quick tip

I just learnt from a friendly and helpful Wastsons SL that sudden breakouts can possiby be due to over-exfoliation. I am guilty as charged in this sector. I used to exfoliate my face once weekly but after switching to St Ives Apricot Scrub Brightening, I exfoliate three times per week. I naively presumed this practice to be acceptable because directions on the back of the tube instructed that using it 3-4 times per week will produce best results. However, I now learnt that my skin does not require such heavy exfoliation and the salicylic acid content in the St Ives scrub could be too harsh on my skin. Thou shalt be a more discerning skincare junkie from now on!
