The bare face of my pores reflected on the off monitor screen. I analyzed it properly today and it was quite a sight.

After staring at the monitor all day, I turned off the screen for a moment, and the reflection of my face was, to put it bluntly, a spectacle. Working from home, I rarely go out and don't wear makeup, so I thought my skin would breathe and improve. But the reality is the opposite, and it's disheartening. Especially on a sunny afternoon, when I look in the mirror, the sagging skin around my butterfly zone looks even more pronounced than usual. Perhaps the dry air from indoor heating all day long, the moisture evaporates from my skin in real time, leaving only oil behind, leading to a loss of elasticity and enlarged pores. Simply applying a cooling pack isn't going to solve this problem. Looking back at the ingredients list, I see a desperate need for concentrated ingredients like niacinamide to control excess sebum production and peptides to firm pore walls. After all, cosmetics aren't about emotions; they're about combining data and ingredients. Tonight, I'm going to reset my skin's pH with a mildly acidic cleanser and then rewrite my skin history with a toner containing third-generation PHA, which helps exfoliate dead skin cells. My complacency about staying home has probably destroyed my skin barrier, so today, I'll need to finish my routine by being more meticulous about the ingredients.
