A short skincare clip advising that BHA (salicylic acid) is intended for oily, congested skin because it penetrates pores, and is not appropriate for dry skin. The speaker recommends alternatives for dry skin such as glycolic, lactic, or mandelic acids and offers to give product recommendations in the comments.
Should I get a BHA toner to exfoliate my dry skin? Are you talking to me? A lot of people think that they're doing the right thing by using a BHA if they have dry skin. But the reality is, a BHA is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid goes deep into your pores. It's not for dry skin. It's for people with oily skin who are clogging up or are getting crud buildup in their pores and they need to get rid of it. So no, if you have dry skin, do not use a BHA toner. Instead, look for something with glycolic acid or lactic acid, or even mandelic acid. Let me know if you have any questions. Sorry. Or if you want products or if you need recommendations, leave them below.
