right, September skin is not the same skin
Honestly I keep forgetting this every single year and then wondering why my face feels tight by lunchtime. The air changes, the heating comes back on,…
Matcha
The matcha was such good quality and so good high quality. I recommend this to anyone who is in need of good matcha
Matcha
Very good matcha I recommend. It was very good quality I loved it so much.

skin's already panicking and it's barely October
Right so my cheeks started feeling tight last week and I was like... already? It's not even properly cold yet. Honestly the switch from summer to aut…

the dryness has hit differently this year and I'm not sure why
I'm not a dermatologist but I've been doing this long enough to notice when something's off, and this October my skin is just... tight in a way it has…

my skin is basically grieving summer right now
Right so it's that point where the heating's come on indoors but it's still not that cold outside and my skin is just... confused. I'm not a dermatolo…
ok my skin is genuinely confused right now
That weird in-between stage where it's not properly cold yet but your skin is already acting like it's January. Mine went dry and congested at the sam…

water actually does something apparently
Hot take: I used to think the whole 'drink more water for your skin' thing was just something brands say to avoid accountability for their bad product…

winter skin is a different beast tbh
The heating came on properly this week. First time since March or whenever, and within about two days my skin just... tightened up. That sensation whe…

dry hands are my autumn villain
Right so I've been obsessing over moisturising my face all season but somehow forgot my hands exist until they started cracking around the knuckles. C…

my skin in September is basically a different person
Honestly I don't know why it still catches me off guard every year. Summer skin and autumn skin are just... not the same skin. Mine goes from oily-and…

my skin always throws a tantrum at this exact point in the year
Every single end of August my skin just... revolts. Not in a dramatic breakout way, more like it gets confused. Still a bit oily in the T-zone from su…

ok the one thing I always underestimate this time of year
Honestly I say this every autumn and then completely ignore it until my face starts feeling like paper — slow down the exfoliation. Like properly slow…

layering in autumn is an art form and I'm still learning
Okay so the temperature has properly dropped this week and my skin is already doing that thing where it feels tight by midday even though I've moistur…

the one product switch that actually sorted my autumn skin
Right so every year I tell myself I'm going to be proactive about swapping my routine before the central heating kicks in. Every year I am not. But th…

autumn swap I keep forgetting every single year
Every September I do this. My skin gets tight and a bit flaky and I spend two weeks blaming stress or diet before I remember — oh right, I need to swa…

my skin is so confused right now
Right so we've had like three warm days in a row and my skin has completely lost the plot. It was finally settling into a proper routine after winter…

SPF is not optional, I don't care what anyone says
I'm not a dermatologist but six years of obsessing over this stuff has taught me one thing — skipping SPF in summer is just... no. Doesn't matter if i…

skin just knows when summer's ending
Honestly didn't change a single thing and yet. Skin is drier round my nose, that tight feeling's back, and I've got a bit of redness on my cheeks that…

skin is bored of my routine I think
Been using the same products for like four months and my skin was fine with them. Now the weather's doing that annoying in-between thing and suddenly…
