My eyes are slippery and my skin is flaky... Is there anyone else who is worried about their skin being tight like me?

I just saw the news and it looks like the roads will be completely frozen tomorrow morning... Even on my way home from work, I gripped my bag straps tightly, afraid I'd trip because the roads were so slippery, so I walked like a turtle, and now my whole body is sore this evening. I'm a worrier, so I'm scared to even go outside on days like this. But even now that I'm home, I'm not entirely at ease. With the heater always on, my eyes are dry, my lips are so dry that I can see the dead skin cells forming. At this age, even the slightest bit of cold weather makes my face feel like it's cracking, and I'm really scared to look in the mirror.

 

So after much thought, I've been trying to make some changes to my lifestyle these days. It's nothing grand, but I've been cutting back on coffee and trying to drink lukewarm water more often. Since plain water doesn't go down well, I sometimes brew weak tea. By consciously trying to fill myself from the inside out, I've noticed I feel less bloated than before. I've also made it a habit to double-check the humidifier before bed and hang an extra towel by my bedside.

 

It's snowy outside, and the roads are slippery and scary, but we need to keep our skin moisturized and hydrated. I'm worried I might be taking things too lightly. I'm curious to know what routines other members use at home to combat dryness this winter. Even if it's just a small tip, sharing it with me would be a huge comfort to someone like me!

    추운 날씨에 귀가하시느라 정말 고생 많으셨어요!  무엇보다 커피 대신 미지근한 물과 차로 안에서부터 수분을 채워주시는 그 정성이 정말 대단하시고 부러워요.  저는 자꾸 편한 것만 찾게 되는데, 님처럼 세심하게 관리하시는 분들은 확실히 속당김부터 금방 잡히실 것 같아요. 저도 오늘부터는 님 본받아서 커피 한 잔 줄여보려고요! 입술 각질 고민도 곧 촉촉하게 가라앉으시길 바랄게요!

    저도 요즘 난방 때문에 피부가 쩍쩍 갈라지는 기분이라 작성자님 글에 깊이 공감하며 읽었어요. 물 마시기와 가습기 활용처럼 기초부터 차근차근 챙기시는 모습이 정말 현명하신데, 여기에 보습 크림을 얇게 여러 번 레이어링해서 발라보시면 속당김에 더 큰 도움이 되실 거예요. 오늘도 고생 많으셨는데 따뜻하고 촉촉한 밤 보내시길 바랄게요!

    추운 날씨에 미끄러운 길 걷느라 몸도 마음도 많이 긴장하셨을 텐데, 따뜻한 차 한 잔으로 오늘 하루의 피로를 꼭 녹이셨으면 좋겠어요. 이미 생활 습관부터 세심하게 챙기고 계셔서 충분히 잘하고 계시니, 너무 걱정 마시고 기초 제품 마지막 단계에 페이스 오일을 한 방울만 섞어보시는 것도 추천해 드립니다!

    겨울은 정말 속당김이 무서워요. 찬바람 스키장에서 찬바람 셌더니 바로 당기더라고요.
