Has this ever happened to you? 🤔

For the last 4 weeks Ive been reviewing a personalized routine. Yesterday I decided to go back to my old routine because I noticed my skin was feeling more congested than usual - The routine Id been using didnt have any exfoliating products in it. So last night I did my standard double cleanse followed by a toner. As soon as I put the toner on, I could feel my face tingle (which its never done with this toner before) then I looked in the mirror and my skin was quite red. I followed up with a calming ampoule and moisturizer. The redness was gone after about an hour or so. I had used the glow recipe Watermelon bha pha toner for over a month before I changed routines. I've never had a reaction like this in the past. Has anyone had this happen before? Could it be because I went so long without using any exfoliating products?

our skin typically works on a four week cycle, so it would make sense that you may have this reaction, as its basically brand new skin that has never been exfoliated before, in a roundabout kind of way. you may have to take it easy with the exfoliation until your skin builds up a tolerance again. xxx💕💞💕

I have applied a toner which I had been applying for 2 week. I applied it once and it started to burn and it burned my whole top layer of skin on my skin. :( My chin is very sensitive. I would tell you to only apply a little and the ease into applying more on the area. That is what I am doing and I sweat a lot so that could also aggravate the skin. I notice when I applied it at night that my face did not sting or turn red. So now I only apply it at night. Just try different things out! Everybody’s skin is different!✨😄💕

Our skin cells take about a month to turn over, it is possible that since then your skin has “forgotten” what exfoliation feels like! You may have to ease back into exfoliation products, maybe starting with a less harsh/lower concentration
