Skin care that comes to mind when you suddenly feel unfamiliar with your reflection in the mirror

A few days ago, I went to a really nice cafe with a friend, something I hadn't seen in a long time. Perhaps it was because the bathroom mirror was so bright, but when I looked at my face, I was shocked to see how dull and puffy it looked. Maybe it's because I've been working overtime a lot lately and my sleep patterns have been out of whack, but I didn't think I looked this tired before, which was disappointing. Maybe home care isn't enough anymore? I'm seriously considering trying professional skin care. Honestly, I usually just slather on moisturizer and go to bed early, but everyone around me seems to be investing a little more. I'm curious about what prompted you to start taking care of your skin. When I try to find a salon, there are so many options, and I'm hesitant to choose the right one for my skin type. I'm not sure if I should focus on hydration or focusing on elasticity. Has anyone else suddenly felt dissatisfied with their appearance in the mirror like I did and decided to get started with skin care? If you have any advice or tips on where to start with management, please feel free to share them.
