So limit.
Yeah.
Pat it in.
Okay.
Okay.
chemical exfoliation.
Also intentionally sort of damaging the skin barrier.
Now, if you have a excess buildup of dead skin cells, that's what a chemical exfoliant is really meant for.
But there are people who will reach sort of the optimal dead skin cell layer on the top of their skin, and then they will continue to exfoliate.
And then you start breaking down the deeper layers of the skin, which is not helpful.
So if you're using a chemical exfoliant, it really depends on what strength and how frequently you're using it.
But yes, you absolutely can wreck your skin barrier if you over exfoliate physically or chemically.
So if we're doing that, would we not want to also do like an acid type thing?
Often not.
Although I will say some people like a chemical exfoliant because it just gives an extra boost and that really sort of glass skin we were talking about earlier.
So I have a lot of patients who will do a retinoid five to six nights a week and then have one exfoliation night.
But I don't usually have people.
I think if you're doing tretinoin or a retinoid with acids at the same time, not ideal.
That's the biggest one.
Everything else, it's really about what your skin can handle.
