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 problem. Basically what works for me is swapping out one thing at a time rather than overhauling everything at once. Lighter SPF moisturiser first, then I'll look at whether my cleanser needs to change. Right now I've gone down to a gel cleanser in the mornings because honestly my skin does not need anything more than that when it's warm. The one thing I'd say is don't bin your richer products entirely — I still use mine a couple of nights a week, especially around ovulation when my skin tends to go a bit reactive. Hormones are a thing and summer heat on top of that can be a lot. To be fair though even just drinking more water has made a difference this past week, which I know sounds painfully basic but here we are.
