You changed environments. DON’T FREAK OUT.

Breakouts are not always the enemy. Sometimes they are your skin trying to communicate that something has changed.

I moved from LA to Miami, and my skin went from constantly dry and dehydrated to much oilier because of the heat and humidity.

At first, I kept using the same routine. Then I did the 30-minute skin test from my GLOW Guide and realized my skin had completely shifted.

So I shifted with it.

One major misconception about oily skin is that you need to strip away your natural oils. In reality, over-cleansing can leave your barrier even more unbalanced.

My focus became hydration, electrolytes, lightweight products, and supporting my barrier without creating unnecessary buildup.

One product I kept through both environments was my CODA Skin GHK-Cu serum. I designed it to support healthier-looking, more resilient skin without needing a complicated routine.

Your skin changes. Your environment changes. Your routine should change too.

Don’t fight your skin. Learn how to read it.
