A dermatologist warns that excessive skincare routines, including multiple products and frequent procedures, may be harming skin rather than helping it. Dr. Gaurav Garg notes an increase in patients with problems stemming from 'skin overload,' where aggressive treatments and lack of recovery time weaken the skin barrier, leading to issues like breakouts and irritation. He advises that while science can help, it must be applied correctly, emphasizing the importance of rest and repair for healthy skin.
