Did you know that 55% of adults between the ages of 20 and 40 suffer from acne, while 75 to 90% of teenagers do? Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in America, and the struggle to fight it is one that many teens and adults face.

Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a beak in the follicle wall, leaking sebum (oil) and bacteria into the skin, which leads to inflammation and skin damage.

Wrinkles aren’t the only thing that age us. Brown spots from sun damage, cigarette use, hormonal changes (melasma), and trauma (acne scars) can also make us appear older.

Cellulite affects women of all shapes and sizes, and is often resistant to both diet and exercise. Cellulite is a prevalent skin challenge, especially among women, with nearly 90% encountering its distinctive dimpled appearance in their lifetimes. Cellulite is a common skin condition that makes the skin’s surface appear dimpled or lumpy. The dimpling effect results from connective tissue between the skin and underlying muscle that becomes thickened and pulls down on the skin causing a dimple, almost like a tufted couch.

When you look in the mirror, are you bothered by the appearance of extra fat underneath your chin? Perhaps you choose to wear high-collared shirts or turtlenecks to try to hide this area. If so, you may have a double chin.

As we age, skin cells do not replicate or turn over as fast as in our youth. This results in dry, dull skin with accumulation of dead skin cells.

Dry skin can occur due to various factors, including environmental conditions, lifestyle habits, and underlying health issues. External factors such as cold or dry weather, excessive sun exposure, harsh soaps or cleansers, and hot showers or baths can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness.

For women, shaving every day or waxing every couple weeks can be tedious and expensive, as well as painful and irritating. For men, unwanted back or chest hair can cause embarrassment in social situations; shaving the neck over uneven areas can often lead to nicks and folliculitis. For men and women both, laser hair removal could be a great option. 

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a socially debilitating condition in which the sweat glands work overtime producing more sweat than is warranted by the situation.

Hyperpigmentation describes patches of skin that have become darker than surrounding areas of skin. A common cause is excessive production of melanin in the skin. Certain medications may cause the body to produce more melanin, as can hormone changes. Excessive sun exposure can also cause an increase in melanin, resulting in hyperpigmentation. This condition can occur in small patches, cover large areas of skin, or even affect the entire body. While hyperpigmentation is not harmful, it can cause self-consciousness for those who live with it.

When you look in the mirror, are you beginning to notice lines on your neck that make you look older than you feel? Neck lines, or wrinkles on the neck, are just like any other wrinkle that you might see on your face. While wrinkles are a normal part of aging, certain factors such as excessive sun exposure or smoking may exacerbate them.

When it comes to skin there are several different types that can impact the way your skin looks and feels. These types include dry, oily, normal, and combination. Individuals with dry skin have a skin type that produces less sebum, or oil, than normal skin. It can feel tight and rough, and often looks dull. Oily skin occurs when the face produces too much oil, creating a shiny or greasy appearance. If oily skin is left untreated, pores can easily become clogged and enlarged, and dead skin cells may build up. Combination skin is a mixture of dry and oily skin, with some areas like the cheeks feeling dry and the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) feel oily.

Large pores can be a constant source of frustration. They are always present, affecting your appearance in the mirror and influencing how you apply makeup. But, more importantly, they can undermine your confidence in your skin’s appearance. Enlarged or large pores are commonly found on the wings and back of the nose, forehead, cheeks, and chin—areas where sebaceous glands are concentrated.
