🚨 I have Acne! But I Don’t Know What to Use! Help!

Not all acne is the same! Do you have acne because of a damaged skin barrier or because of excess oil and lack of exfoliation? Let’s figure it out!

💡 If your skin stings, feels extra sensitive, or reacts to products easily, you likely have a broken skin barrier.

💡 If your skin feels greasy and you have clogged pores, your issue might be oil buildup and lack of exfoliation.

1️⃣ Is Your Skin Oily & Clogged? ✨

🔹 Signs: Greasy skin, small clogged pores, occasional breakouts.

🔹 Causes: Buildup of dead skin, excess oil, and not enough exfoliation or proper cleansing.

✅ How to Fix It:

✔ Introduce a gentle exfoliant 1–3x per week to unclog pores.

✔ Double cleanse at night if you wear SPF or makeup.

✔ Use lightweight, hydrating products to balance oil without making your skin greasy.

2️⃣ Do You Have a Broken Skin Barrier? 🛑

🔹 Causes: Over-exfoliation, using too many active ingredients or harsh skincare products.

✅ How to Fix It:

✔ Stop exfoliating and avoid strong actives until your skin heals.
