Please give me some of your own honey products and skin care tips.

Yesterday, I met up with some old high school friends for the first time in ages. We went to a nice cafe, took pictures, and chatted. Later, I was shocked when I saw my face in the group chat. Even though I'd put a lot of effort into my makeup, my skin looked dull and lifeless under the lights. Usually, I just used the excuse of being busy and applied a little toner and lotion, but now I felt a sense of urgency that I needed some serious skincare. So, rather than trying to figure it out on my own, I thought it would be better to get some help, so I'm writing this post. I actually searched a lot on Instagram and blogs for recommended skincare products, but there were so many ads that it was hard to tell which ones were truly effective. I want something that doesn't just moisturize, but also boosts elasticity from within and brightens my complexion. Do you have any recommendations for skincare products you've tried yourself and can confidently recommend to others? Even if it's a bit pricey, if it contains good ingredients and delivers noticeable results, I'm willing to invest. I'm a meticulous person, so once I start using a product, I tend to maintain it consistently. For those of you who value routines like I do, I'm eagerly awaiting your honest skincare recommendations. How do you all maintain your skin condition during the seasonal transition?
