My Skin Started Acting Weird Halfway Through My Korea Trip
By the third day of my trip, my skin suddenly got irritated and I had no idea what to do with it.
I stopped by a skincare store first, thinking I’d just grab something simple, but there were so many products that I ended up getting overwhelmed and leaving without buying anything.
Later, while walking around Myeongdong, I came across a pharmacy and decided to ask for help instead. They checked my skin first and then explained what seemed worth focusing on instead of just handing me a bunch of random products.
I ended up picking up a few things for hydration and calming the irritation. It was honestly nice having someone narrow it down because I probably would’ve spent an hour comparing products online.
My skin started feeling better over the next couple of days, which was a relief because I really didn’t want a skin problem taking over the rest of my trip.
Has anyone else had their skin randomly freak out while traveling?
