Let’s talk acids because sometimes the congestion you see on the surface begins deeper within the pore. Next up: salicylic acid. ✨

Salicylic acid is a BHA, or beta hydroxy acid. Unlike water-soluble AHAs, salicylic acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to travel into the pores and help dissolve the buildup of excess oil and dead skin cells.

It can be especially helpful for oily or acne-prone skin, blackheads, clogged pores and inflammation. With consistent use, it can help skin look clearer, smoother and less congested.

How often should you use it? That depends on the product’s concentration, formulation and your skin’s individual needs. Salicylic acid may be found in daily cleansers and leave-on products, while stronger formulas and professional treatments are used less frequently. More isn’t always better, please remember that overuse can leave the skin dry, irritated or compromise the skin barrier.

It’s also important to consider the rest of your routine before combining salicylic acid with other exfoliating ingredients.

And, as always, daily SPF is essential when exfoliating the skin. ☀️

This or That Tuesday 🌿

Are you reaching for a grounding clay mask or a refreshing sheet mask?

Drop your favorite below! 👇

Educational follow-up: Clay masks can help absorb excess oil and lift surface impurities, while sheet masks often deliver a boost of hydration. Gentle clays can also suit drier skin when properly mixed and not left on until completely dry.

How does the full moon translate to skincare?

The full moon is like a full cup. A time to celebrate what has grown and release what no longer serves us. As the moon begins to wane, I love bringing that same intention to skincare through exfoliation and purification.

It’s a moment to gently clear away buildup and refresh the skin with thoughtfully chosen, clean products that respect its protective barrier.

Let’s talk acids because exfoliation doesn’t have to feel aggressive. Next up: lactic acid. ✨

Lactic acid is an AHA that helps gently loosen and lift away dull surface cells while also supporting hydration. It can improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines and lackluster skin, leaving your complexion smoother and more refreshed.

Compared with some other exfoliating acids, lactic acid is often a gentler option, making it a good fit for dry, dull or more sensitive skin when used appropriately.

But how often should you use it? That depends on the product’s concentration, formulation and your individual skin. Lower-strength products may be used more frequently, while stronger treatments should be used less often or left to a professional.

As with any exfoliating acid, overdoing it can compromise your skin barrier, so thoughtful use and daily SPF matter!
