My own beauty tips for oily-dehydrated skin

Hello. The weather has been fluctuating lately due to the changing seasons. Today, we even got a record-breaking late cold snap—to the point where we have to take out our winter clothes again—and on top of that, fine dust, yellow dust, and pollen are creating a triple combo that is really bad for the skin.

Especially at times like this, you need to take good care of your skin at home to maintain its condition; otherwise, it can deteriorate rapidly and take too long to recover.

I saw this on YouTube, tried it out, and liked it so much that I wanted to share an aloe pack recipe that I use frequently whenever my skin feels dry. It’s really good for combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks). And during this changing season, I think it would be beneficial to use even if you don't have that skin type. It goes without saying that aloe is good for the skin, but its most fatal flaws are that it really contains nothing but moisture and dries out so quickly that it actually draws moisture away. This pack, however, completely eliminates those downsides and highlights only the advantages.

First, apply a generous amount of aloe vera gel that suits you to your face. It dries out quickly if you do just that, but the tip here is a cotton pad.

You know those thin, single-layer cotton pads used for skin packs? Silcot pads are the most famous, but since there are many similar products available these days, you can use any single-layer pad. Just wet one with water, squeeze out the excess, place it over your face where you have the aloe vera on, and then apply another layer of aloe vera on top. It keeps your skin from drying out and really replenishes moisture, which is so good. After doing this, my skin becomes clearer, and it hydrates and soothes dead skin cells. It’s just wonderful.

Give it a try.
