This is a record of my skin condition today, as I battle against the uninvited seasonal guest, whiteheads.

Hello. Today, I'm writing this with a heavy heart, as I've been particularly reluctant to look in the mirror. Everything seemed fine until yesterday, but when I woke up, I had a bunch of small, whitehead-like pimples on my forehead and chin. It seems the sudden dry weather has completely disrupted my oil-water balance. The rough texture on my fingertips when I wash my face has been bothering me all day, and I've been struggling to hold back from touching my face. Today, I've decided to minimize irritation, skipping my usual double cleansing routine and just gently washing with a gentle cleansing milk. I'm also drastically reducing my base skincare routine, applying just one essence rich in soothing ingredients several times before heading to bed early. I sincerely hope that my irritated skin will have calmed down a little by tomorrow morning. I hope everyone takes good care of their hydration in advance so their skin doesn't suffer like mine.
