autumn skin just hits different doesn't it

Right so it's not October chaos this time, more like... November has crept in and my skin is doing that thing where it feels fine and then you catch yourself in a harsh light and go oh. Basically I've just gone back to a slightly heavier moisturiser at night. That's it. Nothing dramatic. I always forget how much the central heating dries everything out — like within a week of turning it on my cheeks feel completely different to how they did in September. Collagen's stayed constant through all of it mind you. I genuinely think that's the one thing that bridges the seasons for me, whatever else I'm switching in and out.
