Recalling Dark History and Realizing the Logical Correlation Between Winter Skin Barriers

This morning, I was blushing, suddenly remembering a dark memory from a few years ago when my makeup came off and I was struggling. How do you all deal with this sudden decline in skin condition? Looking back, I realized it wasn't simply about applying expensive products; it was a complete imbalance between dead skin cells and moisture. Especially in sub-zero temperatures like these days, the humidity in the air plummets, making our skin barrier vulnerable to breakdown. So, rather than blindly applying foundation, I decided creating an optimal environment for basic skincare was the most logical option. Logically, the most important step is to normalize the dead skin cell turnover cycle without irritation, and I've found that simple home care can make a huge difference. Recently, I've adopted a specific method of locking in moisture immediately after washing my face, and I've seen a noticeable reduction in fine wrinkles and uneven skin texture caused by dryness. It seems that identifying the underlying cause and developing a customized routine is far more cost-effective in the long run than relying on intuition. I'm curious if you all have your own skin condition recovery data. If you have a foolproof morning routine or ingredient combination, please share it with us!
