Twelve months. Full circle. And somehow, everything is different now. December. We’re back where we started, or close to it. The conditions are the same as in January. Cold air, low humidity, indoor heating running at full blast, short, dark days with minimal sun exposure. Your skin is dealing with precisely the conditions it was…
It’s properly cold now. The days are short. And my skin needs things it hasn’t needed since January. Eleven months in. And there’s something quietly satisfying about being here, in November, with the year nearly complete. Back in January, we were dealing with exactly the conditions that November brings. Cold air, indoor heating, dryness, and…
The cold is here. My skin is asking for something different. And this time, I actually know what to give it. Ten months in. October is a genuinely distinctive month for skin. Not transitional, as September was, with one foot still in summer. October is properly autumn. The air is cold enough in the mornings…
Summer isn’t quite over. But something has changed. My skin can feel it before I can. Nine months in. We are now at one of the most genuinely interesting points of the year for skin, as September is a real turning point. Not a gradual one either. One week, the air feels thick and warm….
Something shifts in August. The sun is still here, but the story is starting to change. Eight months in. And if I’m honest, August feels different from June and July. The heat is often still there. The UV index is still high. But there’s a quality to August that feels like the last chapter of…
This is it. The hottest, brightest, most skin-testing month of the year. Seven months in. We’ve come a long way since January, when the main problem was keeping my skin from feeling like cracked old leather. July is a completely different world. The days are long, the UV index is high, and if you’ve been…
The sun is actually here. My skin needs a completely different game plan. Six months in. We started this series in January when my skin was dry, tight, and miserable. And now here we are in June, and the problem is sort of the opposite. It’s warm. It’s bright. There’s actual sunshine. And my skin…
The weather is being inconsistent. My skin is confused. But honestly, things are looking pretty good. May is a strange and brilliant month. One day it’s warm enough to sit outside in a t-shirt, the next it’s grey and a bit chilly again. That unpredictability is lovely for picnics and a headache for skincare. Because…
We made it. There is actual sunshine. And my skin has immediately started behaving differently. Four months in, and I genuinely feel like I understand my skin a little better than I did back in January. Which, honestly, was the whole point of doing this month by month. April is a good one because the…
Right. Here we are. March. The air is starting to change. There are actual signs of light in the morning. The heating isn’t quite running at full blast. And I’ve genuinely started to feel optimistic about my skin for the first time in months. But here’s the thing, I didn’t realise until I started looking…
