summer routine honestly stresses me out a bit

Every year I convince myself I can just carry on with the same routine and every year my skin disagrees pretty loudly. More oil, more congestion, sunscreen on top of everything else — it all just feels heavier somehow. I've basically stripped it back. Lighter moisturiser, SPF actually applied properly (I was definitely not doing this), and I've kept the collagen going because that's non-negotiable at this point, three years in. The matcha in the morning helps too, I mean I don't know that it's doing something for my skin specifically but I feel better overall and I think that shows. To be fair I've stopped fighting it and just accepted summer skin is its own thing.

three years is where it starts to feel like the data, honestly. I noticed the same shift with collagen — you stop questioning it because the baseline just looks different.

humidity wrecks my skin every single summer, I always think I'll be prepared and then I'm not
