IS DRYNESS AND BURNING NORMAL?
- If anything burns or stings your skin for over two minutes, please rinse it off and email me.
- Mild dryness is expected while your skin is clearing, but if you experience extreme dryness, cracking, or peeling, email me immediately! Your skin should not be uncomfortable or painful. Skin that is a little dry usually clears faster.
- As soon as there is an issue, don't hesitate to contact us with details on what you are experiencing, along with photos. We will help you resolve it without interfering with your clear skin plan. Please only stop your routine after contacting us.
