Experts Advise Prioritizing Skin Barrier Repair Over Over-Exfoliation Ahead of Festive SeasonPreviousNext

As the festive season approaches in India, skincare experts advise prioritizing skin barrier repair over aggressive treatments like over-exfoliation, which can cause irritation and pigmentation issues, especially for Indian skin. The current skincare trend emphasizes maintaining hydration and protecting the skin's natural barrier rather than adding multiple active products. Professionals recommend choosing treatments based on skin type and recovery time, focusing on calming and strengthening the skin to achieve a healthy, resilient complexion.
