Skin Pigmentation and Age Spots
With sun exposure and as you age, the cells responsible for the skin’s pigmentation become unevenly distributed in the top layer of the skin, leading to the appearance of darker ‘age’ spots.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
As we age, our skin loses both elastin and collagen, the two main fibres responsible for the skin's structure which results in skin losing elasticity and becoming thinner. Loss of these fibres can start anywhere from around 30 years.
Wrinkles also form through every day movement of our facial muscles such as through smiling, frowning and laughing.
The way we sleep, types of pillows & pillow covers can also have a surprising impact on the development of wrinkles that start to take place.
In Australia, damage by the sun or photo-ageing, is another major cause of facial lines and wrinkles.
Other things which impact on our skin are stresses and lifestyle choices such as smoking and frequent drinking.
Skin Tone and Texture
As we age, fine lines and wrinkles appear due to muscle movement in the face, pore size increases, and other problems such as acne scars or stretch marks on the body can also be visible. Collagen in our skin also breaks down over time, resulting in even more wrinkles and sagging skin.
Facial Redness & Capilliaries
Rosacea is characterized by central facial redness and flushing, which is triggered by a number of factors including sun exposure, stress, heat, wind, exercise and alcohol.
Acne and Acne Scarring
Acne refers to lesions or pimples caused when the hair follicle (or “pore”) on the skin becomes blocked with oil and dead skin. This blocked follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create pus-filled red bumps known as pimples. Hormonal changes often cause increased oil production that contributes to the problem.
Acne presents in different forms, ranging from mild acne, with whiteheads and blackheads, which most of us get at various times, to severe acne, which causes nodules, cysts or lumps under the skin. Acne scarring is generally caused by the more severe forms of acne.
