Ep. 263 Are Your Skincare Products Breaking You Out? Ingredients + Dupes
In this episode, we’re breaking down the nuance behind comedogenic ingredients, why they aren’t inherently “bad,” and how your individual skin type, barrier health, and formulation all play a role in whether a product will actually break you out.
I also dive into some of the new skincare products right now and share cleaner, more skin-supportive alternatives—so you can make swaps without sacrificing results.
We’ll cover:
What “pore-clogging” really means (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all)
Why ingredient lists alone don’t tell the full story
The role of skin barrier health in breakouts
How to assess if a product is actually right for YOU
Cleaner dupes for trending skincare products
If you’ve been avoiding ingredients out of fear or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information, this episode will help you make more confident, informed decisions about your skincare.
Learn how to work with your skin—not against it.
