water bottle has been glued to my hand this week

Honestly didn't connect the dots until my skin started feeling tight and a bit dull around the same time I'd been slack about drinking water. Thought it was just the weather changing — and yeah, that's probably part of it — but I've been rubbish at staying hydrated when it's not hot out. Like your brain just stops reminding you. Past few days I've been making a proper effort. Two litres minimum, sometimes a bit of herbal tea in the evening. Skin's not transformed or anything dramatic but it feels... less like cardboard? Hard to explain. Just less uncomfortable. I do think I massively underestimated how much the season switch messes with this stuff. The heating comes on, the air dries out, and I'm still in summer mode thinking I don't need to top up as much. Rookie error tbh.

do you find it harder to remember in winter specifically or just when you're not sweating?

the tight and dull combo is such a giveaway, I never really notice how dehydrated I am until my skin starts looking a bit flat
