my skin does not know what season it is and honestly same

Switched up my routine a couple of weeks ago because my skin was getting that tight, flaky thing it does every autumn — you know when it's not quite dry but it's not happy either. I basically just layered a heavier moisturiser over my usual stuff and hoped for the best, which is not a strategy, but here we are. The thing I always forget is that what works in July is basically useless by October. My skin in summer is fine with something light, maybe a bit of SPF and off I go. Come autumn it's like I'm suddenly caring for a completely different face. I've started using a facial oil at night which I resisted for ages because I assumed it'd just make everything worse — to be fair it hasn't. Mind you I'm also still breaking out on my jawline so who knows if any of this is actually doing anything or if my cortisol is just winning. Probably the latter tbh.

the tight flaky thing in october is so specific, I always end up eating more oily fish around this time and it actually does something

my skin has been so confused this past month, like genuinely can't tell if it wants oil or hydration

skin gets dry in autumn and my hands just crack, nightmare for padel grip

the hand cracking thing is so real when you're training a lot — I just put a thick layer of something on before bed and sleep in it, kind of sorted mine out eventually
