This is Day 1 of my renewed record of my skin condition today!

This is a record of my skin condition starting over.

I was really shocked when I looked in the mirror this morning. I was a bit tired yesterday, so I just washed up quickly before going to bed, and my skin is literally in a state of 'dryness.' Even after washing my face, it felt like it was going to tear, and even though I applied a generous amount of my usual cream, it felt like it was just sitting on the surface.

Maybe it's because of the changing seasons, but it feels unusually dry. White flakes of dead skin are appearing around my nose, and my makeup isn't adhering at all; it just caked up, so I ended up removing it and going out with just sunscreen on. I think my skin definitely needs a break today.

I definitely need to gently exfoliate tonight and apply the richest hydrating mask I have before going to bed. Please, I really hope my skin calms down tomorrow. How is everyone's skin condition today? Is anyone else struggling like me?
