When I came back home after going out during the day and looked in the mirror while washing my hands, I felt relieved to see that my face looked less dry and rough than before. As of today, the 6th day of my skin condition record, the severe dryness that had been bothering me for the past few days felt like it had subsided quite a bit. In particular, my cheeks felt less tight than before, so I felt like my face finally looked like a human face.
However, there was something else that caught my eye. When I smiled, the corners of my mouth seemed to look drier for no reason, and the fine lines felt more prominent. I found myself staring closely in the mirror, wondering if I should moisturize more.
As of day 6 of my skin condition log, my overall skin condition has improved, but I think I need to pay a little more attention to the dryness around my mouth. Believing that consistency is the most important thing, I plan to apply a generous amount of cream before going to bed tonight.
