Skin Conditions

Acne is a very common skin condition characterised by comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pus-filled spots (pustules).

From around the age of 25 the first signs of aging start to become apparent on the surface of the skin. Fine lines appear first and wrinkles, a loss of volume and a loss of elasticity become noticeable over time.

Eczema is a condition that makes your skin turn red, scaly, and itchy. Your doctor might call it dermatitis. It can show up in several places on your body, and different types can cause different symptoms. If you have it on your face, it can cause red patches, small bumps, and flaking skin.

When your sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum that mixes with the dead skin cells in your pores, your pores can become blocked. The sebum cannot discharge freely from the pores, resulting in your pores becoming wider and more clearly visible.

Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin. Skin pigmentation disorders cause changes to the color of your skin. Hyperpigmentation is a condition that causes your skin to darken. This can affect patches of your skin or your entire body

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It’s more common in women and people with lighter skin, but symptoms can be worse in men.

Sagging skin occurs when internal or external factors affect the key molecules that help keep the skin elastic, firm and hydrated.

When a wound heals, it may eventually turn into a scar. Facial scars come in numerous forms and may be caused by injuries, acne, burns, or surgery. Since your face is constantly exposed to the environment, scars on this part of your body may have a harder time healing.

Sensitive skin refers to a range of conditions, from genetic ailments, such as rosacea and eczema, to severe allergies. While many people can have a skin reaction at some point or another to a product or ingredient, those with persistent issues are classified as having sensitive skin.

Although most people love the warmth and light of the sun, too much sun exposure can significantly damage human skin. The sun’s heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and depletes the skin’s supply of natural lubricating oils. In addition, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and long-term changes in the skin’s structure.

Wrinkles are creases, folds or ridges in the skin.

As you age your skin produces less proteins, collagen and elastin. This makes your skin thinner and less resistant to damage.
