Skip Alcohol Toners
- Avoid alcohol-based toners that strip skin and increase oil production.
- Toners are generally unnecessary unless for specific uses like athletic sweat management.
Use Glycolic Acid Safely
- Use glycolic acid (AHA) to exfoliate daily for texture, tone, acne, and fine lines.
- Beware of higher concentrations bought online which can cause chemical burns.
BHAs Target Oily, Acne Skin
- BHAs like salicylic acid target oily, acne-prone skin with exfoliation, unlike AHAs which are more anti-aging.
- Many over-the-counter and dermatologist-recommended products contain BHAs for skin clearing.
