Winter Skin Care
Winter dryness and flaking: How Taeyeon, Choo Ja-hyun, and Go Hyun-jung care for their skin
When winter begins, skin is the first to send an SOS. The face feels tight after washing, foundation flakes, and white scales appear around the cheeks and nose no matter what is applied. Just a few hours in a heated room can leave skin cracked and stinging. Severe dryness breaks down the barrier, causing itching and redness and sometimes developing into dermatitis or psoriasis. Moisturizing then is not merely preparation for good makeup: it is a defense of skin health. In winter, when skin can crack without any provocation, how do celebrities with busy filming schedules survive this harsh dry season?
1. Protect the barrier! Apply often and in layers. Singer Taeyeon said on her YouTube channel that she never skimps on basic skincare. Rather than piling on many different products, she builds a substantial layer of moisturizer with gentle ingredients. She applies it immediately after cleansing, then reapplies whenever she feels dry to maintain a consistent moisture film. This routine helps protect the barrier. However, repeatedly applying overly heavy products can block pores or cause breakouts, so checking the ingredients is necessary.
2. Hydrate with one mask a day. Choo Ja-hyun said on “PDC by PDC” that she has used one mask a day since masks first became popular. She has long kept a routine of applying a sheet mask immediately after cleansing and says she clearly began noticing benefits in her mid-thirties. Sheet masks quickly deliver moisture and soothing ingredients. However, daily use can make fragrances or preservatives irritating, and excessive hydration can disrupt the oil balance. They can help during severely dry winters, but adjusting frequency to the skin's response is safer.
3. Complete moisture defense with collagen mist. Go Hyun-jung is known for spraying mist as soon as she feels dry. The product she introduced on her channel as a “habitual mist” uses a fine spray to create a light moisture film without touching the skin and can go straight over makeup, attracting major attention immediately after launch. Mist helps supply moisture instantly, but alcohol-containing products can worsen dryness. If it does not absorb sufficiently after spraying, surface moisture may evaporate quickly and cause tightness, so care with application is needed.
What if regular care feels bothersome or home care is not delivering results?
For severe dryness, procedures that directly replenish moisture inside the skin are the most certain solution. Super Miracle Hydration Injection first delivers hyaluronic acid deep into the dermis to increase water-storage capacity. Unlike a topical moisturizer, it brings plump volume and natural radiance from within. This is also why celebrities with frequent shoots prefer it.
If severe barrier damage causes persistent inner tightness, combining regenerative treatment such as Royal Rejuran can help. It restores the damaged barrier, reduces moisture loss and adds vitality and elasticity. Clearing dead cells and sebum first with Aqua Peel increases absorption of subsequent injection treatments and smooths the surface. This staged approach can offer a reset effect that raises hydration and elasticity together even in a short period.
Recently, Re2O treatment using human-derived dermal tissue has also attracted attention as an alternative for extremely dry skin. It is regarded as steadily improving moisture retention even when ordinary hydration injections or Rejuran have been slow to improve dryness, emerging as an effective option for people troubled by chronic dryness.
Winter skin can break down easily from even a little dryness. Following everyday moisturizing habits like celebrities' routines and adding professional hydration treatments when needed can maintain healthy skin even in midwinter.
