Sometimes your skincare products don’t seem to absorb because there’s a buildup of dead skin cells creating a barrier. Look at the amount of dead skin in this picture!! When that happens, even great products can sit on the surface instead of penetrating effectively.
A new client of mine was experiencing this, and dermaplaning made a big difference! Once that excess dead skin was removed, her products began absorbing much more quickly and effectively.
If your skincare doesn’t seem to be working the way it should, even if it’s professional grade products it may simply be a sign that your skin needs proper exfoliation to reset and allow those products to do their job.
