Hello, this is YS Lab.

“I want to have beautiful skin.”

Because you feel that way, many of you are likely working hard on your daily skincare.

If you are concerned about dryness, you layer on moisturizing items. If you are concerned about pores, you wash your face thoroughly. If you are concerned about roughness, you exfoliate.

All of these are actions taken because you want to cherish your skin.

However, the care you continue to do thinking it is good may actually be
burdening your skin without you realizing it.

This season, when dryness begins to be a concern, is
a time when you especially want to protect your skin’s barrier function.
This time, I will introduce three habits you should reconsider.

Skin has an inherently equipped barrier function

Our skin is equipped with a “barrier function” to protect itself from external stimuli and
maintain moisture.

The “stratum corneum,” which is the outermost layer of the skin, plays this important role.

The stratum corneum has the functions of:

as well.

Also, intercellular lipids that fill the spaces between keratinocytes, and the sebum film that covers the skin surface, work to maintain skin moisture and
protect it from external stimuli.

In other words, the stratum corneum is not dirt, but a “lid” that protects the skin. Because the stratum corneum is created in the process of being reborn through turnover, it is also important not to remove more of the stratum corneum that protects the skin than necessary.

Habit to reconsider ① Are you washing too much?

Are you washing your face multiple times or using products with strong cleansing power in an attempt to thoroughly remove dirt?

Over-washing can remove even the sebum necessary for the skin,
leading to dryness.

The points to reconsider are the number of times you wash and the cleansing power of the products you are using. Please look back and see if you are removing too much of the necessary sebum.

Habit to Reconsider 2: Are you exfoliating too much?

Are you frequently using scrubs or exfoliating toners because you are concerned about rough or uneven skin texture?

Dead skin cells are necessary to protect your skin.

The point to reconsider is to stop trying to force them off and instead
value your skin’s natural shedding process.

Habit to Reconsider 3: Are you touching your skin too much?

Are you patting on toner repeatedly or rubbing your skin hard during massage?

Even care you think is good for you
can cause friction and irritation that burdens your skin.
Your skin does not necessarily get more beautiful the more you handle it.

The point to reconsider is the frequency and pressure of your touch.
Try to be conscious of touching your skin gently.

Skincare that values your skin’s natural functions

What YS Lab values is
focusing on the burden placed on the skin
and thinking about necessary care in a simple way.

When you have skin concerns, you tend to want to add something.

But what does your skin really need?
Is there anything that is becoming a burden?

Why not reconsider your daily skincare from that perspective?

Because you want beautiful skin, don’t try too hard.

While valuing the barrier function your skin naturally possesses,
I hope you can continue with care that suits your own skin.

3 Habits to Reconsider Starting Today
□ Reconsider the frequency of washing and the strength of your cleanser
□ Reconsider the frequency of scrubs and exfoliating care
□ Do not rub too hard when patting or massaging

Was there any care you were doing that you “thought was good”?

South Korean men are increasingly turning to dermatological clinics and aesthetic procedures as men skin care shifts from a niche interest into an essential part of daily grooming. Content about skincare routines, shaving laser treatments, and facial lifting procedures has gone mainstream, drawing millions of views on platforms like YouTube.

The global trend known as ‘Bro Beauty’ highlights how men are now treating skin maintenance not as an extraordinary effort, but as a routine self-care practice. A recent survey by OpenSurvey targeting 2,000 men aged 20 to 59 revealed that 36.5% of respondents had undergone aesthetic procedures, with the highest adoption rate seen among men in their 30s at 44.5%. Interestingly, the experience rate for men in their 40s reached 37.6%, outpacing the 20s demographic at 30.7%.

As interest expands into advanced anti-aging options like ultrasound lifting treatments, brands are responding with targeted campaigns featuring high-profile athletes and celebrities. However, despite the growing openness to discussing skincare regimens, many men still favor subtle enhancements. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons refers to this as ‘Undetectable Work,’ emphasizing a natural look that refreshes one’s appearance without obvious signs of cosmetic intervention.

You take care of your face, hair, and skin every day, but what about your ears?

In fact, the ears are also affected by sebum, sweat, and dryness.

Surprisingly few people consciously care for their earlobes and the area behind their ears.

In this article, we will introduce five care habits that are easy to incorporate into your daily life, focusing on “ear beauty and health,” which we often don’t think about.

1. Moisturize your earlobes and the area around your ears

Even if you use lotion or milky lotion on your face, few people moisturize their ears.

Your earlobes and the area around your ears are also part of your skin.

When you are concerned about dryness, try using a small amount of the low-irritation moisturizing cream you usually use.

Recommended care

• Gently apply moisturizing cream to your earlobes

• Check if the base of your ears and the surrounding area are dry

• Apply gently without rubbing

However, avoid applying cream inside the ear canal.

2. It is important not to overdo ear cleaning

When you want to clean your ears, you might be tempted to clean them thoroughly with a cotton swab.

But actually, earwax plays a role in protecting the inside of the ear.

Cleaning your ears too much can damage the inside of your ears or push earwax deeper inside.

Points for ear cleaning

• Gently wipe the entrance of the ear and the visible area

• Do not insert cotton swabs deep into the ear

• There is no need to clean them every day

• If you feel discomfort inside your ear, do not force a cleaning

When cleaning your ears, it is more important to “not overdo it” than to “remove everything completely.”

3. Relaxing time with a massage around the ears

Gently pinching your earlobes or softly touching the area around your ears is also recommended as a daily relaxation habit.

Try taking a little time for this after a bath or while doing your skincare routine.

Simple ear area care

1. Gently pinch your earlobes

2. Move them lightly without causing pain

3. Gently stroke the area around the base of your ears with your fingertips

There is no need to pull hard or massage them forcefully.

Do not expect effects like a smaller face or improved facial sagging; incorporate this strictly as a habit for relaxation.

4. Don’t forget to wash behind your ears

The area behind the ears is surprisingly easy to overlook.

Sebum, sweat, and dirt can remain behind the ears.

This is a spot to be particularly mindful of, especially for those with long hair or those who use hair styling products.

Recommended care

• Gently wash behind your ears while bathing

• Ensure no shampoo or facial cleanser residue remains

• Wipe away moisture with a soft towel after bathing

There is no need to rub strongly.

If you do this while washing your face or bathing every day, you won’t need any special tools.

5. Be mindful of how you use earphones

When we think of ear beauty, we tend to imagine skincare, but the health of the ears themselves is also important.

Recently, there have been more opportunities to use earphones and headphones.

Listening to music at high volumes for long periods can affect your hearing.

Habits to protect your ears

• Do not turn the volume up too high

• Do not use them continuously for long periods

• Take off your earphones occasionally to let your ears rest

• Keep the parts of the earphones that touch your ears clean

To continue enjoying your favorite music for a long time, you should develop habits that take care of your ears.

Summary | Ear care is also an investment in your future beauty

In this article, we introduced ear beauty and health, which we don’t usually pay much attention to.

Let’s look back at these five points.

If you experience pain, itching, discharge, or difficulty hearing in your ears, do not force self-care and consult an otolaryngologist.

When it comes to beauty, we tend to focus on our face, hair, and skin.

However, it may be important to pay a little attention to areas we don’t usually think about.

Small daily care habits will lead to the future you.
