CL esthetician Lizzy Boyle shares her perspective on one of the most common underlying factors she sees behind acne, rosacea, redness, sensitivity, and reactive skin.
What Your Skin May Be Trying to Tell You
Acne. Rosacea. Redness. Sensitivity. Puffiness.
While we often think of these as separate concerns, they frequently share a common thread: inflammation.
When the skin is under stress, whether from over-exfoliation, environmental factors, lifestyle habits, or a compromised barrier, it often responds with visible signs that something is out of balance.
Rather than asking, "How do I get rid of this?" I often start by asking, "What is the skin trying to communicate?"
The Four Things I Focus On
My Go-To Products
When skin is feeling reactive, my approach is rarely to add more. Instead, I reach for products that support hydration, barrier repair, and overall skin resilience.
Below are a few of my go-to recommendations for sensitive, rosacea-prone, acne-prone, and inflamed skin.
From Lizzy's Kitchen
My approach to nutrition mirrors my approach to skincare: simple, intentional, and rooted in nourishment. This is one of my favorite meals when I'm looking to support overall wellness and healthy, resilient skin.
