And there's lots of people who don't like chemical exfoliation because it can sting or feel irritating on their skin.
Or for people who have rosacea, they might find that chemical exfoliants are just too much.
And some very gentle physical would be fine for them.
Cleanser that you're probably using or like buying at the drugstore or from your dermatologist or esthetician nowadays is probably not going to be too harsh as long as it doesn't have a ton of acids in it.
They're called syndets or synthetic detergents.
They're different than like old school soaps that were super basic.
I mean, like acid versus base.
And those used to really disrupt the lipids in your skin barrier.
But now the cleansers that we use generally don't tend to be too harsh.
Absolutely.
I think the other thing to understand is that it takes a solid four to six weeks for your skin barrier to repair.
So sometimes people will go, okay, I changed my routine.
I used moisturizer for a couple of weeks and
That didn't do it.
And sometimes that won't do it.
You need more time for your skin to recover and you have to really respect what your barrier is doing.
All of these actives and other things you're trying to do for your skin are really not going to serve you well if your skin barrier is in a constant state of being dysregulated or inflamed.
You also kind of disrupt the natural microbiome of your skin when your barrier is disrupted.
And so there's more data coming out on that, but also really important to think about maintaining.
That's interesting.
