It’s “normal” to over-exfoliate skin – and unfortunately, that’s the model that popular skin care promotes. Everyone wants better skin. Even if we have great skin, we always want to find a way to get BETTER skin. This is the hook that pulls people into the world of “corrective,” “clinical,” “medical,” and “anti-aging” skin care. Here are the signs of over exfoliated skin.
The most common outdated skin strategy is – yep, you guessed it – over-exfoliation. Most American skin care professionals are oblivious to the fact that there is another way to resurface & increase skin cell turnover: topical, patented Dermal Nutrients. This feeds our skin in such a profound way that we can increase cell turnover without over-exfoliation & trauma.
Over-exfoliation distresses the skin, causing oil production imbalance, premature dermal thinning, unnecessary sun sensitivity, & chronic skin dehydration. We’ve been trying to get better skin, we are making it worse instead.
The Signs of Over Exfoliated Skin
Beware of the signs of over-exfoliated and over-processed skin. Skin that is:
*Tender, puffy, dry, hot, red, flakey, mad, grumpy, splotchy, inflamed, hyper-sensitive
*Excessively oily
*Quick to sunburn and hyper-pigment. *Upset no matter what you do
* Gets worse with failed attempts to calm it down & restore balance
The best cure for over-processed and over-exfoliated skin is to begin Skin Harmonics protocols – or at least go with the “cave man regimen” and give your skin a full break.
I recommend exfoliation once a month for normal skin. Twice a month at the most. Only weekly exfoliation is recommended as a maximum for skin dealing with acne.
Exfoliation is best done with enzymes, so as to not risk over-exfoliation. One of the worst things about conventional exfoliation is that it causes chronic, topical dehydration. Instead, I sell a unique enzyme exfoliator called Revive that hydrates while simultaneously giving a perfect exfoliation. New skin cells are produced from the absorption and metabolization of Dermal Nutrients instead of forced trauma. This is a much more sustainable way to achieve skin resurfacing, correct acne, and slow aging. Reach out to set up a Virtual Complimentary Consultation to learn more!

I took many wrong turns when I started learning about skin at 19. The more I spent on skincare, equipment, and training, the further I felt from actually helping skin. I was frustrated with only being able to offer temporary and superficial solutions at best. What emerged from the disappointment and turmoil, I now call, The Regenerative Skin Process. Skin Harmonics is a dedicated medical fusion holistic skincare clinic that provides a root cause approach delivering lifetime skin health through medical grade skin care products, new learning, and Deep Pore Cleansing Facials.
