😭 My skin is extremely dry; what on earth should I do for anti-aging?
Lately, my skin has been so dry that I am seriously worried. No matter how much cream I apply, it feels tight from the inside, and when I wake up in the morning, my face looks dull and rough. In the past, just focusing on moisturizing was enough, but now my wrinkles are noticeably deepening, so I sigh every time I look in the mirror.
Especially during seasonal changes, my skin becomes more sensitive and flaky, so retinol or functional products feel too irritating. Still, as I get older, I can't just skip anti-aging altogether... So, how on earth should someone with extremely dry skin approach anti-aging?
It feels like focusing only on moisturizing doesn't improve wrinkles, but using anti-aging products makes the dryness worse, creating a vicious cycle. Creams with a lot of oil feel heavy and suffocating, while a hydrating cream alone isn't enough.
My skin is thin and sensitive, so I'm afraid to try just any product. I also feel anxious because I've heard that "aging accelerates when skin is dehydrated." What kind of skincare routine do you all follow during this period of extreme dryness? Is there a way to address both extreme dryness and anti-aging at the same time?
I really want to take proper care of my skin this winter so it doesn't get damaged any further, but I don't know where or how to start.

- 03CommentsAfter laser hair removal, your skin can become sensitive, so moisturizing and soothing care are important. Apply a thin layer of mild, fragrance-free moisturizer, and it is best to avoid hot saunas or harsh exfoliation for the time being. Please also pay attention to sun protection when going outdoors. Care instructions may vary slightly depending on the area treated.631026.10.28
