A little reminder of what REAL SKIN looks like. Even A list celebrities, with all the money in the world, have texture, pores and the occasional bad skin day.
The pursuit of “glass skin” is one of the most damaging trends for the skins epidermal barrier because it encourages people to chase something that doesn’t exist. Real skin has texture. Real skin has pores.
The trend popularised lengthy, multi step routines promising flawless, poreless skin. But overworking your skin always catches up with you. The result? Barrier impairment, perioral dermatitis, breakouts, sensitivity and inflammation. 🔥
Now I’m seeing “glass skin” treatments combining ablative lasers, microneedling, hydradermabrasion, dermaplaning and peels, sometimes all in one session 🤯
That bright red, shiny skin flooding your feed isn’t healthy. It’s inflamed, vulnerable and coated in oil to exaggerate the shine under ring lights. That’s not glow. It’s a skin barrier in distress.
Healthy skin is built with patience, intention and respect for your skin’s biology. That’s where real glow, plumpness and smoothness come from.
Choose treatments that work with your skin, not against it. Think LED, microneedling, microcurrent, sonophoresis & iontophoresis, paired with physiologically compatible skincare.
If you’re going to take your skin seriously, choose someone who takes your skin seriously too. I’m here when you’re ready. 🙋🏻♀️
P.S. If someone’s advertising “glass skin”… RUN. 🏃🏻♀️
