You cannot irritate your skin into submission (think overuse of scrubbing, exfoliating, retinoids or benzoyl peroxide-your condition will likely worsen); nor can you ignore the condition you wish to treat; rarely does a skin condition clear up on its own. The skin is like the mind. It needs to be calmed and soothed in order to achieve its maximum potential. Irritation and stressors only lead to worsening, not correcting the condition.

Oily, acne prone skin types need to be using a Beta Hydroxy Acid, or BHA daily. Salicylic acid is most common among acne care brands and for good reason. It breaks through oil and unglues dead skin cells that are clogging the follicle. Aging skin conditions respond well to varying levels of an AHA, Alpha Hydroxy Acid. Most commonly used is 5-8% glycolic acid. Are you experiencing breakouts AND aging skin conditions? Your skin may require an AHA and BHA in addition to the appropriate hydrator.

Overuse of either ingredient can be irritating to the skin so be sure you are properly applying them based on a skincare professional’s recommendation for your skin type. Need a recommendation? Ready for a product made for your exact skin type? Ask me about a 100% customized line, Onlyyourx.
