It's 1 p.m., a drowsy time after lunch. I took a break to watch YouTube and watched a video from my favorite beauty YouTuber. It felt like my skin concerns were being thoroughly analyzed, and I was completely conscious. When I looked in the mirror, my makeup was already flaking, perhaps from the heater, and my skin was feeling incredibly tight. I realized it wasn't just a problem with the products I was applying, but rather a flaw in my lifestyle itself. The biggest thing I'd overlooked was my hydration habits. Because it was cold, I'd been drinking hot coffee after hot coffee, but I hadn't even had a single glass of plain water, which would actually be delivering water to my skin cells. The idea that low water retention is like pouring water into a bottomless pit, no matter how much nutrient-rich cream you apply, really resonated with me. I immediately filled a tumbler with water. It also made me reconsider the temperature of the water I wash my face with. I'd been feeling the cold so much that I'd habitually used hot water. I knew this was the main culprit, destroying my skin barrier and causing moisture loss, but I'd been too lazy to notice. The video states that maintaining indoor humidity at 40-60% determines the absorption rate of cosmetic ingredients. I had left the office humidifier unattended because it wasn't working properly, but I immediately moved it, analyzed the humidification efficiency, and finished setting it up. Ultimately, these little things are as important as expensive treatments or cosmetics. Management Tips It seems to be meticulously incorporated into real life. If you are concerned about your tired skin in the mirror on a lazy afternoon, I recommend checking the holes in your lifestyle habits before applying cosmetics.
