 스킨부스터 받은 날부터 3일 정도는 패드 대신 순한 토너를 손으로 발라 주시고, 세안 후 3분 안에 앰플과 크림을 얹는 게 당김에는 제일 효과 있었어요.
