Sharing my skin care routine for the changing seasons

I'm sure a lot of you are struggling with your skin breaking out because of the changing seasons, right? ㅠㅠ I was also stressed recently about inner dryness and flaking, but this is the routine I finally settled on, so I wanted to share it in case it might be helpful to you!

These days, my transitional season survival routine starts with cleansing. I switched to a mildly acidic cleanser without fail to minimize irritation. I realized that protecting the moisture barrier is actually more important than scrubbing until everything feels squeaky clean, haha. Replenishing moisture is also essential. After using a toner pad as a pack for about 3 minutes, I apply a small amount of retinol mixed with the trendy PDRN cream. I can definitely feel my skin becoming softer. For the final moisturizing step, I liked that applying a thin layer of balm-type cream at the end kept my skin from feeling tight until the next morning.

My skin feels much more comfortable now that I'm just taking care of exactly what's necessary instead of going overboard lol. I hope everyone gets through the change of seasons safely!
