요즘처럼 찬바람 쌩쌩 부는 겨울에는 안 그래도 예민한 피부가 더 갈팡질팡하기 마련이죠. 낮에는 기름종이를 몇 장이나 써야 할 만큼 유분이 올라오는데, 정작 세안 후에는 얼굴 근육을 움직여 표정을 짓기도 힘들 만큼 속이 바싹바싹 마른다는 말씀에 제 피부가 다 따끔거리는 기분이에요. 겉은 번들거려서 지성인가 싶지만, 속에서 느껴지는 그 찢어질 듯한 당김은 정말 겪어보지 않은 사람은 절대 알 수 없는 괴로움이죠. 그동안 유분을 걷어내는 데만 집중하셨다고 하셨는데, 이제라도 피부가 보내는 살려달라는 신호를 정확히 읽어내셔서 다행이에요!
Finding the balance between oil and moisture, between shine and tightness
Those who haven't experienced it will never understand the feeling of your skin being oily and shiny on the outside, but feeling tight and tight on the inside. I'm the epitome of that "dry" type of skin, so today I'm going to check and record my skin condition to pinpoint my current issues. During the day, my skin becomes so oily that I have to use several blotting papers, but after washing my face, it's so tight that I can barely make a face. It's truly ironic.
They say this is all because your skin is lacking moisture, so it's secreting more oil to protect itself. So, starting today, rather than forcibly wiping off the oil, I'm going to focus on layering light hydrating ampoules to replenish the moisture within. As I started keeping track, I realized I'd been focusing solely on removing oil. For those of you concerned about your skin's balance, why not check your condition daily like I did and find your ideal balance?
