Yesterday, I got carried away by the Friday night vibe for the first time in a while and drank way too much. I originally intended to drink moderately, but while chatting with friends, I got swept up in the atmosphere and ended up drinking until dawn. I started with beer and mixed everything from soju to highballs, so I’m really feeling the aftereffects today.
I wasn't feeling well when I woke up this morning, but I was even more shocked when I looked in the mirror. My skin had completely broken out. My skin is naturally sensitive, so it shows immediately when I drink a lot, but this time it is especially severe. My entire face is red and swollen, and breakouts have flared up all at once on my chin. My skin texture is incredibly rough and oily, and while it is extremely oily on the outside, it feels dry underneath—it is truly the worst condition I’ve ever been in.
On top of that, I really regret just rushing through my cleansing routine last night because I was too lazy to do it properly and falling asleep right away. I really should have washed my face and followed my basic skincare routine properly, especially after drinking. Today, I’ve postponed all my appointments and am resting while drinking plenty of water and wearing a soothing mask. Even so, the heat in my face isn't going down.
I'm curious how everyone takes care of their skin the day after drinking. Please recommend some good soothing methods. Maybe it's because of my age, but I don't think I recover as quickly as I used to. I'm determined to drink in moderation next time.
