Your Skin Is Not Being Dramatic. It Is Communicating.
Posted by Miranda Barringer on Mar 13th 2025
Let’s clear something up right away.
Your skin is not misbehaving. It is not being dramatic. It is not broken.
It is communicating.
Redness, bumps, ingrowns, irritation, dryness, flare ups. These are not failures. These are signals. Skin responds to stress, friction, products, hormones, nervous system overload, weather, and life in general.
We see this every day in the treatment room. Clients apologizing for their skin like it did something wrong. Meanwhile their skin is doing exactly what skin is designed to do. Protect. React. Adapt.
Most skin issues do not need more aggression. They need less.
Less stripping. Less over exfoliating. Less switching products every time TikTok says so. More consistency. More calming. More listening.
Salt and Spirit was built around this idea. Support the skin instead of fighting it.
Your skin is not the enemy.
It is just trying to talk to you.
