After looking at the photos I took while on an outing for the first time in a while, I decided that I should buy some skin care products.

I met up with some old high school friends for the first time in a while and went to a beautiful, sunny cafe. Everyone looked as beautiful as ever, which was a delight. But later, when I stopped by the bathroom and looked in the large mirror, I noticed that the blemishes on my face were particularly noticeable. I hadn't noticed them under the lights at home, but under the bright natural light, I was really bothered by the dark spots around my eyes, which was frustrating. I think it's time to get a proper blemish control product and apply it consistently, morning and night. I used to think that simply applying sunscreen was enough, but I guess the passage of time is unavoidable. I've asked people around me, and they all have different recommendations, so I'm having a hard time deciding which product to choose. Are there any blemish control products that won't irritate my skin but will deeply nourish and moisturize my skin? I'm curious if anyone has experienced the benefits of suddenly darkening blemishes like I have. If you could recommend a blemish control product that's gentle on the skin and has proven effective, rather than pricey, I'd be truly grateful. How do you soothe and care for your tired skin after going out?
