My nose gets oily and my cheeks feel tight as soon as lunch is over. How do you all determine the amount of oil-moisture balance cream to use and how do you schedule your skincare routine?

My skin has been acting strangely lately because the temperature has dropped sharply in the mornings and evenings. After washing my face, white dead skin cells flake off on my cheeks, but my nose and forehead become oily by lunchtime, so I'm confused whether I'm using too little cream or if I've actually applied too much.

So these days, instead of applying a generous amount of cream all at once, I’ve been splitting the application into two layers: spreading a thin layer while my skin is still slightly damp after washing, waiting about three minutes, and then adding another layer. It definitely feels less tight in the mornings. However, by midday, the oiliness on my nose and forehead remains the same, so I’m not sure if this is the right approach.

In the evening, I apply a slightly thick layer of moisturizing cream as a finishing touch after the soothing ampoule, and twice a week, I apply an extra layer of cream only to the dead skin cells around my mouth and cheeks before going to sleep.

Is it okay to continue with just home care like this? I’ve heard that if internal dryness recurs, it is better to use treatments that replenish moisture periodically, like a skin booster. I would like to hear opinions from those with experience on how you schedule treatments during seasonal changes or in winter, and how many times a day is appropriate to use cream.점심만 지나면 코는 번들거리고 볼은 당기는데, 유수분 밸런스 잡는 크림 양이랑 관리 주기 어떻게들 잡으세요?

  • 코와 볼처럼 부위마다 번들거림과 당김이 다르면 제품을 더 겹치기 전에 세안·각질 관리와 사용하는 크림 양을 기록해 패턴을 확인해보는 것도 좋을 것 같아요. 사용 중인 제품을 정리해 상담 때 보여주면 보습과 피지 관리를 함께 살펴보는 데 도움이 되겠어요. 시술을 고민하신다면 홈케어로 해결 가능한 부분과 기대 범위, 간격·비용을 따로 질문한 뒤 결정하시면 좋겠습니다.
