Gentle Exfoliation Without Overdoing It: A Guide for Moms

A practical guide to exfoliating slowly, protecting the skin barrier and recognizing when your routine has gone too far.

01

What exfoliation does

Acids such as glycolic acid loosen bonds between surface cells; strength and frequency affect tolerance.

02

Start slowly

Follow the label and do not combine several exfoliating products on the first night.

03

Recognize over-exfoliation

Burning, persistent redness, sensitivity or flaking can mean the routine is too aggressive.

04

Hydrate and simplify

Pair exfoliation with moisturizer and avoid adding several new actives together.

05

Use daytime protection

Exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity, so use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
