2 liters of water and a home care routine: the key to winter skin care from an ingredient analyst's perspective.

It's 9:23 PM right now... In a room filled with the sound of a humidifier running, I'm downing the last glass of my two-liter water-a-day challenge. Forcing myself to drink a lot of water in the winter isn't just about quenching thirst; it's also a desperate attempt to boost skin metabolism. However, from a nutritional science perspective, water intake alone has clear limitations in fundamentally addressing melanin migration and deep-seated pigmentation issues below the dermis. Internal hydration is merely a foundational step, and ultimately, functional care with effective ingredients is essential. That's why, especially in my winter evening home care routine, I focus on ensuring the effective concentration and stabilization of my ingredients. I've recently added the Meladuce Ampoule to my routine, and I find the combination of ingredients quite effective. The texture is firm yet deeply infused with effective ingredients, and I can definitely see a difference in the clarity of my complexion when I wake up. While we often focus on moisturizing in the winter, it's especially crucial during this time of year to consistently incorporate whitening ingredients to prevent dullness. My current routine involves applying a thin layer to areas with noticeable blemishes and finishing with a highly nourishing cream. I feel like this routine is synergistic with the 2-liter water challenge. Knowing that these daily routines will ultimately determine your skin's condition six months from now, I persevere through the routine, even if it's a bit boring.
