Tried that viral 'slugging' technique on a client with rosacea and it was a total disaster, her face was so red and angry for days.
I learned the hard way that what's trending on TikTok isn't always backed by solid skin science, especially for sensitive conditions, so what's your go-to calming protocol for a major flare-up like that?

Saw a dermatologist on YouTube break this down. For a bad flare, they said to strip everything back to a gentle cleanser and a basic moisturizer with ceramides. A cold compress can help with the immediate burning feeling, but the real fix is just leaving it alone for a few days.

Honestly, that sounds like overkill for most people. A lot of times my skin just calms down on its own without a whole new routine. Feels like we're being told to treat a simple pimple like a major crisis.
