SILK by ADAN Autumn/Winter Dryness Care: Key Points for Protecting Your Skin

As the air starts to dry out in autumn and winter, it's a season when the skin's moisture balance can easily fall out of sync. If you've noticed changes like "my usual care isn't quite enough anymore" or "my skin feels dry when I wake up in the morning," it might be time to rethink your skincare routine.

This time, we spoke with a skincare advisor from SILK by ADAN to learn about care methods for when winter dryness becomes a concern.

What Matters Most in Your Care Routine During Dry Seasons

We're often asked, "Which items should I focus on for autumn/winter dryness care?" Layering on more toner, adding more serum, applying a thicker layer of cream… all of these are important steps, but what we especially want you to pay attention to is moisturizing with cleansing cream.

"The key is your morning and evening cleansing creamroutine"

Once you start feeling your skin getting dry, try increasing the amount of cleansing cream you use (No. 2 Treatment & Off). In autumn and winter, your skin also tends to be cooler, so the key is to warm your skin with the warmth of your hands and take more time than you would in spring and summer, gently and thoroughly working the cream into your skin.

★Tips for Morning Care

For those with light makeup or when washing your face in the morning, we also recommend skipping the tissue-off step for the cleansing cream and instead layering on more Treatment & Off, letting it roll off in little balls. This method makes it easier to avoid feeling dryness.

★Tips for Evening Care

Use plenty of cream when cleansing, and take your time working it into your skin. This step is very important.

★On Mornings When Dryness Feels Especially Noticeable

If you notice your skin feels dry right when you wake up, it's also a good idea to first apply cleansing cream, let it sit for a little while, and then start your care routine over again slowly, beginning once more with the cleansing cream.

No. 2 Treatment & Off

Use "That Moisturized Feeling" as Your Guide for Toner

It's important to layer on toner several times, working it into your skin until you feel that moisturized sensation. Try to apply toner as soon as possible after cleansing.

No. 3 Toner (Three Layer Lotion)

When room temperature is low, the ingredients in the lotion can solidify. Try warming the bottle with your body heat and shaking it well before use. If the oil doesn't mix well into the lotion even after shaking, it's fine if it comes out separated and solidified—just work it well into your palms. You can also warm it in hot water as you would with a water bath, but if the temperature is too high, more of the water-soluble ingredients may come out toward the end of use, so we recommend gently warming it with lukewarm water at about skin temperature.

How to Use Serum and Moisturizing Cream

▼Serum (Essential Serum)

Generally, an appropriate amount is fine, but for areas of particular concern like around the eyes and mouth, layer on more. If you want to boost hydration, we also recommend using it like a "serum pack"—applying a generous amount and letting it sit for a while.

*An eco-friendly tip: Even after you've used up a bottle, some serum remains that the pump couldn't draw up. Pour in some toner, shake well, and you can use it as a layering lotion for whenever you feel dryness.

Serum (Essential Serum)

▼Moisturizing Cream

During dry seasons, the key is to take care with your "cleansing" and "toner" steps. When you do these two steps thoroughly, an appropriate amount of moisturizing cream is all you need.

No. 1 Cleansing Cream / No. 4 Moisturizing Cream

How to Make the Most of Your Care Time

"The basic rule for massage is to take it slow."

You might picture cleansing massage or applying moisturizing cream as taking just 1 to 2 minutes, but we recommend taking around 5 to 10 minutes to gently work it into your skin. Taking your time and being thorough turns your care routine into a more satisfying experience. Use your palms to warm your skin and press it in with hand presses, working from your entire face down to your neck.

★About Morning and Evening Care

The order of use can be the same in the morning and evening, but adjust the amount according to your skin's condition. The amount that feels like "sufficient moisture" varies from person to person.

What matters most is taking your time and working the product in thoroughly with hand presses.This will make your care routine feel even more comfortable.
