I stayed up all night swatting mosquitoes, but my skin is still fine. Let me share a surprising soothing treatment!
Ultimately, I think skin condition is determined by the temperature the night before and your basic daily habits. Yesterday, I spent the entire night turning the lights on and off, trying to swatt away a mosquito buzzing around my ear. I didn't sleep well, so I was sure I'd have breakouts in the morning, but my complexion wasn't so bad, so I'm curious enough to ask my own skin about it. Sleep deprivation usually causes my face to heat up and become flushed, but I think washing my face with cold water between mosquito swatting sessions to cool off unexpectedly had a calming effect. Thinking about it, I think the small habits I've always taken to lower my facial temperature whenever my skin feels sensitive have paid off, even in this extreme situation. Do any of you have your own secrets for calming your skin when you've had unexpectedly trouble sleeping like me? I may be heavy and sleep-deprived, but my skin looks fine in the mirror, so I'm going to start the day feeling good. I'm really curious to know if this is just a coincidence or if it's because of the cold water washing, so please give me some tips on how you manage it when you see signs of breakouts!
