Sources and signs of skin damage
Skin damage comes in many different shapes and sizes. Understanding the ways in which environmental factors can damage your skin can help you make educated product decisions.
Photodamage
While the sun can feel good on your face, it’s not good for your skin. Photodamage refers to damage caused by UV light that accrues over time, creating lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Sunburn can cause acute forms of photodamage.
Age Spots
Also known as sunspots or solar lentigines, age spots are areas of darker pigmentation caused by cumulative exposure to ultraviolet light rays. They are most common on the hands, arms, neck, chest, and face.
Acne
An inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous that is most common during adolescence and young adulthood, acne causes red, painful bumps on the face, chest, back, and upper arms. Acne comes in many forms, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, and cysts.
Characteristics of the skin
The skin comes in all shapes and sizes, from dry to oily and everything in between. Identifying your skin type can be very influential in controlling oil production and moisture, helping you to achieve your best skin yet.
Dry skin
Dry skin doesn’t produce adequate oil and is caused by underactive sebaceous glands, resulting in dull, flaking, and itching skin prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
Normal to dry skin
Normal to dry skin has more oil production than dry skin but can still appear tight, dull, and flaking when humidity is low. This skin type can be exacerbated by dry weather and indoor heating systems.
Normal to oily skin
Normal to oily skin is often oily to the touch and is found particularly on the chin, nose, cheeks, and forehead. Oil presence may worsen throughout the day or when stressed.
