I started looking into health functional foods because of my skin tone.
Last weekend, I attended a high school classmate's wedding for the first time in a long time. Taking pictures under the bright outdoor wedding lights, I noticed my face looked particularly dull. I thought I was taking good care of myself, diligently applying expensive functional ampoules and applying face masks frequently, but I was quite shocked to see how lifeless I looked in the pictures. My friend next to me wore a light layer of makeup, but I was envious of how her skin had a subtle glow. I asked her what her secret was, and she said that simply applying cosmetics on the surface wasn't enough, and that a deep, nourishing treatment was essential. Hearing that made me reflect on whether I'd been focusing too much on superficial skincare. So now I'm thinking about starting with proper health functional foods. With so many products on the market, it's overwhelming to choose. The price ranges and ingredient contents all vary, so I'm having to carefully consider each product. Perhaps because I'm a practical person who values value for money, I prefer products with rich ingredients and high absorption rates over expensive options. I'm curious about what health functional foods you usually consider most important when choosing them. Would something focused on moisturizing, like collagen or hyaluronic acid, be better, or something that boosts your core strength, like a multivitamin, come first? I'd love to eat everything, but as the saying goes, "too much of anything is as bad as too much," so I worry that eating too much could be a burden on my body. As a consumer who strives for reasonable consumption, could you share some health functional foods that you've found truly effective? Since they're directly going into my body, I'm especially cautious. If you have any tips or recommendations for a practical start to your inner beauty journey, please let me know. I hope you all stay healthy during this seasonal transition and have a wonderful day today.
