Are You Overdoing Your Skincare?

October 6, 2026·28 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

If your skin is suddenly dry, red, flaky or stinging, your routine may be working against you. This week, we break down what your skin barrier actually does, how over-exfoliating and piling on products can damage it, and what barrier repair really means. Then we get into why exfoliation still matters, especially as cell turnover slows with age, and how to do it without pushing your skin too far.Listen wherever you get your podcasts, follow @faciallyconscious on social media, join us on Substack, shop our picks on ShopMy, and find everything at www.faciallyconscious.com
