My client's skin barrier was wrecked and I didn't see it until she mentioned her new 'routine'

She came in for a chemical peel consultation and casually said she'd been using a physical scrub and a strong retinol every night for two weeks. I realized I'd been so focused on selling the service, I skipped the full intake chat. Do you always do a full product check before any treatment, or is that overkill?

Honestly the real risk is legal, not just overkill. If you treat damaged skin without checking, that's a liability waiting to happen. Skipping the chat to make a sale could cost you way more later.

Does @the_holly think the legal risk is worse than the actual damage or just more likely to bite you?

Ever notice how this is basically the "skip the terms and conditions" problem but for real life?
