A client's severe reaction to a trendy exfoliant has me worried.
She used a strong acid peel from a social media ad without knowing her skin type. Her barrier got damaged, leading to painful redness and sensitivity for days. I spent extra time fixing it with soothing products and a lot of care. Always ask about home routines before any treatment to avoid this mess.
This kind of thing happens all the time now. People see something flashy online and forget to check if it's right for them. It's not just skincare, it's in how we buy gadgets, try new diets, or even follow financial advice. The need for instant results often leads to skipping important steps, like knowing your own skin type. We end up fixing problems that could have been avoided with a little patience and research.
