Dr. Anthony Youn explains why men wreck their skin with over-exfoliating and harsh products. He breaks down the microbiome damage from stripping away natural oils and bacteria that protect your face.
One thing that we have realized is that our skin contains a microbiome just like our gut. And that microbiome, there's trillions of bacteria living on the surface of your skin as well. And when we do, when we're overly aggressive with skin care, you know, scrubbing our face too much, you know, I know guys who use pumice soap on their face, for God's sakes, then you can really disrupt that microbiome. And those bacteria, like the bacteria in your gut, are super important for keeping that skin nice and healthy. So that would be the second thing, I think, that guys do that definitely will ruin their skin.
Okay, I had a problem with that. I had one of those clarisonic brushes a while ago, and I have, like, a patch of rosacea here that I've mostly ipled off just from over. It kind of felt nice to vibrate. Brush your. Like, my pores were so smooth and dewy and what? I don't know. But I don't use that much anymore, so. Because over. So there's over exfoliating, washing with your butt soap.
