Telescopes across the globe, once trained on distant nebulae and shimmering galaxies, now pointed towards a single, menacing point in the sky. A celestial body, a cosmic bullet of rock and ice, was hurtling towards Earth. It wasn't a small, insignificant pebble, but a behemoth larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument to destruction barreling down on our planet.

A Journey to Radiant Skin: My Daily Beauty Ritual. AI-Generated.
My journey to achieving healthy, radiant skin has been filled with trials and errors, but I've finally found a routine that works wonders for me. My face used to be very dry, so in the mornings, I avoid harsh cleansing foams and oils. Instead, I opt for a gentle cleansing milk. It’s soothing and doesn’t strip away my skin’s natural oils. The areas I focus on most are around my chin and nose. Since switching to this method, my skin has shown significant improvement. It turns out, my face was craving moisture and oil. With consistent care, my skin texture has improved, and the painful dryness I used to experience has lessened considerably.
