switching to summer skincare and I always leave it too late
Every single year I do this — I'm still using my heavier moisturiser well into June wondering why my skin looks a bit congested and dull. It's me. I'm…
the skin-gut thing is real and I hate that I ignored it for so long
Right so this time of year my skin always does something annoying. Not full breakouts, just that dull, slightly reactive thing where it looks tired ev…
skin is finally settling down I think
Took about three weeks but my face has stopped doing that weird combo thing where one bit is dry and the rest is oily. Honestly I wasn't sure if it wa…
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 d…
skin is doing a lot right now
Right so my chin has decided this week is the time to break out and peel simultaneously. Both. At the same time. Cool. I genuinely don't know whether…
my skin has been so confused lately
Honestly the transition from winter to spring wrecks my skin every single year without fail. Like my face genuinely cannot decide if it's dry or oily.…
skin does not care about your routine apparently
Noticed this week my skin has just... changed. Not broken out, not dry exactly, just different. That weird in-between thing where your usual products…
skin is doing something weird and I can't tell if it's good or bad
So my skin has been confusing me lately. Like, the breakouts I've had for months have calmed down a bit — which should feel like a win — but now it's…
my skin does NOT like October apparently
Honestly every year this catches me off guard. One week it's fine, next week it's tight and a bit patchy and I'm like... right, here we go again. I'v…
water. that's it. that's the post.
Honestly I resisted this for years. Kept buying serums and creams and thinking that's what my skin needed. And look, some of it does help — I've notic…
my skin actually looks different and I haven't bought anything new
Right so I've been properly sceptical of the whole 'collagen fixes everything' thing for ages — like, as someone who knows a fair bit about how stress…
season change skin is a different beast tbh
Been noticing my skin doing weird stuff these past couple of weeks. Not breaking out exactly, just... off. Tighter in the morning, a bit dull by after…
spring skin is already doing my head in
Right so it's barely even proper spring yet and my skin is already confused. Dry patches where it was fine last week. A bit oily where it's never oily…
skin actually changes with the seasons and I keep forgetting this
Every single year I act surprised when my skin goes a bit weird in late spring. Like genuinely baffled. You'd think six years of working in nutrition…
pollen is not my friend apparently
So I've always just assumed my spring breakouts were stress or whatever, but this year I'm genuinely starting to think the pollen situation plays more…
skin's been acting weird and I think I know why
Every year without fail. The season shifts and my skin just... doesn't know what it is anymore. Oily in some spots, tight in others, and suddenly my u…
switching up my routine for summer and honestly dreading it
my skin basically has to relearn everything when the weather shifts. like I'd finally got a routine that wasn't making me flare up and now it's gettin…
summer skin is a different beast honestly
Everyone talks about winter skin being dry and miserable, and yeah, that's real. But I find the summer switch genuinely harder to navigate? Like my sk…
spring skin reset (nothing fancy)
Right so I basically stripped everything back this month. Was using too much, too many steps, and my skin was just... annoyed tbh. Now it's like — cl…

Content: I used to think a 10-step skincare routine was the secret to a healthy glow, but my skin barrier begged to differ. Lately, I’ve stripped ever…
