Using an astringent with a high percentage of alcohol to get that “deep clean” feeling is actually hurting your skin!
Unfortunately, these harsh astringents remove much more than dirt and oil from your face. They will also strip the skin of essential moisture, compromising the barrier.
In response, your skin actually produces MORE oil to compensate for the dryness and the vicious cycle never ends. We recommend using a treatment toner containing beneficial ingredients like salicylic acid to gently clean pores while protecting your delicate moisture barrier.
Remember, be gentle to your skin...using only hands or 100% clothes or gauze to apply products. Do not grind those "trouble spots" with finger-tips or other harsh items. Use the length of your fingers to gently move the products around your skins surface!
Stay tuned for more tips to help you to learn to love the skin you're in.
