The story of almost opening someone's bag at a bookstore and the story of my skin recovery...
I'm so shocked and embarrassed today, I really need to tell someone. I was browsing new releases at a bookstore, and I was so focused that I almost unzipped the bag next to me, thinking it was mine. LOL. The feeling of my fingertips touching it felt weird, so I stopped immediately, and I seriously thought my face was going to explode. Right now, I'm hiding in a corner of the humanities section, smelling the books and calming myself down. Honestly, I didn't even bother coming out here today. My skin was in such a mess these past few days that I didn't even want to write about it. I had pustules popping up on my chin and cheeks, and it was hard to resist the urge to squeeze them all out. I'm a bit lazy, but this time I pulled myself together and thoroughly washed my face and applied the soothing cica ampoule. I took pictures every day to keep track of it, and thankfully, the redness has subsided a lot. As expected. Trouble calming I think the right answer is to focus on the basics without being greedy and get plenty of rest. Even if I'm lazy and want to just get by, seeing it improve makes me feel proud. If anyone is stressed out about their skin like me, just let it go, moisturize well, and wait. Just like I find healing in the scent of bookstore paper, I guess my skin needs some rest too. Now that I've calmed down a bit, I think I'll go read some books!
