skin in summer is its own thing honestly
Three years of the same routine and summer still catches me out. I've been using collagen for a while now and generally my skin feels pretty stable bu…
SPF is not enough on its own, right
Been working the front desk all summer with the doors propped open half the day and honestly my skin has been parched. Like I'm putting SPF50 on relig…

humidity is doing my skin dirty this year
Right so I know summer's technically winding down but London has been disgustingly humid lately and my skin is still in full panic mode. I'm not a der…
autumn skin is already plotting against me

summer routine is basically half what it used to be

Mindful mornings 🍵💫
In a world that is always rushing, your morning routine shouldn't be. Taking just 5 minutes for yourself can completely shift the energy of your entir…
my skin is just confused and honestly so am I
Been having one of those weeks where my skin can't decide what it wants. Too hot, so it gets oily. Then I use something lighter and it dries out. Clas…
summer skin is actually harder than I thought
Right so I take back everything I said last week. Summer skin being 'low maintenance' — yeah that lasted about ten days and then my face had opinions.…
summer skin is low maintenance skin, apparently
Honestly the heat has done something weird and good to my skin. In winter I'm layering stuff, my routine gets complicated, SPF then this then that. Ri…
my skin is already confused and it's only September

summer skin is a different beast tbh
Right so I've been noticing my skin gets weirdly confused in summer. Like in winter it's dry and predictable but summer? It's oily AND dehydrated at t…
summer routine honestly stresses me out a bit
Every year I convince myself I can just carry on with the same routine and every year my skin disagrees pretty loudly. More oil, more congestion, suns…
sun does something weird to my skin every single year
Right so every summer without fail I forget that my skin just... changes. Like not badly necessarily, but it stops behaving the way it does the rest o…
summer skin is a whole different negotiation
Honestly my routine from winter just does not translate. The thick moisturiser I was basically living in from October onwards — cannot touch it right…
