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.

@hannah_webb71 oh man, that reminds me of when my cousin decided she needed to use one of those gritty walnut shell scrubs every day. Her face looked like a tomato that had been through a war. Took her forever to admit the derm was right. Less is definitely more with that stuff.

Total turnaround? Was it really that dramatic?
