Basically broken skin means anything like a popped pimple which is essentially an open wound.

If you apply skincare, especially ones contain active ingredients like chemical exfoliants onto broken or compromised skin you will damage your skin even more.

So please be careful. 

When a product says not to apply to “broken” or “compromised” skin, what does this mean? Also, what happens if you do apply your skincare on compromised skin?
