The things my uneducated self did to my acne-ridden skin at 13 years old... DAMN. Should be illegal.
OMG same! I think the only thing I’ve ever done right was SPF daily. I remember being like 13 and watching this 20/20 special with my mom where they had mainly women go into a booth that would take these almost like X-rays that showed how “old” their skin was due to no SPF. It scared me. I’m Hispanic but I’m very fair skinned and while I adore my mom, skincare wasn’t a huge deal and she encouraged sun tanning. Vitamins weren’t also a big deal in my house either. I started that journey when I joined the military and started running a lot and realized that I would benefit from it.
But anyways, that episode scared me and ever since then, I use no less than an SPF 40 or higher. I also incorporated a multi vitamin, collagen and biotin vitamins to my skincare about 10 years ago. I’m also almost 40 so our bodies normally lose natural vitamins and collagen. But yes, I was the queen of over exfoliating lol
Yeah, me too. Once I scrubbed my forehead pimples so hard, my mother thought I had fallen face first on the sidewalk.
omg has it caused premature aging or permanently affected your skin in any way?
@@Jessie-qy7ec luckily not, I now have had a healthy routine, and my skin is really nice now 😭💘 my acne scars are minimal too, people have to really look closely to realise they're there. All good mate.
@@amy-bethtaylor2656 thank the lord i was panicking so badly
😭hopefully my skin will improve as i get older too
I've struggled with dehydrated skin for the longest time and that led to my skin producing so much oil and with the humidity in my area, it was an oily mess. I was never really insecure because it looked like glass skin but people were always like "OMG WHY ARE YOU SOOOO OILEH" so I had to curb it. I stopped using my exfoliating toner everyday and now use it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at night. My skin has improved so much since.
SAME EXPERIENCE!!
when i mean same experience, I mean the exact same this is creepy O_o
@@ayacatabijan6512 Lol, I also incorperated double cleasing once a day, not cleansing in the AMs.
@@ToyCircle same but before I knew about double cleanse i used to use micellar water as toner and not wash it off 😭
@@ayacatabijan6512 I see, that must have dried your skin. Oh well. All is well now I hope.
I used to use clay masks daily and didnt know what moisturizer was
For anyone wondering abt that waxy look - it’s also common on the forehead after overexfoliation. If you use a super strong acid on your face every day, it’s common you’ll notice your forehead get SUPER shiny. Not oil shiny, the kind of shiny that looks like someone is stretching your skin. It’s typically tight, dry, and feels weird to raise your eyebrows lol. That’s a hint that you should hold back a bit 😂
OMG that is exactly what happened to me trying to get rid of PIH. I am using a BHA 2% with mandelic acid 1% cleaner for a minute everyday and my forehead was glowing in a bad way. Okay dialing back on that cleanser.
@@hrhsophiathefirst4060 Good luck :)
@Nessa I remember being so excited when it first happened. I was like “omg it looks so cool!”. Now I know it’s not good news at all 😂
Omg that’s exactly what was happening when I was using my ren toner every other day 😳 and I was like wow my skin is so smooooth. But then I’d go to my makeup school and foundation would just look awful and patchy ... it makes so much sense now 😭
I am going through that now😩
When I was in my early 20s, I thought the idea of buying facial washes with some sort of “microdermabrasion” action and heading out at noon with no moisturizer and sunscreen was a good idea. I started my real skin care journey when I was 28 and started wearing sunscreen everyday, it’s still a journey since when it comes to skincare, you have to find products that works for you.
Sometimes I think skincare should be taught thoroughly in high school. That’s when i also mistake, doing things I should not do. I wish I could go back time and teach the young me.
I'm sooo glad you're speaking up about this. Hopefully it becomes a bigger topic of discussion.
yess pls do a minimalist skin care routine video!
Cleanser, moisturizer , spf. Thats it
@@C00kingBadd thank u!
Cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen basically, unless there are other products you may need for different skin conditions
@@applescotchpie3003 i have acne and i use benzac as it has benzoyl peroxide
she just came out with one :)
St. Ives apricot scrub. Never again lol
Right of passage lol
I absolutely hated that stuff!
Only if I knew earlier... I had good skin until I started using scrubs, my skin became irritated and because my skin barrier is broken, bacterias started to kick into my skin. Damn it looked scary and my skin felt painful.
Oh shit noooo. I’ve been trying to build a skincare routine and I definitely have been using it everyday thinking it was the same as just a regular wash. Gotta cut back lol
YOU! YOU SAVED MY SKIN, CASSANDRA! My acne is gone, thanks to you. I'm forever grateful. Love you! Keep going ❤️
Pleeeease give us a routine for damaged skin barrier!
How to recover
Ohh yes! We are definitely gonna need a video on all how to care for a damaged skin barrier. The amount of times I have waxed my face and then turned and over exfoliated my skin but didn’t know until I was applying lotion on my face and my skin was on fire! I wanted to scream!!!
How to heal
Thank you for speaking up about this because this is actually something that I have also done all throughout high school and college. The culprit was honestly the marketing directed towards acne sufferers making us feel “unclean” and “dirty” AF. It was drilled into our brains that we must keep exfoliating and drying out the acne, then it will go away! That is so false and thank God that I found your channel at the time I did!
I remeber exfoliating everyday when I was 13-16 (sometimes even twice a day, oh god) because my skin was very oily and greasy and I thought I just have to clean it very often 😰
Oh no. Puberty sucks right! You're just so confused all the time
I’m so proud that I’ve been Cassandra’s subscriber for so many years
This was so on time ,my face is currently over exfoliated because I've been spot treating my acne with benzoyl peroxide a bit to much and it burns just in those spots ,it wasn't so hard to diagnose. This video is so helpful!
hey! the same thing happened to me. so these are the things i did. hope it helps.
so i when i realised i had over exfoliated, i stopped using it and chose to focus on repairing my moisture barrier. i used the ultra repair cream and it became normal after a few days. then i started using bp every other day and just a thin layer all over my skin. this cleared tf out my skin lol.
that’s all
@@mridini7041 I'm currently in the process of repairing it with ceremide moisturizer and taking a break from exfoliants. Just the basics
@@maxmurder9929 sounds great! update me when it gets better
Im a year late but BP isnt an exfoliant.. Its an anti bacterial. You were drying your skin out and stripping your micro biome :)
Timely reminder; going to put away my AHAs and BHAs for a bit.
Imma remind u this
I also did the whole exfoliating disaster in my teens... it was baaaaad and even though I did go to dermatologist for help all they ever told my was ,take the pill. It clears your skin and is also a contraceptive‘
Please do a skincare routine for someone on accutane during winter who is prone to blackheads, closed comedones, and fungal acne and doesn’t react well to oils. If you’re wondering why this is so specific it’s bc it’s me... I’m that someone 😭
This video is just what I needed. 🥲 I am obsessed with skincare and learning about skin which isn’t always a good thing because I overdo it sometimes and get over excited and try new things way too often. I also have acne so I end up over exfoliating and doing too much wanting quicker results KNOWING I shouldn’t 😂 thanks for talking some sense into me haha ❤️❤️ love your videos btw!
Hi, i am also a perfectionist. I am curious can you use a exfoliant around the eyes? I hope. I like a tone with some acids and I like to use it on a cotton pad and go over my closed eyes.
Curious if others are also doing that.
Yes please to a damaged skin barrier routine and recommendations!! 👏👏
Purito buffet,centea serum
Yup definitely went through this, I thought cleaning my skin more would help and definitely dried out my skin which caused me an obscene amount of anxiety. But I went to a dermatologist and that was the best thing. She told me all of my products were no good lol and she just gave me Cetaphil, mynocyclin and cerave and my skin was rid of the acne in about a week. I'm really into skin care now because of my experience and I love your videos because it's really skincare. I'm a guy so makeup wasn't something I knew how to do so couldn't get with that lol.
Love your videoooooosss😍
She feels like a genuine person, she's so damn refreshing! I recently subscribed, every video I've viewed is given effort and real info! Well, done. 👍😊
I'm always very cautious about exfoliation. Although whenever i buy a new product i always feel like i want to use it everyday, but i try to follow my mind and put aside my excitement, because i know that when it comes to exfoliating products, less is more.
Also, since i failed my diet many times and started to succeed after learning about the science behind it, i felt like skincare was not any different because both of them are primarily science-based. And i'm so thankful people like you, Dr. Dray and many other educated influencers exist. Because y'all have taught me about skincare tips which are backed by science and not fear-monger us with statements like "natural is better", etc.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that i've never experienced overexfoliation because of the education that you guys have spread on the internet, and i'm so thankful for it.
oof i’ve been there, good luck to everyone dealing with this now 🖤
Guilty of that. When I was in high school in the late 90’s exfoliation was all we knew for dealing with acne. I’m much more gentle on my skin now. I don’t use scrubs at all any more, only chemical exfoliants, and only when it feels like my skin needs it. I’m 37 and have the best skin of my life right now. 👍
queen can you please talk about why people wake up so oily in the morning? i have acne prone oily skin and i keep waking up EVERY DAY with super oily skin. i don’t know if i’m over cleansing or i’m using too many humectant products/moisturiser???
Try using less moisturizer at night. And definitely use a moisturizer that is made for oily, acne prone skin. Most moisturizers are marketed to be as moisturizing at possible, but people with oily skin don’t need that. Also, I really try to not sweat at night by wearing the right amount of pajamas depending on the weather and using layers of blankets so that I can remove one if I start sweating. Remember, the goal is progress, not perfectiong :)
@@zeeenno i’m going to try this tonight 💖💖 do you also think the air-con could play a part in it? i tend to keep it on decently cold and maybe that’s drying out my skin which is leading to over production of oil?? idk anyways thanks!!!!
I found that I actually thought I was super oily but I was dehydrating my skin and when moisturizing properly I’m more normal! I stopped washing my face in the am with cleanser and just use water and toner. I use a gel moisturizer in the am and a more intensive hydrating cream in the pm and top with a facial oil. I also have acne prone skin and found that this has helped me break out a little less!
@@kyle-tg7bi rooms with air conditioners tend to be much drier. If it really is the problem, you can try using a humidifier 😊
@@Laurensfuzzywuzzy oh wow! i’ve also tried not cleansing in the AM and it’s led me to a lot of breakouts, but i guess everyone’s skin is different !! thanks for the advice though
Oh, yes, korean skincare got me into all kinds of acids. Right now I stick to my combo tret (tret-glycolic acid-clindamycin) 2x/week and maybe a gentle enzymatic serum 1-2x/week. One of those could change for BHA on my nose for blackhead removal.
It amazes me the instructions on some of these exfoliating products “ use once or twice daily “!!!
So glad you brought this up! When I was buying a toner recently and I was turning and learning in the shop, it was so difficult to find one that didn’t have an exfoliating ingredient in!
I love you Cassandra! :) I clearly remember that before i wanted to buy clarisonic for myself when i was younger i seen it in your video and i was like "wow, she has acne (me too) and she said it works so i'm gonna buy it :D But lucky me - i was cooperating as acne fighting blogger with Loreal, so they send me one and i was so happy omg i remember this so vividly.. I'm so happy that i found your channel last year (once again) and now you have clean skin and i'm on route to get one too! :) My acne is almost gone (few hormonal pimples only) and my hyperpigmentation is also almost gone after YEARS of chemical peels, lasers, IPLs and at home skincare that i love. I'm so happy for BOTH of use (and for your warrior followers!) and wish you all do best! 😍 Sending so much love from Slovakia!!! :)
Hi, the image in your thumbnail shows a totally different condition which is misleading and disingenuous. It's called topical steroid withdrawal - it is not a result of overexfoliation, and there is not much recognition of the condition or its impact on sufferers. Would you consider doing a piece on tsw as well as changing the thumbnail to this vid?
Its just a teaser/ clickbaiting function, get over it. It how the internet works. She gaves us fundamental information, that’s what counts. Not her social media marketing strategy.
@@sneakers92sp that may be true but there is a real person behind that photo and it’s not okay to use her face without asking her first, she’s a friend of mine and was really upset by it being used
Would love a damaged skin barrier routine ! :)
Over exfoliating -vs- double cleanse. Both have bothered my normal skin. Cant imagine how it affects sensitive skin. LESS is MORE. do ur research. pls..holla back here if u wanna know if I can help with ur experience. xo
Double cleanse ruined your skin? :o As in step1 oil step2 gentle facewash in a form of a gel or balm? What did you use in your cleansing routine?
You always speak about things that you've suffered from, and that is the only reason I love your channel 🥺🥺
Thank you for sharing your journey with us all! You are sooo brave with all that you come forward with. As a person that has suffered with acne throughout my teen years and into my adult life, I can relate. By watching your videos in the past months, I have learned so much about my skin and I have been able to create a skincare routine that works for me. Thank you so much! Wish you all the best! I feel more beautiful inside and out! ❤️
I appreciated this video. I’ve been inside for four months on medical leave. The only thing that calms me down is baths, washing my face, and taking medicine. I know the waxy feeling and it looks like grease. It’s confusing. But I’m sticking with cold water, maybe a moisturizing face wash, moisturizer, and spf. From now on. The break outs on my cheeks and sides of my face and temples are the worse it’s ever been and I think it’s from the obsession of my face/acne. Ugh it’s frustrating. I can’t wait to go back to work now so I can keep my mind off it and not let me get depressed or sad. One of the things I need to be strict on myself on. Preying for myself 🙏😊
Has ur skin recovered ? Plz tell...also facing this rn😭
I subscribed and it made me look the video up again and watch an extra ad, so now you know how devoted to your content I am
When I was a teenager I had really bad acne and super oily skin and used to use a physically exfoliating scrub every day because I thought that would scrub it all away. Of course it didn't help, however, I have really resilient skin and it's always been able to handle anything I throw at it. This one time last year I really overdid it though! I was peeling, purging and whatnot because of tretinoin and still decided to use the AHA + BHA Peeling Solution from The Ordinary (because I've never had a problem with that before or after) this one night, which resulted in me getting severe chemical burns all over my face. Talk about overexfoliation!
@iwantajungle9039 how's ur skin condition now?
A routine for damaged skin would be great! I overexfoliated last april and my skin still hasn’t bounced back fully :’)
Girl u, hyram, the welsh twins, dr dre, the 60 second rule creator.. all subbed. Why didnt i find u all before i was 30 😪😪😪.. how you stay consistant i don't kmow but im so happy for us all and youx
So I found you a few months ago. Bought all my Inkey List products and started exfoliating. Recently began feeling stingy on my face and breaking out where my skin had cleared. Backed off the BHA, stopped the Hylauranic Acid and started double moisturizing. Got things back in order and now using the salycillic acid cleanser and the HA serum but making sure to really moisturize and my skin is better. It never crossed my mind to be more careful and possibly change my routine for winter months. Thanks for the videos!!!
Omg I wish you can do a video of creating your followers skin care routine😩
I love this video!! Thanks for the info❤️
OMG!!! 53.3% Not SUBSCRIBED TO THIS AMAZING CHANNEL!! What?!?
She is Skin Intellectual, who does not want to learn from her?
I’m so guilty of over exfoliating! Been working on it and THANK YOU for reminding me that I need ceramides! Thank you from my cheeks as well!
Thank you for such a positive video! This one was really refreshing! I am quite a bit older than you, but rely on your education and unbiased expertise to make good choices for my skin. So, a minimalist anti-aging routine would be FANTASTIC. I simply don't have time to do more than 3 steps in the morning and evening (even if I wanted to). I'm on the hunt for the most effective, simplistic, and safe routine. It's the only me time I get!
I know I said this before, but I’m so glad I found your channel.
I feel so guilty of this! Not in an extreme way but I recently bought an lha and used it once a day🤦♀️ I would be so grateful if you could upload a routine for this concern!
It was not your fault anyways, you were just trying to help yourself... You're very brave to be so open about your mistakes, thank you for sharing this ♡
I found out I’m VERY allergic to chemical sunscreen filters. I broke out in hives all over my face, I’ve been working on repairing my skin barrier for over a week now 😐 please patch test everyone!!
So sorry you have to go through this. Best of luck to you!
Me too! La roche posay dry touch SPF 50 is my bad guy. It BURNS! although i dont have problems with purito unscented SPF 50 (lol spf 19 ofc) im waiting for my mineral sunscreen to arrive
Wven I'm extremely allergic, to Chemical Sunscreens .My mother stopped me from using Sunscreen thinking that Sunscreens are bad for my skin but Thankfully I got Physical Sunscreen which suits my face
Yess please make a video on burnt skincare routine (and for how long would you suggest to continue it). I don't think I'm going to a derm anytime soon since she was the one who prescribed me an AHA wash + AHA (10% glycolic acid) moisturizer AND Epiduo, to use EVERYDAY! Ended up with burns but thankfully I stopped after 4 days
After a Tetracilyne treatment, where I was using no spf or moisturizer, I kept using my cleanser morning and night as my derm recommended. I was never told that the medication would make me photosensitive, spf was just added to my prescription and I just didn't realize it was so important and honestly I should have been prescribed a moisturizer as well. One day my entire face was red and my neck as well, ever since then my forehead is always flaky, when I go out in the sun my skin get red patches that are itchy...I'm currently trying to find a good routine to repair my skin and protect it but now I deal with even more issues than I had before considering my acne is back :D But I think I'm in the right place for that :)
❤️❤️❤️I love the fact that you are so open about what you have gone through ❤️❤️❤️
Do a video on what products to use when your skin barrier is damaged 🙏🏻✨
Yes please do a video on healing your skin barrier and helping dehydrated skin! X
I would love a video of a routine if you have wrecked your skin barrier from over exfoliation.
seeee but the only reason I used the retinol every night was because the inkey list told me it was safe 😭 I had a feeling I shouldn't apply it nightly, but I did anyways and now I regret it. PUHLEEEAAASEEE drop that routine to fix my moisture barrier. Great video as always. Stay safe and ily
Can't get enough of your videos! My skins oily-combination... but I watch everything 😄
Please do a barrier repair video
Minimalist skincare-just yes! Hate those round face scrubbers! I returned one after 1/2 use. That thing felt like S.O.S. pad on my face!
Okay but your thumbnail??? The image of the girl (right) on the thumbnail is suffering from TOPICAL STEROID WITHDRAWAL (TSW), not overexfoliation. Her picture was published on a TSW article: balmonds.co.uk/blogs/blog/why-language-matters-when-we-talk-about-topical-steroid-withdrawal
Why are you using it for your video? Confused and sort of clickbait
Benefit of the doubt, but maybe it turned up when she googled 'over-exfoliation'.
@@Elvoalven Which furthered represents the lack of research or respect when using that image? Talk about misinformation. The girl in that thumbnail has sent her an email to remove that photo as it is misinforming the public.

Thank you for speaking up on this! Exfoliation is all the craze these days but can cause so much damage! I over exfoliated my skin for the first time last week and it was a nightmare - red, splotchy, irritated cheeks for a week. Paired my routine down to gentle cleanser, gentle hydrating toner, nourishing moisturizers with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, and of course sunscreen. At night I would top it off with aquaphor to protect and seal in the moisture.
I used to go IN with my shower gloves on my face every day and tried to literally scrub acne off my face with st. ives in the past. ouch, I know. Only in the last month or so have I reduced my products and actives and started only using my hands and microfiber towels, have I seen a dramatic change in my skin. My skin is not dry/tight, flaking, or burning anymore and my acne has improved immensely. I've been really enjoying my skincare routine now that I'm not f****** up my own skin. IT WAS ALL ME!!
What do you do now?
Awwww I hear you. You are my skin problem twin. Clarisonic ruined my skin. I suffered from cystic acne too when I was a teen. It was a terrible phrase of my life. Then Clarisonic ruined my early 30s skin…thank god my acne is gone now. But last week I over exfoliated….🙈 doing nothing now for a while. Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you lots of skin love vibe.
Yes please share what to do with a damaged skin barrier!
Freshman year of college I got stress acne and I exfoliated multiple times a day to the point my dry skin became oily and sometimes raw, I really wish I had found your channel then, I know better now and my skin is back to normal.
I love your videos !! They’re entertaining and educational 💫
Wake up with Cass!! Getting ready to head into work for some ot so this is a most pleasant surprise.🖤🦋
You literally made this video right when I needed it
I remember scrubbing my face for an hour as a child and once I washed off the product my face would feel soft and waxy ,this explains why xD
HOW DID YOU DO IT FOR AN HOUR OMG
@@bethanyh3767 IDK xD
I remember doing it close to an hour ,I liked how soft it made my face
A minimalist routine would be nice! I love taking care of my skin, I've had routines with lots of products, but I confess I'm getting lazy! I want less products, or more multi-function products, so it will be less products in the end lol
My skin isnt perfect but it has definitely improved dramatically from following your tips inside and out
Cassandra always helping us look out for our skin barriers! 💞
Why are you using Hollie’s photo without her permission for your video thumbnail?
I have combo skin and would love to know how to balance a routine with exfoliating, retinol, and soothing/moisturizing/hydrating products!
My skin is irritated af rn please damaged skin barrier routine ASAP please 🙏 thanks for your experience
Your videos are saving my life. Thank you so much always
A minimal routine will be great! Maybe with only one active product.
Change your thumbnail, your using photos of Holly Broome that you did not get permission to use AT ALL. On top of that, she is going through TSW which has nothing to do with overexfoliation, the photos are completely misleading.
I never knew this growing up and no one told me! I ruined my skin because of over exfoliating and I hate that I did that.
Would love an updated skincare rutine! Trying to find a way to reduce the appearance of my acne scars. (I’m 31)
I went to a dermatologist because I have really bad and inflamed acne. He gave me a Benzoylperoxid cream and said I should use it every night. I have sensitive combination skin so after four days my skin was dry and started to get flaky really bad. After one week my skin started to burn when I was washing it and even when I put my daily moisturiser on. He said it’s normal and I just have to wait till the acne is gone and continue using it every night...
Please please make a video on how to take care of overexfoliated skin!🙏🏼
The Pixi glow tonic 'toner' is actually a chemical exfoliant cause it has 5% glycolic acid, but a Lotta ppl use it everyday unfortunately thinking it's just a toner
I would love to see a minimalist skincare routine !!♥️
Been there a few years ago with physical exfoliation and then chemical *sigh*
Just within the last 2 years my skin barrier has started to finally heal
Please! I need this damaged skin barrier routine! :)
What a traumatic exfoliation experience Cassandra! Truly horrific, you poor thing you
Here is my story. I suffered with severe acne and went to the dermatologist got prescribed acutane. I was using an bha face wash and adapalene gel with acutane at the same time. When I finished my treatment my skin was perfect like literally perfect. After I while I noticed that my skin got irritated and started using the PLC BHA 2%. I used it every other day and my skin wasn’t improving and then I started using it everyday. My skin got so good and I had normal pimples. Then I started getting this bumps on my skin and more pimples. Now I use the PLC BHA 2% ever other day and my skin literally has no bumps and a bit less acne than before. It’s so weird but I think I was low key over exfoliating.
YOU’RE FAMILY 💜
currently dealing with this :(
Same here😩
I did the same thing as a teenager--over exfoliate. I then broke out in the most hideous rash that looked like terminal acne. A jar of prescription cortisone cream (the strong stuff from a dermatologist) worked within hours to clear things up. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd still have that horrible blistery rash to this day.
This was so helpful! I can relate.
P.S. love ALL your videos 💓
Love your videos so much Casandra ❤️🦋 I’d love if you could make a vid for us in the sebborheic dermatitis club. I struggle so much w moisturizing my dry af skin without feeding the malesezia that feeds off oil on my face.
Need a damaged skin barrier routine.
Got caught up in using products with tea tree oil and sulpher (misdiagnosed with something contagious but never had it).
Used petroleum jelly to calm the irritation. Now dealing with itchy skin and eyebrows...flaky skin on my eyelids and chin breakouts. I rarely have blemishes. 😔
Thanks for this sis 😩💪🏽.
I did the EXACTLY SAME THING in high school, but try exfoliating TWICE a day, that hard blue scrub from Clean&Clear. I thought I was getting all the impurities out, but was actually destroying my skin, which turned crusty, filled with red spots, acne, and I actually got more blackheads. And still, I thought the problem was that I WASN’T exfoliating e n o u g h. The 2010’s were a chaotic time for my skin
I am very thankful that I watched this .....thank you ❤️
Exuviance microdermabrasion mask. Amazing amazing mask. But.. I IGNORANTLY thought it was a scub mask for years. It’s actually 10% glycolic acid and papaya enzymes with small crystals that I rubbed so damn hard on my face like once a week I WAS SUCH AN IDIOT 😅
Oh God, that happened to me too, I used wayy too many chemical exfoliants and I used to use them as a spot treatment. Fun times. Thanks for this video, I really enjoy watching your content!
Thank you so much for this video. I was doing the same. The skin around my mouth and cheeks are already dry. I never thought it is because I exfoliate too much. Thanks once again. I have learnt so many things from you.
