These days, I'm worried about my skin care because I feel unfamiliar with my appearance in the mirror.

Last weekend, I attended a close friend's wedding for the first time in ages. Everyone was smiling and taking pictures under the bright lights, and I was shocked when I saw my face in a selfie. I used to look lively even with just a little makeup, but now I noticed my makeup was cakey and the fine lines around my eyes were more noticeable. It made me reflect on whether I'd been neglecting myself too much, using being busy as an excuse. So, I realized I really need to start taking better care of my skin. Before, I could just slather on any cream and be fine, but now my skin feels so dry inside, and it's just shiny on the outside, but it feels tight on the inside. I asked around and it seems like everyone has their own routine, so I'm going to focus on taking better care of my skin before it's too late. I feel like just applying a sheet mask every night is limiting, so I'd like to hear your advice on what kind of skincare routine you use for special occasions or seasonal changes. Do you use home care devices or get professional help? Any tips, even the smallest ones, would be greatly appreciated. Which method did you find most effective?
