My anticipated shopping trip didn't go as planned, but I'm sharing a little secret that saved my skin.

It's late at night, and the winter wind blows fiercely outside the window. It's already well past 11:00, and no matter how much I turn up the boiler, I can't seem to hide that chilly winter air. Sitting quietly with a warm cup of tea, I feel some of the day's fatigue wash away. Meanwhile, the neighbor's dog barked briefly, wondering what was wrong, but then quickly quieted down. Actually, I just had a really suffocating experience. I'd been contemplating buying a winter knit for days, and it finally arrived. But when I tried it on, the color was dull and the material was so rough that my skin turned red the moment it touched it. Ultimately, I pushed my bitter feelings aside and pressed the return button. I'm feeling a bit empty after my failed purchase, but I'm trying to soothe my mind by sharing my personal skincare routine that keeps my skin feeling fresh even in these harsh winds. It's more important to utilize the basic products you already have than to buy something new. I apply a very thin layer of moisturizing ampoule three times immediately after washing my face, before it's completely dry. The key is to apply it little by little, rather than applying a lot all at once. And in the final step, I mix just one drop of facial oil with my moisturizing cream and wrap my entire face. This way, the moisture doesn't evaporate, even in the cold air. I might have to return the clothes, but I'm thankful that this little habit keeps my skin healthy. How about listening to your skin a little more carefully tonight? My heart may be cold, but I hope you all have a warm and comfortable night.
