Can pores really open and close? Join us on Talk Skin Academy as we challenge this common skincare myth and reveal the truth behind it. We'll dive into the anatomy of pores, explaining their connection to hair follicles and the crucial roles of sebaceous glands and the acid mantle in keeping our skin healthy. You'll learn why treating your skin as the vital organ it is matters more than falling for marketing gimmicks.
Do you think having dry skin means fewer wrinkles? Think again. Our discussion covers the surprising benefits and challenges of dry and oily skin types. Discover how dry skin, despite its minimal pores, can suffer from micro-tears and inflammation, while oily skin may actually protect better against aging. We also bust the myth that temperature changes can affect pore size and clarify that skin doesn't detoxify the body—that's the job of your liver and kidneys.
Confused about skin purging versus reactions? We've got you covered. Learn how ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, and retinols work to renew your skin, what to expect during a purge, and how to differentiate it from adverse reactions. We’ll also highlight the pivotal role of pH balancing toners in maintaining your skin's health and preparing it for active ingredients. By the end, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to foster a resilient skin barrier and achieve a glowing complexion.
