The story of quitting the cleaning service and switching to the suction service (feat. Hongjo Escape)

In the past, I used to soak a cotton pad in toner and wipe my face with it. I felt a thrill when yellowish dust would come off the pad. But it wasn't until my redness worsened that I realized it was actually damaging my skin barrier.

My skin has become so sensitive that it stings whenever I apply makeup, so I boldly threw away all my cotton pads and switched to an "absorbent toner" that I apply with my hands. I gently press the product with the warmth of my hands to help it absorb, so there's no irritation, and most importantly, I waste less makeup. Haha. It's been about a month now, and the redness on my cheeks has calmed down a lot.

I think the best way to care for your skin is to avoid touching it and irritating it as much as possible. If you're someone who habitually wipes your face like I do, stop immediately and gently wrap your hands around it!
