My own analytical routine to overcome dryness on a midwinter night when ventilation is difficult.
It's well past 11 p.m., and the air inside is incredibly stuffy. Because it's so cold, I haven't been able to properly ventilate the room today, and the trapped air inside feels like it's slowly stripping my skin of moisture. It's important to note that even using a humidifier only temporarily moistens the surface of the dryness, not addressing the underlying cause. My data analysis of skin changes over time has shown that, especially in the low-humidity winter months, the internal environment is more important than the number of cosmetics applied. So, I've been diligently following a set nightly home care routine. First, I drink a glass of lukewarm water to promote blood circulation. Then, considering absorption, I take liquid collagen with small molecules and antioxidants. Analyzing the ingredient list reveals that the correlation between fasting time and the presence of coenzymes that aid absorption is far more effective than simply increasing the amount. This method of replenishing the skin from within makes a significant difference in the skin barrier's ability to withstand the heat of the heater the next morning. While the air may be stuffy, a day like this with thorough care feels like a sense of well-being. Have a good night everyone.
