My two cents: If you don’t wear make-up that often, toners are actually not necessary. Waste of money.

Genetics aside, I think the secret to looking young is skincare. Just do the 5-step routine, (wash - toner - serum - moisturizer - sunscreen), morning and night. Your skin and your future self will thank you for it.

My med school mentor just called to check up on me. She was asking if I was eating enough or how's life been after we were pulled out from our hospital duties. It feels reassuring when someone close to your heart (apart from your family) shows this kind of concern. I'm blessed.

In my almost 2 months of doing Telemedicine in a public hospital, one thing I realized is the rate of patient follow-up is at an all-time high because it's the doctor who would call his/her patients to get an update and not the other way around.
