Why Over-Skincare Is the New Skin Problem (Yes, Really)

Intro: When “Self-Care” Turns Into Skin Burnout

Ten-step routines.
Layered acids.
Daily exfoliation.
Constant product switching.

Your skin is tired.

More Products = More Variables

Each product introduces:

new ingredients
new allergens
new preservatives
new interactions

Sensitive skin doesn’t want variety — it wants predictability.

Barrier Damage Is the Real Issue

Over-cleansing and over-exfoliating:

strip lipids
weaken defenses
increase inflammation

Once the barrier breaks, everything burns.

Why Minimalism Works

Dermatologists often recommend:
✔ gentle cleanser
✔ barrier-supporting moisturizer
✔ sunscreen

That’s it.

Simple routines heal faster.

Final Thought

More isn’t better.

Better is better.

Pleasantly surprised

Pleasantly Surprised by the Black Shimmer!

I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant to order the black shimmer eye pencil since I’ve been loyal to a chocolate brown shade from another brand. At 84 years young, I was concerned the black might look too harsh. But I’m so glad I gave Epilynx a try! The color is soft yet defined, with just the right amount of shimmer to brighten my eyes without overpowering them. It glides on effortlessly, feels gentle, and stays put all day. I use it only on the outer corners with a small wing, and it beautifully opens up my eyes. A lovely find that makes me feel polished and confident!

Beautiful Coverage

I really like this foundation. I was afraid to try because I wasn't sure what color would match, but I contacted the company and they suggested a color that matches well. It is silky without being wet, sticky or oily. It covers well, even some very dark sun spots are less noticeable, and the finish feels light and natural. For reference, I have mature skin and many allergies. Nice to find a company that understands the need for clean makeup and skin care.

Exactly what I was looking for

I love this eyeliner! It stays put and it doesn't burn my eyes. And the lid doesn't pop off like others.

Love This Mascara!

I loooove this mascara, especially the blue color. It's bright and perfect for my vibe. The formulation is excellent for my skin issues and glides on easily. I never break out in a rash when I use this mascara and I have with so many other brands. I have also tried the purple. It's not as bright as the blue but still a lovely color if you have the right style for it!

I love the face wash, this is the fourth time I've ordered. It's gentle and hydrating
