If your skin has been acting funny lately and your routine isn’t working, this might be why.Over-cleansing, using too many products, over exfoliating, and skipping real moisture are some of the easiest ways to damage your skin barrier. I see this all the time with my clients.I know it’s tempting to keep adding things when your skin isn’t acting right, but most of the time your skin just needs a reset, not another product.From a master esthetician who gets it 🤍Save this for later. #damagedbarrier #skincare101 #masteresthetician #estheticiantips #skincareroutine Compromised barrier, skin care educator, skin care education, esthetician skin care. by @its.sarahmae

Dealing with a damaged skin barrier? Here are five easy tips to help restore your skin’s health:During my first postpartum experience, my skin was a mess! I switched some things up and had to get my skin healthy again. So here’s what helped and what I did, especially this second time around so it didn’t get like what happened during my first postpartum experience. 1️⃣ Simplify Your Routine: Less is more. Stick to the basics and avoid overwhelming your skin with too many products.2️⃣ Use a Gentle Cleanser: Choose a cleanser that’s hydrating and free from harsh ingredients to avoid further irritation.3️⃣ Pause Exfoliation: Give your skin a break from exfoliating. When you do exfoliate, use something gentle to avoid aggravating your skin.4️⃣ Moisturize with the Right Ingredients: Look for products with ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to help rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier.5️⃣ Opt for a Mineral Sunscreen: Protect your skin without irritation by choosing a mineral sunscreen over chemical options.Check out my LTK to find some product recommendations. https://liketk.it/4UwJW 🔗 Recovery takes time, but consistency is key.

You asked, and I got you. 🤎Here are some of my favorite products for targeting dark marks and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.These are products I’ve used personally and have trusted with my clients over the years. Every skin is different, but these are definitely some of my tried and true favorites.Remember, it’s not just about buying a product. Look for pigment targeting ingredients, stay consistent with your routine, exfoliate appropriately, and wear your sunscreen every single day.Have you tried any of these? Let me know your favorite in the comments!@pcaskin @rosemdskin @muradskincare @naturium @topicals @goodmolecules @ultabeauty @sephora Comment DARK SPOTS below to receive a DM with the link to this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6iQoY#hyperpigmentation #darkspots #darkspotserum #esthetician #estheticiantips by @its.sarahmae

If your breakouts have calmed down but you’re still left with dark marks, this is for you.When you’re shopping for products, take a look at the ingredients. I love seeing pigment-targeting ingredients like tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, alpha arbutin, kojic acid, niacinamide, and resorcinol derivatives because they help target discoloration.Remember, a simple, consistent routine will always take you further than an overwhelming one.Keep your routine simple. Exfoliate your skin regularly. Wear your sunscreen every single day. Stay consistent, and give your products time to work.Hyperpigmentation takes patience, but with the right ingredients and consistency, you can absolutely get there. 🤎 Let me know if these type of reels are helpful in the poll below.#hyperpigmentation #skincaretips #darkmarks #darkspots #skincareroutine by @its.sarahmae
