Dr. Ravali Yalamanchili highlights a rising skin issue called barrier fatigue, caused by over-exfoliation with acids, scrubs, retinoids, and peels. Signs include redness, burning, flaking, and sensitivity. Recovery involves pausing actives, using barrier-repairing moisturisers and sunscreen, then reintroducing actives gradually. Gentle, structured skincare protects the skin's natural barrier.
