These are the most common skincare mistakes I see...
And they all have one thing in common: increased irritation or inflammation.
Inflammation triggers pigment, delays healing, and leads to the dark marks that linger long after the breakout or irritation has gone.
Here’s what I want you to avoid:
• Over-exfoliating
• Mixing too many actives
• Skipping sunscreen
• Using harsh scrubs
• Treating pigmentation without treating the cause
Skin of colour thrives when the barrier is protected and inflammation is controlled.
Gentle, steady, science-led skincare always wins. 🤎
