My own winter home care begins on a quiet, windy night, soothing chapped lips.

It's a calm evening, with the cold winter breeze gently rustling outside the window. I glance at the clock: it's already well past eight o'clock. Perhaps the air in the house is a little dry today, but my lips are parched and I find myself reapplying lip balm. Seeing my chapped lips in the mirror makes me feel a little tingly, so I'm going to devote more attention to my skin today than usual. On days like this, it's the small acts of kindness I do at home that can be so empowering. First, I briefly warm my face with a warm, damp washcloth, which feels wonderful as it gently opens up my stiff skin and muscles. Then, I apply a thicker layer of nourishing cream and gently sweep it along my face, feeling the traces of a tiring day wash away, bringing me peace of mind. While I can't stop the passage of time, I think this time of self-care is a warm comfort to myself. Especially in this season, it's crucial to make a habit of thoroughly moisturizing not only my face but also my neck. Even if it seems like nothing, these small, consistent efforts add up to a clear complexion. Even though it's still cold outside, this quiet time in my room, under the warm lights, feels truly precious. I hope all of you will also find a little time to take care of yourself on these dry winter nights.
