HOT TAKE 🔥 Let’s talk exfoliation…
As you will know if you’ve followed us for a while, you’ll know our stance on exfoliation. It hasn’t changed since the beginning of HÜD 11 years ago…
Too much and on the wrong skin? Red hot mess….😩
Red. Hot. Stingy. Everything feels wrong…
And ironically, when using too much acids your skin actually STOPS the natural exfoliation process!
Fact:
70% of clients we see have a barrier which is compromised - and it’s mostly due to society’s obsession with “glass skin”.
The fact is, when your barrier is impaired it might take weeks or months before we’re able to step up your corrective treatment.
So many give up during that process because there’s a bit of oil coming through. Some temporary breakouts as that oil stabilises. And the skin is no longer looking shiny and glowy.
But the truth is, this phase is temporary- and will save you down the track! Because we’ll be able to correct more and step up your actives without your skin throwing a hissy fit.
So before you feel tempted to add yet another acid to your routine,chat to your dermal therapist!
