Common skin problems

Also known as plugged pores, acne can show up in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and cysts. These usually occur on the back, shoulders, chest, neck, face and even the arms. Acne generally appears during the teenage years, but adult acne is not uncommon. You can get it even in your 20s or 40s. Although it is not a life-threatening or serious health condition, the disfiguring caused by acne damages self-esteem and can cause permanent scars.

Dark circles are a common non-hormonal skin problem that usually appears under your eyes. They are generally caused by inadequate sleep, fatigue, dehydration, ageing, sun exposure and other reasons. Dark circles can make you appear tired, older, stressed-out and depressed. Wrinkles are folds, creases or ridges on the forehead or in the under eye area that usually develop as you grow older. They are also caused by sun exposure, facial expressions and other factors.

Skin exfoliants

Exfoliation is a process of removing dead cells from the surface of the skin. Exfoliants are products that slough off dead skin cells for a brighter and younger-looking complexion. Most skin exfoliants are either based on chemical ingredients or help in physically removing skin cells. Physical exfoliants, such as over-the-counter scrubs, use an abrasive implement or ingredient. Professional exfoliation techniques including microdermabrasion can soften and rejuvenate your skin. Chemical exfoliants loosen or dissolve the bond between dead skin cells with the help of an enzyme or acid.
