3 things I never do to my skin, and why 👇
1️⃣ I don’t pop pimples between the bridge of my nose and my upper lip. The skin here sits close to blood vessels that connect to the face and eyes, so inflammation in this zone can spread further than you’d expect. A painful breakout there is a reason to see a specialist, not the mirror.
2️⃣ I don’t use retinol as a spot treatment on a single pimple. Retinol works as prevention: used consistently across the whole face, it helps stop new breakouts before they start.
3️⃣ I don’t wax while I’m using retinol. Retinoids make skin more sensitive, so waxing can irritate it and take part of the top layer along with the hair. Ask your specialist when to pause retinol before any hair removal.
