The story of how I finally found light after struggling with trouble (sharing my own, domestically produced, and stable items)

Seriously, my skin condition has been so bad lately that I don't even want to look in the mirror ㅠㅠ Maybe it's because I'm stressed, but my chin and cheeks are red... You know that painful breakout that you can't even squeeze? Because of that, I spend all my time covering it up with concealer every time I put on makeup... It's been a total mess ;;

I tried buying and using all the good spot products, but they only irritated my skin more and stung, and I felt like I wasted money. Haha. Then, a friend recommended it to me, so I thought I was being fooled and changed my entire routine, and it was a godsend.

If there are people like me who are sensitive and can't apply anything, Mildly acidic cleanser + cica cream Try lasting a week with just this combination. I only feel refreshed after a thorough cleansing, so I insisted on using only alkaline foams, right? But that was also eating away at my skin's protective barrier... -_- I gently rolled with cleansing milk, stopped using any functional ampoules, and went to bed with a generous layer of cica cream. In just three days, all the redness disappeared... I'm so touched.

As they say, the ultimate in tuning is to get it right. I guess the answer lies in establishing the basics first, rather than trying to show off. Now that the main fire's been extinguished, I guess I'll have to go to Maypure and get some trace management done. The scars I got from trying to fix myself at home really need the help of a professional.

How do you all treat skin irritation? Besides my own tips, I'm curious about others' know-how! Please share them in the comments. (I'd love to hear some good tips, too.)
