Deep hydration from head to toe! A daily routine for airtight defense during the changing seasons.

Everyone... the weather lately is seriously crazy. It's a harsh transitional season where not a single day is quiet. How are you all managing your skin? I have 'sensitive dry' skin that turns red at the slightest provocation and feels severely tight from the inside!! With the large temperature fluctuations and dry spring winds blowing like they have these days, my whole body—not just my face, but my body and even my lips—seems to be screaming for moisture... So today, I’m going to share my personal routine that I practice every day to combat dryness and build a strong skin barrier. Daily Moisturizing Routine for the Changing Seasons and 3 Must-Haves Let me introduce it!!

 

💧 Routine 1. [Face Care] Secure the golden time immediately after cleansing! 3-step skin layering with a large-size toner

I heard that for dry skin, the 3 minutes immediately after washing your face is a dangerous time when moisture evaporates the fastest, so right after lightly patting my face dry with a towel, I use the Medi Peel Meso Collagen Toner I keep in the bathroom without delay.

 

This product comes in a massive 1000ml size, so it's perfect for using generously without holding back during the changing seasons. Since I tend to reapply toner multiple times, I really like having a lot of it. Haha. So, the first tip is to generously soak a cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin's texture (wiping toner) to refine any remaining dead skin cells and impurities. Next, dispense an appropriate amount onto your palm and repeat the process two more times, pressing gently onto your face to aid absorption (the 3-skin method). Perhaps because it contains low-molecular collagen, applying it in layers like this instantly relieves inner dryness, and you can feel your skin becoming firm and supple with your fingertips. During the changing seasons, layering hydrating toners is the best secret to combating inner dryness, rather than applying a single thick, expensive cream!

 

🧴 Routine 2. [Body Care] A flawless moisturizing coating finished inside the shower booth

 

Are there any people with extremely sensitive skin who get thin, white flakes of dead skin on their arms and legs like a snake's skin and even itchiness when the seasons change...?

It's me... My key body care tip is 'applying lotion before opening the bathroom door'! You need to apply a generous amount of lotion when the bathroom is filled with warm steam after a shower to perfectly prevent moisture from escaping into the air.

The product I use generously is 'Vaseline Intensive Care Sensitive Relief Body Lotion.' As the name suggests, it is formulated for sensitive skin, so it is gentle and non-irritating, and it quickly soothes skin that has become sensitive due to dryness!! I really dislike heavy and greasy textures, but this product absorbs smoothly and completely, and thanks to the Vaseline jelly ingredients, the moisturizing effect lasts until I shower the next day. And the good thing is that it's safe to apply even to your face (it's gentle), so I just keep using it without any hesitation. For particularly dry heels or elbows, if you apply a thin layer one more time before bed, the dead skin cells settle perfectly. Hehe.

 

💋 Routine 3. [Lip Care] Apply generously before bed! Lip exfoliating sleeping pack routine

If you have taken care of your face and body, the last step is your thin and sensitive lips! After all, the lips are the first part of the body to crack and bleed from the dry wind. I always make sure to carry lip balm in my pouch and apply it frequently. Especially before going to sleep at night, I apply a very thick layer of 'Kamill Vegan Lip Balm Classic'—enough to extend beyond my lip line—and use it like a sleeping mask.

This is a vegan lip balm from Kamill, famous for its flight attendant hand cream, and its moisturizing power is truly impressive. If you apply a generous amount like a lip mask before bed, the dead skin cells that have softened overnight gently slough off without irritation when you wash your face the next morning. You can maintain smooth and hydrated lips without having to forcibly pick at them. It is also my personal cheat-code tip: apply a light layer before lip makeup, wait 5 minutes, and then blot with a tissue—it ensures even matte lipstick applies beautifully without highlighting any dry patches!
