seasonal transition-weeks regular routine + sleeping mask + humidifier
Winter Onddol (Floor-Heating) Routine · 겨울 온돌 루틴
Also called: Korean winter · floor-heated dryness · 겨울 건조 · 온돌 피부 관리
When this routine applies
Korean winter combines outdoor cold (-5 to -15°C) with onddol floor heating that dries indoor air to 20–30% humidity. Skin loses moisture in both environments. Routine focuses on heavy hydration + occlusive layering + indoor humidification.
한국어 설명
한국 겨울 — 영하 5~15°C 외부 + 온돌이 실내 습도 20~30%까지 건조. 안팎 모두 피부 수분 손실. 루틴은 강한 보습 + 폐색제 레이어링 + 실내 가습.
What to use
Switch to balm or cream cleanser. Layer hydrating toners (7-skin method). Ceramide + squalane moisturizer. Sleeping mask 3-4x/week. Humidifier indoors (target 40-50%). Lip balm always. Mineral sunscreen on snow days (UV reflects off snow).
한국어 설명
클렌저는 밤·크림 형으로. 보습 토너 다층 (7-스킨). 세라마이드 + 스쿠알란 크림. 슬리핑 마스크 주 3~4회. 실내 가습기 (목표 40~50%). 립밤 상시. 눈 오는 날 물리적 선크림 (눈에 자외선 반사).
What to avoid
Long hot showers strip skin further. Heavy retinol use during peak winter without aggressive moisture-layering buffer leads to barrier flares. Don’t skip sunscreen — winter UV is real, especially with snow reflection.
한국어 설명
긴 뜨거운 샤워는 피부 더 벗김. 한겨울에 강한 레티놀 + 강한 보습 버퍼 없으면 장벽 플레어. 선크림 생략 X — 겨울 자외선 진짜 있음, 눈 반사로 더 강함.
