Aging skin
Intrinsic aging is the result of normal aging process. Extrinsic aging is the
result of external factors which include ultra-violet radiation, cigarette
smoking, air pollution, free-radicals, etc.
Acne-prone skin
Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a common skin condition, caused by
changes in the pilosebaceous units. It affects the areas of skin with the
densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the
upper part of the chest, and the back.
Hyperpigmented Skin
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by
increased melanin production. It can be caused by hormonal imbalances, sun
damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne
vulgaris.
There are different types of hyperpigmented skin:
1. Melasma - result of hormonal changes. Estrogen and/or progesterone
stimulate pigmentation hormones causing dark, irregular sized patches
2. Freckles - clusters of concentrated melanin less than 5mm in diameter.
Increased melanin is seen in basal layer of epidermis without any increase in
melanocytes
3. Senile lentigines - common after middle age on back of the hands.
Compared to freckles, they have an increased number of melanocytes
KP
KP is a condition that results in rough bumps on the skin, referred to as
“chicken skin.” It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper
arms. There are three different types of KP: KP Alba, KP Rubra, and KP Rubra
Faceii. KP Alba is the most common type of KP, and is found on the body.
Ingrown hair
Ingrown hairs or razor bumps can cause tough beards and become difficult for
shaving. Ingrown hairs are most common in curly-haired people and on the face,
but it can also happen on other parts of the body where hair is shaved or
plucked
Dry, Rough skin
Dry or rough skin is a very common problem affecting many people. Dehydration,
cold weather, irritating fabric, or a lack of certain vitamins may be causing
skin to flare up. The typical places where roughness shows up include the face,
upper arms, hands, and heels.
Post-procedure skin
During aesthetic procedures, (chemical peels, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion,
lasers, IPL), the skin undergoes changes that can have damaging consequences
on skin growth if not cared for properly. Post procedure skin is commonly
dehydrated, and has lost its natural protective properties. It is important to
repair and recover the skin with essential nutrients that enhance the natural
healing process.
Suncare
UVA/UVB rays can cause harmful skin damage and can speed the aging process.
UVB is the main cause of sunburns, while UVA rays are associated with
photoaging effects because they penetrate more deeply into the skin. There are
many harmful effects from sun exposure such as premature skin aging and skin
damage due to harmful UVA/UVB rays. If out in the sun, it is important to stay
protected using the highest levels of UVA/UVB protection.
Delicate aging skin
This is similar to aging skin in which both internal and external factors effect the aging process, but cannot use as high levels of ingredients due to delicate skin types and/or first time glycolic acid users
