[Press] Summer Sebum & Keratin Dermatological Care

Summer Sebum and Keratin Concerns Require Customized Dermatological Care

Published in Eroun Net | August 29, 2025 | Medical Advisory: Dr. Su-Jin Eom, Chief Medical Director of Soul Plastic Surgery

During hot and humid summer months, ultraviolet rays and elevated temperatures stimulate sebaceous glands, leading to excess sebum production and thickened dead skin cells (keratin). While many individuals attempt aggressive home exfoliation or frequent scrubbing, improper self-care can damage the skin barrier and trigger secondary sensitivity or breakouts.

Key Clinical Insights from Dr. Su-Jin Eom

• Accurate Skin Barrier Diagnosis: Even when the skin surface appears oily in summer, the underlying dermis often suffers from dehydration ("inner dryness"). Treatment must begin with a precise evaluation of sebum levels, pore congestion, and barrier integrity.
• 4th-Generation LHA Peeling (Lala Peel): Unlike traditional acidic peels that strip the outer epidermis, Lala Peel combines LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) with alkaline lipids (H2Sol™) to gently dissolve dead skin cells and sebum while fortifying the skin barrier from within.
• Post-Procedure Care: After professional exfoliation and hydration management, patients should apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and use mild, pH-balanced cleansers to preserve skin balance.
