My personal whitening routine for dull winter skin
It's past 11 a.m., and my face feels parched, perhaps because of the heater. My throat feels particularly stuffy today, so I regret wearing a turtleneck sweater. I looked in the mirror, surprised to see that my complexion is darker than my clothes. Seeing the spots appearing one by one makes me realize how much I've neglected my skin. Honestly, I've been neglecting my skincare routine in the winter because I thought the sunlight was too weak, but now is the time for a proper whitening routine. For now, I've started with my high-potency vitamin C ampoule. I'm worried about irritation, but I'd rather feel a slight sting than a dull complexion. The key to my whitening routine, based on my critical assessment, is hydration. Overdosing on whitening ingredients can dry out your skin further, so I always apply a sheet mask containing whitening ingredients twice a week, followed by a highly moisturizing cream. Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm reminded every time that a clear skin tone looks far more luxurious than heavy makeup. From today on, I'm going to stick to this whitening routine without fail. Rather than relying on flashy products, I'll focus on the ingredients and brighten my complexion. I encourage you all to take an objective look at your face in the mirror. Timing is everything when it comes to skincare.
