I'll tell you about my winter home care routine!

When winter arrives, with its biting winds, I desperately feel the need for a strong protective layer, just like I wear thick clothing. Because the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is so extreme, even the slightest neglect can quickly lead to redness and flaking. I used to think the answer was to just slather on a bunch of products, but this only led to breakouts and minimal results. After much trial and error, I've settled on a reliable home care routine that soothes my sensitive winter skin.

My method is to reduce the number of steps and focus solely on moisturizing and strengthening the skin barrier. First, I gently wash my face with a mildly acidic cleanser. Then, without using a towel, I immediately apply a highly concentrated ampoule while my skin is still slightly damp. It's important not to apply the ampoule all at once, but to apply it in two thin layers to prevent any dryness. Then, I finish my home care routine by applying a thick layer of a thick cream that balances the oil and moisture levels, creating a protective layer to prevent moisture evaporation.

If you apply too many products, your skin will naturally spit them out, but this one replenishes just the moisture and nutrients it needs, so there's no need to worry about breakouts, and it stays moisturized until the next morning. Since I've been consistently practicing this home care routine, investing just 10 minutes every evening after washing my face, my base makeup in the morning feels more absorbed and doesn't come off. It's also noticeably smoother to the touch. Consistency is key when it comes to skin care, not spending a fortune. What do you do to combat dryness in the winter?
