I drank four cups of coffee today, and now my face feels so dry.

I got a shot of iced Americano as soon as I woke up this morning, drank another after lunch, and drank one after another in the afternoon because I was tired, so today my skin is in a state that looks like a complete desert.

I kept going to the bathroom but didn't drink a single sip of plain water, so it seems like all the moisture has drained from my body. Around 4 PM, my face felt so tight that even after spraying mist, it became dry again within a minute.

Because the diuretic effect causes moisture to evaporate, my complexion looks dull, and I can feel my lips burning up. I know in my head that replenishing moisture through inner beauty is the most important thing, rather than applying anything to the surface of the skin, but it is so hard to actually put that into practice. I immediately washed my tumbler thoroughly and filled it with warm water.

I'm definitely going to put on a hydrating face mask and drink plenty of water tonight. Everyone, cut down on coffee and make sure to drink bottled water!
