These 3 habits are quietly destroying your skin barrier
Mistake 1: Over-exfoliating at home
That “tingly = working” feeling?
It’s actually inflammation.
❌ Daily acids
❌ Scrubs + acids + retinoids all at the same time
❌ Exfoliating through redness
Result: compromised barrier, breakouts, sensitivity, dull skin and treatments that don’t last
2026 energy: Less exfoliation. More repair.
Mistake 2: Treating skin like it’s the same all year round
Your skin in winter is NOT the same your skin in summer.
❌ Using the same routine 365 days a year
❌ Ignoring dehydration because “it’s oily”
❌ Not adjusting after treatments
Result: tight skin, flare-ups, uneven results
2026 energy: Skin routines that evolve with seasons, hormones & treatments.
Mistake 3: Chasing results while ignoring the barrier
You can’t force skin into behaving.
❌ Jumping from product to product
❌ Strong actives on an impaired barrier
❌ Expecting clinic results without home support
Result: money wasted, skin stressed, results undone
2026 energy: Barrier first. Results follow.
Healthy skin isn’t about doing more it’s about doing the right things
