I was suddenly startled by my reflection in the mirror. Skin care

Last weekend, I met up with some old classmates for the first time in ages and went to a very sunny cafe. Everyone was so happy, we chatted for a while, and then I happened to stand in front of the bathroom mirror, and oh my, I didn't look like the person I usually saw at home. Seeing myself under the bright lights, the wrinkles around my eyes and the loss of elasticity around my mouth were so obvious, it was heartbreaking. I'd always thought applying a good cream was enough, but now I realize I need a truly systematic skincare routine. My friends already go to professional salons or use expensive beauty devices, and I'm a little upset that I've been so complacent. While the passage of time is natural, I can't help but yearn for a healthier, more youthful appearance. So, starting today, I'm researching and reading reviews to find the perfect skincare routine for me. But with so many different methods and information out there, it's hard to know where to start. What kind of skincare routine do you recommend, especially during the changing seasons? If you have any small habits you've been practicing consistently at home or any methods you'd like to recommend, could you please share them with us?
