As is the case with all skin treatments, too much of a good thing can also be bad. And in this case, the result can be over-exfoliated skin.
There are tons of exfoliating products like scrubs, masks, toners and peels available these days. With an excess of options, it is very likely that you might be over-exfoliating your face right now without even knowing it!
Read on to learn the warning signs of over-exfoliation and how to effectively do damage control if you fall victim to over-exfoliated skin!
The most obvious signs of over-exfoliated skin are redness, dryness, irritation and increased sensitivity. This essentially means that you have buffed away your skin’s barrier — the layer that keeps irritants out and lock moisture in.
It is important to note that it is normal to experience redness and sensitivity immediately after stronger exfoliating treatments like chemical peels. However, if your skin remains this way days after you applied the peel, this means you need to tone it back a little and focus on repairing the skin.
YEOUTH Glycolic Acid 30% Gel Peel ($27.49) and Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel ($27.49) are chemical peels you can do at home. They are easy to use and provide a gentle way of exfoliating the skin. Use them properly, along with our amazing YEOUTH skin care and experience the YEOUTH difference! Follow the instructions carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin, and take note of the after-care regimen.
YEOUTH Retinol Serum ($21.95), Retinol Eye Cream ($19.99) and Retinol Moisturizer ($21.99) also offers the daily yet gentle exfoliation your skin needs! Choose your fountain of YEOUTH from this fabulous skincare line up!

Exfoliating is a great way to keep your pores free of debris and excess oil. However, too much of it can actually weaken the skin barrier, allowing blemish-causing bacteria to thrive and cause pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, acne and other blemishes.
Shiny skin is often mistaken as a positive outcome of exfoliating. If your skin looks waxy, almost plastic-like, this means that you have over-exfoliated to the point that you have stripped away your natural skin texture.
This might seem like a good thing but your skin barrier is actually suffering. That dewy glow should come from your serums and moisturizers – not your exfoliators!
Noticing any of these signs on your skin? Stop exfoliating for at least two weeks to let your skin fully recover. Use products that will support the healthy growth of your skin, especially ones targeted at re-building the skin barrier, while protecting and hydrating your skin at the same time.
Our nourishing YEOUTH Day/Night Cream ($24.95) does this with its ingredients like snail extract and tripeptides that help repair skin damage and strengthen skin from within. This moisturizer is also packed with the powerhouse ingredient hyaluronic acid that works to provide optimal hydration to the skin by replenishing moisture levels deep within and locking it in.
Another option is the YEOUTH Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum ($16.45). This best-selling serum replenishes your skin’s moisture levels instantly. Apply some few pumps onto your skin twice daily to restore a healthy, plump and vibrant appearance.
It is also even more important to remember to apply SPF daily. Over-exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun damage which will only cause further irritation.

The new season brings in a lot of changes in the environment that can significantly affect our skin. There are common skin problems that usually occur during autumn because of lower humidity levels and colder temperatures.
Serums are usually formulated with the most active skincare ingredients, this make serums effective at improving skin tone, providing extra protection against outside stressors, and treating skin that exhibit signs of aging. Most serums are lightweight making them absorb quickly and deeper into the skin.
