When summer pores and texture look rough: What to check before consultation

Hello, this is Dr. Kim Kyung-soo, Chief Physician at UHCELL Clinic Seocho branch.

In summer, patients often say their makeup sits unevenly and texture looks rough. It is not always a pore-only issue.

Pores should not be blamed on one cause

Rough skin after outdoor activity may not come from UV exposure alone. Heat, sweat, and friction can disturb the skin barrier.

Skin analysis and daily patterns matter together

I look at the texture around pores, not only pore size. Oil, dead skin, sleep, and air conditioning time can change the plan.

The order matters more than the procedure name

A consultation decides whether calming, oil and keratin control, or texture care should come first. Important schedules require a conservative plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I get a procedure right away if pores look larger?

It is better to check oil, dead skin, heat, and skin thickness first.

Can I exfoliate often in summer?

If the skin stings or looks red, strong exfoliation is not recommended.

When should I consult before an important event?

Recovery reactions and the full schedule should be considered together.
