❗What to Avoid in february❗
🚫 Physical scrubs
🚫 Over-exfoliating more than twice a week
🚫 Skipping moisturizer as weather warms
🚫 Introducing multiple new actives at once
February is about refinement, not repair.
After rebuilding your skin barrier in January, this is the moment to gently smooth texture, restore radiance, and rebalance oil without stripping away moisture. Thoughtful exfoliation now helps prevent congestion, dullness, and uneven tone as humidity increases in the coming months.
When done correctly, February skincare sets the stage for clearer pores, brighter skin, and better tolerance to heat and sun later in the year.
Slow, consistent adjustments win this month.
