skin has fully given up on me this week

Honestly didn't think the season change would hit this hard. Like I knew it was coming but my skin's gone from fine to flaky and tight in about four days flat. Cheeks especially — just dry and a bit dull looking, which is not the vibe. Basically I've had to rethink the whole lads' routine for autumn. Added a thicker moisturiser, actually let it sink in before going outside instead of rushing out the door. And I've been consistent with the collagen in the mornings — can't say if it's doing something dramatic but my skin does feel less like it's fighting me? Hard to explain. To be fair it takes a few weeks to notice anything properly so I'm just staying the course. The main thing that's helped most honestly is just drinking more water. Boring answer but there it is.
