How to treat 5 common skin concerns
Published: Wednesday, 11th October 2023You might have believed that once you were past your teenage years, having conquered acne and diligently applying sunscreen, your skin would naturally fall in line. However, as you reach your late 20s or 30s – and simultaneously develop a newfound desire for a $800 hair dryer – you're faced with unexpected challenges like having cystic pimples and wrinkles at the same time. It's like meeting a brand-new perplexing dilemma.
A multitude of factors contribute to skin issues in adulthood. Emotional and work-related stress, external environmental influences, and even indulgence in caffeine, alcohol, and rich foods can disrupt our immune system, which in turn surfaces through our skin. Moreover, hormonal imbalances during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause uniquely affect women’s skin.
The transformations your skin undergoes come with both emotional and physical hurdles. But here’s the silver lining – effective treatments are available; we’ve tackled the five most common skin concerns we’re asked about in clinic and what products to use to treat them:

1. Acne-prone skinAcne outbreaks stem from a combination of factors, but the primary catalyst is consistently excessive oil production. Variances in oil production among individuals contribute to the varying severity of acne among different people. Acne develops when specific sebaceous glands overproduce oil, leading to the obstruction of pores and resulting in the formation of blackheads, skin plugs, lesions, and pustules. Fortunately, a solution is available through our innovative Clarity Edit. This skincare pack includes a comprehensive set comprising a Gel Cleanser with Glycolic, B3 5% Niacinamide Serum, and Smooth Skin 8%. These three products synergize to purify, regulate oil absorption, soothe, and refine your skin, effectively disrupting the acne cycle. |

Numerous factors contribute to the state of your skin tone, ranging from genetic influences to your frequency of applying SPF. Occasionally, due to concerns like redness and freckles, you might notice an unevenness in your skin tone across your face. This is a typical occurrence and generally not a cause for concern. However, if an uneven skin tone is something that bothers you, there are solutions available to help guide you in the right direction. Our Pigment Perfect Edit offers a very effective option. The lactic cleanser in the pack serves to exfoliate and enhance brightness, while the inclusion of tranexamic acid aims to diminish any instances of pigmentation-related discoloration. Furthermore, the pack includes sunscreen to safeguard your skin from additional pigment-related damage. |
