Rainy Season Skin Care: Seocho Office Workers Should Check Sebum and Inner Dryness Together

Hello, this is Dr. Kyungsoo Kim, Chief Director of UHCELL Clinic Seocho branch.

During the rainy season, office workers often get caught in rain on the way to work and then spend long hours under air conditioning. The skin may look oily on the surface, yet feel tight by the afternoon.

At this time of year, sebum, moisture, and the skin barrier should be checked together.

Why can inner dryness happen when the air is humid?

Humid air does not mean the skin cannot become dry. Air conditioning can remove moisture while sweat and sebum remain on the surface.

Sebum and pores should be viewed with daily environment

Rainy days often add mask friction, hair contact, and frequent face touching. When sweat and sebum stay longer, pores can feel congested and small breakouts may appear.

Keep home care simple and observe carefully

Rather than changing many products, keep cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen stable. On sensitive days, avoid suddenly increasing strong products or exfoliation.

When can skin analysis help?

What looks like oiliness may also involve low moisture, pores, texture, and pigmentation. If the same issue repeats, specialist consultation can help decide the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I remove all oil-based products during the rainy season?

Not suddenly. Tightness and oiliness should be checked together, and texture or amount can be adjusted by individual skin response.

Can office air conditioning affect skin?

Long exposure may reduce moisture and cause tightness. Hydration, light moisturizing, and avoiding over-cleansing can help.

Is skin analysis always necessary?

Not for everyone, but it can help when the same concern repeats or when you are unsure what type of care fits your current skin.
