Think of your skin barrier as an invisible suit of armor—protecting you from irritants, moisture loss, and damage you don’t even see. In this episode, we dive into what the skin barrier really is, why it’s so crucial for healthy, glowing skin, and practical ways to keep it strong and resilient.

Overexfoliated skin doesn’t look “glowy”—it looks inflamed, reactive, and stuck in a cycle that won’t heal. In this episode, we break down what overexfoliation actually is at a skin-barrier level, why redness, stinging, breakouts, and texture persist even when you’re “doing everything right,” and how chronic inflammation quietly sets in.

We’ll talk about the most common ways people overexfoliate (often without realizing it), why purging is frequently misdiagnosed, and how advanced treatments, actives, and at-home routines stack damage instead of delivering results. Most importantly, you’ll learn what skin truly needs to recover—what to stop, what to protect, and why slowing down is often the fastest path to healthy skin.
