My skin barrier is damaged by the harsh winter winds and heaters. I tried using high-content soothing pads to repair it, but... is there a better way? - Lifestyle Habits That Affect Your Skin
How are you all coping with your face, battered by the harsh winter winds? The air is already dry, and with the direct wind from the indoor heaters, I can feel my oil-water balance completely deteriorating. Even analyzing ingredients, I find that suppressing inflammation and rebuilding the skin barrier with ingredients like panthenol and madecassoside is essential in winter, rather than simply providing moisture. I've been meticulously checking ingredient lists and applying a thick layer of cica cream, but even a single blast of wind sends me into a state of extreme redness. I'm having trouble sleeping right now, so I'm drinking a warm glass of milk. I was about to order a late-night snack earlier, but when I saw the delivery charge was 7,000 won, I immediately closed the window. I'd rather spend that money on a pack of high-content soothing pads. They say avoiding high-glycemic late-night snacks and going to bed early is the best remedy for skin in the winter, but with my eyes so drowsy, I'm at a loss as to what habits to adopt. I'm using high-concentration calming pads to get through this. What routine has been most effective for you when dealing with irritability caused by external stimuli? Please share any helpful tips, even if they're just small things like how to use high-concentration ampoules or how to improve your water intake! I'd love to learn and practice at least one more before bed.
