Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that breaks bonds between skin cells, making these easier to shed off. This in turn helps improve the appearance of fine lines & superficial wrinkles, lighten appearance of dark spots, and improve skin texture to reduce dullness.

Here are some recommendations on using glycolic acid:

📌 Those with sensitive skin may tolerate gentle glycolic acid formulations. Tips for those with sensitive skin:

➡️ Patch test before use.

➡️ Start with a low-concentration product (10% or less) 3x a week. Increase as tolerated, or maintain at a low frequency if that suits your skin best.

➡️ Look for soothing & hydrating ingredients in the product formulation. This reduces the potential for irritation.

➡️ Moisturize & protect from the sun.

➡️ Discontinue/pause if the skin is irritated.

👩‍🏫 What exactly is a moisturizer?

Moisturizers are products that are able to provide water and/or oils (lipids) to the skin.

Therefore, moisturizers can address dryness (lack of oil) and/or dehydration (lack of water), depending on the ingredients in the product.

👩‍🏫 Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that breaks corneocyte bonds (chemical exfoliant) making these easier to shed off. Glycolic acid can improve the appearance of fine lines & superficial wrinkles, lighten appearance of dark spots, and improve skin texture to reduce dullness.

📌 It’s a myth that all glycolic acid products are irritating, and that everyone with sensitive skin cannot use this active. Glycolic acid products differ in their irritation potential, which in turn depends on acid concentration, product pH, other ingredients in the product, and overall formulation. There are gentle products out there suitable for sensitive skin.

Here’s ’s B.A.S.I.C.S. mantra for skin care as a way to !

✅ B-asic essentials
- Use a non-drying cleanser suited to your skin type. Some cleansers do more than cleansing, and can be beneficial for those with specific skin concerns like acne.

✅ A-ddress your personal skin concerns and target these in your routine
- Your skin care routine should cater to YOUR skin, so the first step in building a routine is to identify your skin type and skin concerns. There is a skin care active for every skin issue! ❤️

✅ S-imple and targeted routine
- I like using skin care products with multifunctional actives that do different things for my skin e.g. keep my skin plump and hydrated, brighten overall skin tone, lighten appearance of dark marks, and even out my skin texture.

✅ I-ndividualize based on your preferences. If it’s not sustainable and doesn’t spark joy, then it’s not the best routine for you.

✅ C-onsult a board-certified dermatologist.

✅ S-kin is a part of a whole. Nourish your body with a healthy lifestyle, and your skin will thank you!

❌”Hypoallergenic products” will never cause skin reactions

✅”Hypoallergenic” is not a regulated term

No scientific studies showing hypoallergenic products cause fewer reactions than conventional ones.

❌Oily skin will never need a moisturizer

✅Skin oiliness is a property of the sebaceous/oil glands. Skin hydration is a property of the stratum corneum/skin barrier (skin cells and lipids + proteins holding them together)

❌Non-comedogenic products will never cause breakouts

✅ “Non-comedogenic” is not a regulated term

No list of ingredients that need to be excluded for a product to use this claim

❌Clean beauty products (e.g. free of sulfates/fragrance/parabens) are always safer

✅ “Clean beauty” is not a regulated term

❌Indoor sunscreen is never necessary.

✅This isn’t always necessary, but can be useful in the ff:

👩‍🏫 Retinoids are one of the most requested topics from ’s followers -- unsurprising because these ingredients are very popular in the skin care world.

TLDR:
✅ Your best bet is a cleanser that’s gentle on the skin!

✅ If you’re already using leave-on products that have active ingredients that may cause irritation (e.g. retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, hydroxy acids), it’s best to use gentle cleansers or cleansers geared towards sensitive skin.

✅ Generally speaking, specific skin concerns are best addressed with leave on products. That said, those with acne can benefit from cleansers with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, and those with sensitive skin might only be able to tolerate certain actives in cleanser forms.

👩‍🏫 There are so many skin care hacks from social media nowadays, and it can be hard to figure out the legitimate ones, versus those that are recipes for disaster.

🍋One of the most popular underarm skin hacks is using lemon on underarms. Yay or nay? Watch this reaction video from to find out!

💕 Always remember that underarm skin is prone to irritation, so you need to be careful with what you use in this area. If your underarm products or things you do for your underarms don’t spark joy, feel free to change it up!
