A working mom in her 30s's real record of today's skin condition

It's Monday already! Is everyone coping well with the Monday blues? I've been feeling pretty down since this morning because a huge pimple popped up around my chin. ㅠㅠ So, here's a record of my skin condition today! Maybe it's because my period is approaching, but my sebum production seems to have suddenly increased. My whole face is shiny, yet feels tight on the inside—it's the worst state I've ever been in. Haha.

It’s upsetting to really feel how hormonal changes show up on the skin immediately now that I’m in my 30s. Back in my 20s, a single pimple would go away quickly, but now I’m scared of scarring, and you know how long it takes for skin to regenerate, right? Today, my pores looked even wider and I felt like my skin had lost its elasticity, so I spent the whole afternoon feeling depressed looking in the mirror.

At times like this, the best course of action is to avoid irritation at all costs, so today I plan to wash my face with a mild milk-type cleanser instead of oil and apply a generous amount of Cica cream. I'm curious how you all manage your skin when your condition fluctuates periodically! Please share any good tips in the comments. Let's get through this together and find the light again!
