humidity has done something weird to my skin tbh

Honestly not complaining about the warmer weather but my skin has gone a bit... odd. Not bad exactly, just different. Like it's adjusted itself without asking me. The heavy moisturiser I was relying on all winter is suddenly too much — I put it on last week and looked genuinely greasy by 10am. So I've swapped it out for something lighter and my skin seems happier for it. Mind you I said the same thing last April and then had a dry patch situation by May so I'm not celebrating yet. I think the bit people don't talk about enough is that transitional period — it's not winter skin, it's not summer skin, it's just confused skin trying to work out what's going on. Same as me really lol.

the greasy by 10am thing happens to me every single year without fail, never learn

do you drink more water in summer or is it the same — genuinely curious if that makes any difference for you

I drink loads more but honestly can't tell if it actually does anything for my skin or if I just feel like it should

hydration does help me but honestly not as dramatically as people make out — I notice more difference from what I eat than just water alone. diet nerd answer, sorry Paul

sweat changes everything for me too, skin goes proper weird when I start training more in summer
