Routine goals/notes: • Gentle products with effective ingredients • Prioritize M O I S T U R E (protect skin barrier when using actives) • Reduce fungal/malassezia triggers where possible (but some products do have a couple of triggers, YMMV) IMPORTANT!! BEFORE USING ANY PRODUCT WITH HYALURONIC ACID, SPRAY/PAT WATER ONTO YOUR SKIN TO DAMPEN IT AND THEN APPLY YOUR PRODUCT. THE HA WILL RETAIN THE WATER AND CHANGE YOUR MOISTURE GAME FOR REAL. DO IT FOR EVERY HA PRODUCT
