Remember when we were told that oily skin meant we needed to continually strip it with St. Ives Scrub, Proactive and Biore Toner.. only to have our skin even more tight and dry and oily? We were putting our skin in fight or flight mode and making it completely stripped of all good oils and balance, leaving it prone to fine lines, enlarged pores, inflamed skin and the list goes on.
I truly feel like the 90's and early 2000's traumatized us that glowing, balanced skin was out and dry, peeling skin was in.
Truthfully.. we have to step away from those stripping products and understand that in order to achieve your best skin, it needs moisture and hydration with products that will nourish.
When I used to work with clients both in person and virtually, you wouldn't believe the amount of times I heard that moisturizer is skipped because it made them feel greasy or using witch hazel toner to mattify the skin was what helped them.
While looking at their skin, I saw inflammation, pores that were enlarged, flaking skin and fine lines becoming prominent.
Regardless of what age you are or what your skin type is, you will never not need moisture.
You'll never not need hydration.
Our skin shows the first signs of distress both internally and externally, if you feel like you can relate to this, then let me help you.
