@holistic.le: ONE OF THE BIGGEST SKINCARE MISTAKES ‼️ Over exfoliation. This means chemical exfoliation via: AHAs —alpha hydroxy acids ex: -glycolic acid -lactic acid -mandelic acid BHA —beta hydroxy acid ex: -salicylic acid (most commonly) Or, mechanical exfoliation via: -cleansing devices -abrasive wash cloths -scrubs/beaded cleansers More often the solution is not MORE to address acne and texture but LESS If you’re experiencing signs of over exfoliation the solution is SIMPLE, set your chemical exfoliant aside and JUST cleanse, moisturize and SPF (in the AM) —I think you’d be truly amazed at how quickly your skin heals Chemical exfoliants have their place (physical ones not so much) you just have to consider: 1) do you really need one or you just think you do? 2) if you do, which one, how much and when? Chemical exfoliants should only be introduced when your skin barrier is strong and healthy:) #SkinCare101 #skintips101 #skin #acnetips ##acnetips #chemicalexfoliation #texturedskin
