Face care from trial and error for one year

1 Year Face Care Review: From Use Only Face Mask to Boost Moisturizer and Sunscreen

Over the past about a year, I've been experimenting with three different ways to see which one gives the best results for my skin. The main products are Sleeping Mask or Leave-on Mask and sunscreen.

Pattern 1: Face mask only

In the early stages, I used only a regular no-wash face mask cream. The obvious result was that the facial skin was softer and more moist-looking than before I started using it.

However, some problems remain:

* The pores still look wide.

* Periodically bleeding acne

* Face skin looks dull during the day

* The overall radiance has not changed much.

Although the skin is softer, it still feels that the skin is not as strong or balanced as needed.

Pattern 2: Face Mask + Sunscreen

After that, I added sunscreen to my routine, still using the same face mask.

The results were considered noticeably better.

* Brighter skin

* The skin is soft and moist.

* Facial skin does not tarnish or drop during the day.

* Feel the skin stronger

Although the problem of wide pores and pimples persists somewhat, the overall skin type looks much better compared to the use of face masks alone.

This experience made me realize that sunscreen is an important step not to be overlooked, because it protects the skin from external factors that can hurt the skin each day.

Pattern 3: Face Mask + Moisturizer + Sunscreen

In the last session, I added moisturizer to my skincare routine by applying moisturizer before bed and opting for sunscreen with moisturizing ingredients.

This is the pattern that gives me the best results.

The observed result is

* Brighter face clearly clearer

* The skin is soft and moist throughout the day.

* Pores look firmer

* Acne is barely visible

* Smoother skin

* Button marks or unsmoothness under the eyes look noticeably better.

* Overall skin looks healthier and more balanced.

Interestingly, when the skin simultaneously gains both hydration, moisture retention, and protection from the sun, it appears more responsive than highlighting a particular step.

Summary

Through a year of self-care experiments, I found

No.1: Face Mask + Moisturizer + Sunscreen

2nd Place: Face Mask + Sunscreen

Number 3: Face mask only

This experience made me understand that having good skin does not depend solely on moisturizing, but requires both moisturizing treatment and protection of the skin from sun tandem.

For me, adding a moisturizer and opting for a sunscreen that hydrates the skin is the key turning point that has made the skin most noticeably improved in the past year.
