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 getting warmer and I have to start all over again tbh the main thing I've had to drop is my heavier moisturiser. I was using something quite thick through spring and it was fine, but the second the humidity crept up my skin just... didn't want it anymore. started feeling congested I suppose, not quite breaking out but not happy either swapped it for something much lighter, more of a gel texture, and that helped. also cut back to SPF only in the mornings instead of layering two things — that was just too much for me personally the one thing I won't change is keeping it fragrance-free. I've made that mistake before in summer thinking I could get away with something a bit more "summery" and no. instant regret. every time. I should say — this is just what works for me, sensitive and eczema-prone skin is so individual, what my skin needs is probably completely different to yours

skin congestion in summer is no joke, took me ages to figure out my face just couldn't handle the same stuff year round

took me way too long to realise that too tbh, kept blaming everything else before the moisturiser

switching moisturiser every season is proper faff but yeah your skin just won't let you get away with the same thing all year
