I so totally understand how insufficient sleep and work stress can make a woman look 5 years older!
I have been swamped with a sudden flood of projects since two weeks ago, such that I’m basically living a life of a night owl now, haha! When I have to juggle between work (that brings in money) and the daily chores of a housewife (that I’m not paid for), I started to slack in my personal beauty care.
It’s horrible to see what I saw in the mirror yesterday - a dull, haggard face, with noticeable open-pores and greasy appearance. Ouch!
I definitely need to do something to salvage this disaster. So what I did last night was:
- Got back to my weekly exfoliation routine, using the recently bought Biotherm Line Peel Polisher.
- Put on a cheap but lovely facial sheet mask from Watson Taiwan that has hydrating and firming effects (while watching The Desperate Housewives, hehe).
- Applied the recently bought Biotherm Line Peel night cream.
- Switched off the laptop and went to bed before midnight.
This morning I woke up and looked so, so much better. The pores appeared smaller, the skin felt tighter and look brighter. I’ve earned back the 5 years I’d lost, hahaha! ![]()
