This Skincare Trend Can Lead To Fungus On Your Face???

Nearing 40 and beyond, my social media is bombarded with anti-aging skincare ads—red light devices, sheet masks, you name it. It’s like I’ll crumble to dust without spending a fortune! I love my SPF and moisturizer, but the pressure to overdo it feels off. Then I saw Dr. Shereene Idriss (@ShereeneIdriss) debunk the “moisturize endlessly” trend. She says too much moisture can cause fungi, acne, or rosacea flare-ups by weakening your skin barrier. Comments from others confirmed it—over-moisturizing led to breakouts and irritation. Dr. Idriss suggests listening to your skin. In dry climates, layer hydration; in humid ones, keep it light. Her faves? Glycerin for moisture and squalane for smoothness. Ever overdone your skincare? What do you think of her advice? #SkincareTips #AntiAgingMyths #HealthySkin #SkincareRoutine #Skincare #MoistureMishaps
