This is how I check my skin condition these days!

These days, after washing my face in the morning, I start by looking in the mirror and checking the condition of my skin.

I used to just let it slide... but now that I'm in my 30s, my skin condition really affects my mood for the day. ㅠㅠ

My skin hasn't had any major issues lately, but perhaps because it's winter, I feel like my skin is generally dry. The difference between days I get a good night's sleep and days I don't is quite noticeable.

So these days, I tend to secretly keep a record of things like whether my skin feels tight or my makeup is flaking off.

If I wake up feeling particularly dry, I think, "I must have drank too little water last night." On days when my skin feels dull, I immediately think, "Oh, I slept too late last night." In the past, I didn't know why, so I just changed products. But now that I know the root cause, my skincare routine has become simpler.

It's hard to say if it's dramatically improved, but at least I feel like I'm not going through the motions without noticing the condition of my skin. These days, I'm observing and documenting my skin, rather than just managing it. I feel like this level of attention is the perfect way to care for my age.
