Stopping daily exfoliation fixed my broken skin barrier.

Too much scrubbing strips your skin and causes more problems.

My best friend was CONVINCED she needed to scrub her face every single night. Her skin got so red and tight it looked like a sunburn, and weird little bumps popped up. She finally listened to her derm and just STOPPED for a whole month. Literally just used a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. It was a total turnaround, her skin calmed down so much. That constant scrubbing was just tearing everything up. She learned the hard way that sometimes doing less is actually doing more for your skin.

Total turnaround? Was it really that dramatic?
