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 afternoon. Honestly the only thing that's helped is just slowing down the routine. Like not adding more products thinking that'll fix it — I did that and it made it worse. Less is doing more right now. Collagen in the morning has become non-negotiable for me during these in-between weeks. Can't explain the science of it, I just feel like my skin holds up better through the day. To be fair it might be placebo but I'll take it. Basically if your skin feels unsettled right now, strip it back before you start piling things on. That's the only thing that's actually worked for me.
