Overheard a client on the phone about her old skincare routine

She was telling a friend she used to scrub her face raw with a walnut shell scrub every night. Made me realize how much basic education we still need to do, even with all the info online. Anyone else have a client story that shows a common misconception you're still fighting?

Oh my gosh, the walnut shell thing makes me cringe. Just read an article where a derm said physical scrubs like that can cause micro-tears, especially used daily. It's wild how the "no pain, no gain" idea sticks around for skin. Some people still think tight, squeaky-clean skin means it's really clean, when that's often a sign of damage.

Remember those old school soap grit bars too.
