Appearance reflected in the sunlight by the window and skincare.

Last weekend, I visited a small gallery in the city center to meet up with high school friends for the first time in a while. The bright afternoon light was truly lovely, but as I looked at my reflection next to the artwork on the wall, I could clearly see the traces of time. When I was younger, I was quite indifferent, relying solely on my natural skin texture. Now, however, I felt a strange mix of emotions, wondering if it is time to start taking better care of my skin for the sake of the reflection in the mirror. Lately, tiny streaks have been appearing around my eyes, and my skin doesn't have the same elasticity as before, so looking in the mirror sometimes feels unfamiliar. I would love to take meticulous care of my skin every day, but I find myself constantly putting it off, using my busy daily life as an excuse. Still, I suppose everyone wants to age gracefully, right? Perhaps that is why I feel that cultivating health that wells up from within, rather than focusing on outward glamour, is the true way to love oneself. I suddenly wonder what kind of skincare time you all spend entirely dedicated to yourselves during the day. Even if it isn't a special secret, could you share any small habits you practice in your daily life that clear your mind? Every single piece of heartfelt advice will be a great source of encouragement and wisdom to me. I hope everyone has a warm and peaceful day.
