It's crazy they think it's safe. Baking soda wrecks your skin's pH. Gotta shut that down fast.
This regular came in with less redness and breakouts, and she said it started when she stopped drinking pop. It hit me that stuff we drink might mess with skin as much as what we put on it. How do you handle when clients ask if changing their diet will help their skin?
I was working on a client with what seemed like normal skin. I must have set the intensity too high without realizing it. Her face got really red and she said it stung a lot. I had to stop early and use a cool compress to help. Now I always do a slower test pass first.
