Kirsten Steward, founder, Kirsten Steward Beauty Therapy, Chatteris: “Cheap foaming cleansers, lack of daily SPF, over and incorrect use of acids, mainly due to cherry picking after advice from influencers!”
Rosanna Sulovari, owner, Twin Oaks Beauty, Kent: “Over exfoliating – including over or wrongly using all the acids like salicylic and glycolic and retinols too, self-prescribing their skincare from the likes of The Ordinary. They’ve seen bloggers and influencers using and recommending these ingredients. The majority of the clients I see with the most impaired barriers are 17–30-year-olds.”
