The aftereffects of a late-night Pilates session... What scalp care ampoules do you all use?

It is late. I hope everyone is having a restful night... I have absolutely no idea where I put the lip balm I left in the living room, so my lips are parched tonight. Perhaps because the weather is cold and the heater has been running all day, my skin looks noticeably rough and my complexion looks dull, so I spent quite a while standing in front of the mirror. Especially now that I’ve entered my 40s, I wonder why melasma and blemishes stand out so much... So, starting last month, I revamped my own whitening routine and have been consistently practicing it. I begin by applying a generous amount of a high-vitamin ampoule after cleansing. In fact, it is easy to neglect whitening in winter because hydration is the priority, but I’ve found that paying more attention to a whitening routine is necessary to achieve a clear complexion, especially when it is dry. I enhance the effectiveness of my whitening routine by applying a moisturizing cream after the ampoule to lock in moisture. After putting in the effort for about a month, I have definitely started hearing people say my face looks brighter. I wrote this ramblingly in the middle of the night, but... if there are any of you out there who sigh at your reflection in the mirror like I did, I encourage you not to give up and to start today at your own pace.
