August 09, 2026 Episode 80: Myth vs. Fact: “It’s Just Purging…” — Or Is Your Skin Telling You to Stop?

Morgan’s Monthly Challenge
Since we’ve wrapped up our August series, here’s your challenge for the month:
Before buying your next skincare product, ask yourself these four questions:
Does this product solve a problem I actually have?
Do I understand what the active ingredients do?
Am I giving my current routine enough time to work?
Am I buying this because it’s trending—or because it’s right for my skin?
Those four questions alone can save you money, reduce frustration, and help you build a skincare routine based on knowledge instead of hype.
See you next week for another edition of Skintelligent Sundays. Until then… love the skin you’re in.
