my skin has just gone full autumn before I have

Right so I've not changed anything in my routine and suddenly my face is dry and a bit flaky round my nose and I'm like... oh. It's that time again. Honestly I forget every single year. Summer skin is all fine and then September hits and it's like my face just decides to stop cooperating. I've basically had to swap out my lightweight moisturiser for something a bit thicker — nothing fancy, just a proper cream instead of the gel stuff I was using. And I've stopped washing my face with anything foamy in the morning because I think that was stripping it. Just water now, then moisturiser straight after. That's it. Two changes and it's already less tight-feeling. Mind you I'm also still not sleeping so who even knows what's doing what at this point. Archie decided 4am was a great time to be awake and chatty last night so I'm not exactly glowing but at least I'm not peeling.
