The Budget Dermatologist

Stop using “soap” on your skin. 🧼❌ You should be using a “cleanser” instead!
True soap (think Dial, Ivory...) is highly alkaline...and your skin is acidic. This causes a mismatch that  disrupts your skin barrier, strips away natural oils, and leaves your skin dry, itchy, and irritated.
Instead, use a gentle, pH-balanced body CLEANSER (think Dove beauty bar). It cleans just as well without damaging your skin barrier.
💡 And here’s another dermatologist tip: You don’t need to wash your entire body with cleanser every day. For most people, your armpits, groin, feet, and any visibly dirty areas are enough!!

Popping pimples? Biotin for hair loss? Toner for rosacea? 👀

Save this for the next time you’re deciding what’s actually worth using!
