💡Use hyaluronic acid/other hydrators underneath

I got into slugging (you know, sealing in moisture with something like petroleum jelly overnight) after seeing it all over skincare TikTok. And honestly? It worked. My skin felt super soft and hydrated in the morning. But after a while, I started wondering—why did my skin need that much help holding onto moisture in the first place? That’s when I got curious about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike most skincare trends, TCM Lotus Care doesn’t just treat the surface—it looks at the root of why your skin is dry, reactive, or breaking out. My practitioner talked to me about digestion, liver health, stress, even the kind of food I eat. It was a whole new way of looking at skincare.
