I didn't apply sunscreen when I went out for just a moment...
The weather outside was a bit cloudy this afternoon, so I thought the sunlight wouldn't be strong. I went to the mart in front of my house, but I was too lazy to bring and apply sunscreen.
I went out for about thirty minutes with just a hat pulled down low and no makeup on, and when I came back and looked in the bathroom mirror to wash my hands, I saw that both my cheeks were flushed red like a beet.
I resent myself so much for carelessly letting my guard down, thinking it would be okay since it was only for a very short time, even though I knew perfectly well in my head that ultraviolet rays penetrate the clouds even on cloudy days.
My skin is usually as thin as tissue paper and very sensitive, so it turns red and melanin rises quickly even with just a little exposure to strong sunlight, and I made another huge mistake today.
I hurriedly washed my face and applied soothing toner, but I felt a slight stinging sensation on the surface of my skin and a severe throbbing heat, so I think I definitely need to get an emergency skin soothing treatment tonight.
I took out the chilled aloe soothing gel that I had kept in the corner of my vanity, applied it very thickly all over my reddened face like a mask pack, and am eagerly waiting for the heat to escape from my skin.
Fortunately, after applying aloe gel for about thirty minutes, the redness subsided a lot compared to before, but I am extremely worried that the melasma pigmentation hidden deep within my skin might surface more intensely.
Starting tomorrow, I need to apply plenty of vitamin whitening ampoules for at least a few days to ensure that melanin pigments do not accumulate and turn black. I will take extra special care of my skin at home with great care.
Today, I am once again deeply and painfully engraving in my heart the beauty truth that I must apply sunscreen meticulously 365 days a year, regardless of the weather or the time I go out.
