Skin Struggles

I love skincare products and the benefits for my skin too! BUT sometimes we can get obsessed and begin to do more harm than good.

We know exfoliating sheds the dead skin to reveal new skin! The glow after a good exfoliation is amazing and I recommend everyone to do it. So I want to advise anyone to understand skin type MATTERS because it's how you understand how your skin works.

Don't know your skin type? Just click here to know! Need Skincare Products based on your skin type? Click here too!

To make it simple. Check out the list!

Oily/Acne-Prone Skin — Exfoliate 2–3 times weekly. Prevents clogged pores, and helps the skin glow brighter!

Sensitive/Dry Skin — Exfoliate 1 time weekly. Fights against dull appearance and rough skin texture! This is the secret.

Normal/Combination Skin — Exfoliate 1–2 times weekly. If you are more oily I recommend 2x weekly besides that once is just fine!

How do you know if you’ve over-exfoliated?

Your skin will start to get dry, uneven, and textured. Breakouts and irritation will begin to show. Then inflamed skin.

If you are experiencing these signs don’t panic I got you! Here's what you need to do.

You're going to have a 28-day challenge to NOT exfoliate until your skin is healed. In 28 days you will allow the skin to go through the skin cell cycle and reset the skin. So STOP using exfoliating products and just cleanse, tone, moisturize. P.S Salicylic, glycolic, retinol, and more are examples of exfoliating ingredients!

Once the challenge is over be sure to use your products based on your skin type. This will prevent problems and ensure CLEAR skin.
