Dermaplaning is not ideal for everyone. If you have thicker, darker facial hair or reactive skin, repeated shaving can sometimes trigger: • irritation • ingrown hairs • folliculitis • barrier disruption A treatment that works well for fine peach fuzz may not work the same way for coarse h

Normalize treating post acne marks IMMEDIATELY instead of waiting 7 business years and hoping for the best 😭 Silicone based scar products? Smart. Turmeric, yogurt, manuka honey? Love them for calming inflammation and brightening post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. But let’s be real… skincar

As someone who gets headaches from almost every perfume 😭 @dedcool one of the ONLY fragrance brands I can spray directly on my skin without irritation, hives, or instantly regretting my life choices. The Milk collection??? Elite. Extra Milk, Mochi Milk, Mineral Milk ✨ Clean, warm, skin-like

Your skin barrier after 14 exfoliating products at once: 😭🔥 Lactic acid. BHA. Liquid microneedling. More acids. At some point your skin is not “glowing.” It’s irritated. This is exactly how people end up with dermatitis, eczema flare-ups, and damaged skin barriers. Friendly reminder

Melasma mustaches are actually evil so yes… PLEASE reapply your SPF 😭☀️ But quick reminder from your friendly skin-obsessed estie: if your sunscreen doesn’t contain zinc oxide, it may not be doing enough for melasma-prone skin. #melasmamustache #melasma #melasmatreatment

Cortisone shots can be AMAZING for emergency acne situations. Keyword: emergency 😭🚨🆘 If your cystic breakout is so painful you can’t smile or sleep, yes, sometimes a cortisone injection is worth it. But if cortisone shots are your entire acne plan and you keep needing them over and over ag

“clear skin in 7 days” she needs to be stopped immediately 😭 acne is not copy + paste. different causes = different treatment plans. hormones, barrier damage, congestion, inflammation, stress, gut issues, over-exfoliation, pore-clogging products… your skin is literally telling a story. wh

I just saved you from sitting through a whole routine that made zero clinical sense 😭 If you’re only rinsing your face with water, you’re not cleansing. Sebum, SPF, and environmental buildup require an actual cleanser to be removed 🧼 And throwing random, trendy products into your routine with

“I haven’t exfoliated in 3 years” … respectfully, yes you have 😭 If you’re using tretinoin or any acids, you’re increasing cell turnover aka chemical exfoliation. No scrub ≠ no exfoliation. Physical exfoliation is optional. Chemical exfoliation is what’s actually driving the glow ✨ So

Okay let’s talk about the coconut situation for a sec 🥥 Everyone’s obsessed, everyone’s glowing, everyone’s buying… but let’s zoom out. If you’re acne-prone, coconut-derived ingredients (yes, even the “clean girl” ones) can be a fast track to clogged pores and breakouts. Not always, but often

YOUR SKINCARE MIGHT BE FAILING YOU… and it’s not the products 😭 it’s the ORDER. layering actually matters if you want results (and not just ✨vibes✨) think: lightest → heaviest • mists / sprays first • serums next (this is where the good stuff lives) • corrective actives after — tret, ret

Ugh can you believe some estheticians do this?! #fyp #estheticianmemes

Your skin isn’t “random”… it’s reporting 🧬 #flomedicine Breakouts, dullness, hair shedding, low glow? Sometimes it’s not your products it’s your labs. A full panel looks at hormones, iron levels, vitamin deficiencies, lipids, and overall metabolic health… aka the stuff your skin reacts to bef

STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE 😭 one pimple ≠ the problem the **picking** is what leaves you with months of pigment I know you’re gonna do it anyway… so at least do it right: – if it doesn’t come out EASY after a shower → leave it – no nails. ever. (q-tips only if it’s ready) – cover it so you

“Non-comedogenic” isn’t a guarantee. It’s a buzzword. Your skin ≠ everyone else’s – oil levels – hormones – barrier + microbiome Same product can clear one person and clog another. Stop trusting labels. Start understanding your skin 💜

Your sunscreen might be doing less than you think 🫣 SPF 30 vs. 50 isn’t a real upgrade. 97% vs. ~98% UVB. SPF only covers burning. Not redness, pigment, or sensitivity. Check the formula. I want 9%+ zinc. Zinc = broader protection, calmer skin, less pigment triggers. Read the label,

Your workout clothing may be contributing to breakouts 👀 Tight, non-breathable fabrics like nylon can trap heat, sweat, and bacteria against the skin, creating an environment that commonly leads to back, chest, and gluteal acne. This is especially common during high-intensity or heated workout c

if your acne gets worse before it gets better… it’s probably purging 😭 treatments speed up cell turnover, bringing everything underneath to the surface it can happen with topicals and even supplements annoying? yes. normal? also yes. once it clears out, that’s when real progress starts

THE PICKING RULE 😭 If it doesn’t come out easily with two q-tips after a warm shower… leave it alone. Everything else you’re doing is just creating more problems. Picking leads to hyperpigmentation, scabbing, and can even push bacteria deeper into the skin. That’s how one pimple turns into

Your skin isn’t breaking out because of vacation it’s breaking out because your entire routine is off. 🧠✈️ First things first: skip the in-flight mask. The air, the seats, the surfaces airplanes are not the place for an open skincare routine. What you should be doing instead: → Cleanse
