I was going through my old blogpost from 2016 and saw how much my skincare game has changed. A lot has changed. My skin type, my routine, my approach--everything. It has certainly been a learning curve, especially now that I'm in a new continent. It's my first winter and so much has changed from the way I approached my skin health.
The way I approached my skincare then is so much different from how I approach it now. Now it's more self-care than anything else. I have also shifted my routine to K-beauty. I thought that I have been using products designed for people who have never understood Asian skin, they also have never lived in a hot and humid country. While Korean and Japanese beauty does not cater much to humidity as well, their perspectives of skincare is more or less in line with what I hope to achieve. Japanese, for example, is more ritualistic. They stick to what works. Korean beauty, on the other hand, is more innovative but really focused on hydrating and evening things out.
