About that affectionate moisture that cannot be seen even when you shake out your bag on a sunset evening.

Ah...! I finally ran my fingertips through the inside of my bag, but he still didn't show his face. I didn't realize it when he was always by my side, but I guess it's only after his precious warmth has vanished that the empty space feels so numb. Outside the window, the crimson sunset hangs low, truly lyrical, but my lips, unable to withstand the indifferent autumn breeze, are chapped and parched. Thanks to my habit of meticulously analyzing ingredients, I know better than anyone how helpless the thin stratum corneum of the lips is, and this dryness hits me all the more painfully. Seeing my lips, white and chapped, deprived of all their moisture, devoid of even a single sebum gland, makes my heart flutter. Honestly, my skin has been in a rough spot these past few weeks due to the seasonal transition, so I've been putting a lot of effort into my basic skincare routine. Fortunately, I've been applying a layer of highly concentrated ceramide cream to strengthen my facial barrier, but I think neglecting my lips, the most delicate of skin types, has been the root of the problem. That lip balm, which I've been cherishing so much that I've been meaning to write a review for so long, is rich in dexpanthenol, which has an incredible soothing effect. In this season when the cold air seeps deep into my lungs, I hope you won't be as devastated by losing this precious item as I was, and instead, layer on your moisturizing products in advance. This evening, clutching my empty bag, I'm reminded anew that self-care and moisturizing is the most calming and gentle comfort.
