I took the plunge and got laser toning.

Every time I looked in the mirror, the freckles and blemishes on my cheekbones bothered me so much that I finally took the plunge and emptied my savings to sign up for a 10-session laser toning package. Honestly, I thought my face would turn as white as jade after one laser treatment, since I'd already paid the money.

But guess what... After my first treatment, I looked in the mirror and my face was as red as a burning sweet potato, and I was really shocked to see that my skin was incredibly tight. The director strongly advised me, "When you use the laser, the heat gets trapped in your skin, which temporarily dries it out tremendously. If you don't moisturize, your pigmentation will get worse." Hearing that, I suddenly realized I was wasting money.

So these days, my daily routine is an endless cycle of 'regeneration cream' and 'sunscreen'. Even when I'm at home, I reapply the regeneration cream every three hours for fear of losing moisture, and even when I go to the convenience store in front of my house, I wear a hat, parasol, and mask. Other people might think I have the celebrity disease, but I'm desperate to protect my skin right now. I live in constant fear that all the money and hard work I've put in will go to waste if I don't take care of it.

Fortunately, after about a week, the scabs naturally fell off, and when I washed my face, my skin tone was noticeably clearer! I guess this is why I spent so much money. The road to beauty is long and arduous. It takes money, time, and dedication. Still, seeing the blemishes gradually fading away, I find strength in applying the regenerative cream today. Skin doesn't lie; it really does pay for itself!
