@theholyglosspel: 🧖🏻♀️ TRUST ME, I’M LICENSED: episode 3 🤍 pairing acids with retinol is a HUGE HELL NAH 😭💀‼️ chemical exfoliants are ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, or lactic acid. these ingredients dissolve the glue that holds dead skin cells together while retinol helps speed up cell turnover, SOOOO using BOTH of these at the same time on top of each other is can be TOO STRONG for ur skin 😭 tips to remember: ⭐️ use brightening ingredients in ur AM routine ⭐️ always use hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides or beta glucan while using exfoliants or retinol (these are AMAZING to pair together) ⭐️ when in doubt, KISS (keep it simple silly) 💋 #skincare #skincaretips #skincareroutine #esthetician #skinroutine
