Troubled Barrier
Bear in mind, troubled skin isn’t a failure; it’s a signal, and we’re here to help interpret it.
“I’m not mad. I’m just tired of being misunderstood.”
The Overworked Rebel
The passionate friend with too much on their plate, who needs rest & balance to shine again.
Overreactive
Reactive & outspoken - can’t hide frustration (acne breakouts).
Rebellious
Swings between extremes - clear one week, congested the next.
Stressed
Needs boundaries & structure to calm down.
Your skin is fighting pollution, oil buildup and hormones all at once. When it’s overwhelmed, it lashes out.
Understanding Your Skin
What does a troubled barrier feel or look like:
- Stressed, inflamed, easily overwhelmed
- Oily yet tight in places
- Tender, sore, uncomfortable
- Reactive to products and environment
- Breaking out repeatedly under pressure
Your skin is constantly on edge - stressed, tired, breaking out in protest.
Skin Care Focus: Detox, rebalance & soothe inflammation - give your skin structure and relief.
Care Guide
Troubled skin doesn’t need punishment - it needs structure, consistency, and calm.
Congestion worsens when your barrier function is compromised.
Calm the Chaos

- Cleanse gently, twice daily
- Use gentle exfoliants to remove sticky dead skin cells such as Gluconolactone (PHA) or Salicylic Acid (BHA)
