As soon as I opened my eyes this morning and looked in the mirror, I immediately noticed that my overall skin condition was not good. My face looked duller than usual, and the areas under my eyes and around my cheeks felt slightly dry and rough. Dryness had set in to the point where I could feel tightness even before washing my face, and upon closer inspection, I saw small flakes of dead skin appearing here and there.
I don't think I overexerted myself yesterday, but perhaps due to the recent weather, my skin felt like its balance was off. The dryness seemed even more pronounced after washing my face, so I decided I needed to pay a little more attention to my basic skincare than usual. I focused on soothing my skin by layering toner several times and applying plenty of hydrating essence and cream.
I felt that especially at times like this, it is important to stick to the basics rather than trying to apply too many different products. Today, I plan to keep my makeup as light as possible and use a mist occasionally to try and improve my skin condition, even just a little. I hope to see my skin in some better condition by the end of the day.
