My skin was okay today, but the dryness around my mouth was really bad.

To sum up my skin condition today in one word, it was decent, but it left me with some regrets. I didn't have any breakouts or severe redness overall, but the areas around my mouth and chin were particularly dry, which was a bit uncomfortable.

I felt it a little bit right from the moment I started applying makeup this morning. When I applied the cushion, the corners of my mouth looked a bit cakey. I'm not sure if it's because of the weather these days, but even when I think I've applied enough moisturizer, I feel like dryness kicks in at some point.

But there were good points too. The tiny bumps that had recently appeared on my forehead seem to have calmed down a bit. I found myself checking up close in the mirror for no reason, haha. Since my skin tends to take a long time to recover once it flares up, just seeing it calm down makes a huge difference.

My skin didn't get particularly sensitive during the day. Lately, I haven't been using new cosmetics and have been sticking to a fixed routine as much as possible, and I definitely feel like my skin is stabilizing. I think sticking to familiar products suits me better than needlessly switching things up.

I plan to apply a slightly thicker layer of cream before going to bed tonight. I hope my skin feels a bit more comfortable tomorrow, without any dryness.
