As it is the end of the year, I recommend a mask pack that contains my heart for the drier winter season.

Looking out the window, I see it's already well past 9:30 PM. The cold winter wind has left my face feeling chapped after leaving the heater on all day. Perhaps it's the end-of-year atmosphere, but it's the kind of time when I feel a strange sense of unease and find myself reflecting on what I've done this year. On days like this, I often start my home care routine with a warm cup of tea to clear my mind of any worries. These days, when dryness is at its peak, friends often ask me for sheet masks. I tend to choose ones that focus solely on moisturizing and soothing, rather than fancy functional options. I lightly smooth my skin with toner right after washing my face and immediately apply the sheet mask. I strictly adhere to a strict rule of thumb: I leave it on for exactly 15 minutes. Finding the right mask for your skin among the countless recommended products on the market can be challenging, but I always recommend choosing one with simple ingredients. After all, isn't it more important to put in a little effort every day to care for your skin than to resort to fancy dermatological procedures? When I think back on the list of recommended mask packs I've tried so far, I'm most satisfied with the ones containing ceramides, which help strengthen the moisture barrier. With the end of the year approaching, there are a lot of gatherings and hectic nights, but on days like today, I hope you can protect your dry winter skin with a single, thoughtful mask. I hope you all have a peaceful and restful night.
