After meeting my old classmates for the first time in a while, I find myself worrying about my skin.

Last weekend, I met up with my high school friends for the first time in a long while. It’s hard to see them because everyone is so busy with their careers, but we lost track of time chatting away as we got together. However, when I got home and looked in the mirror under the bright living room lights to remove my makeup, I noticed a distinct difference from how I used to look. In my 20s, my skin seemed firm and supple even with just casual skincare, but now I feel a desperate need for systematic skin care. Especially around my eyes and mouth, the dryness makes fine wrinkles stand out, which makes looking in the mirror a bit upsetting. So, I’m really struggling to decide whether to buy home care devices or consistently visit a professional skin care salon. My acquaintances are already getting treatments and taking thorough care of their skin; have I been too complacent? My skin feels even drier due to the change of seasons, so I’m even thinking about completely overhauling my basic skincare products. I’m curious how you all are managing your skincare during times like these. Do you have any tips or recommendations from those who have faced similar concerns?
