Improve Your Skin's Texture
By Nateisha Scott
Do you have rough or uneven skin? This is actually a rather common problem and improving your skin’s texture is often high on the skincare list. From your diet to targeted skincare ingredients, these focuses will reveal a smoother and supple complexion underneath.
CAUSES SKIN TO BE ROUGH
Essentially uneven skin texture is a common result of excess dead skin cells that has built up on the skin over time. Many factors come to the forefront when considering what causes the texture to be rough, from sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins and ageing skin, these pinpointed symptoms are all contributors to an uneven skin texture and make it more prone to wrinkles, age spots, bruises and sagging. Also, with mature skin types, the chemical and hormonal changes the body undergoes due to perimenopause and menopause can contribute to an overall loss of the skin’s smoothness.
With these different factors contributing to an uneven skin texture, there are a multitude of treatments that you can introduce and implement into your routine that will reveal a smoother and plumper complexion.
DIET
They say that beauty starts from within and along with water, a healthy and balanced diet is key for smooth and even skin. Everything in your body is connected and that includes your food intake, incorporating groups like fatty acids that include omega-3 is an essential for good skin and can have anti-inflammatory properties that can help keep harmful things away from your skin cells. Other foods that are great for the skin can include green tea and turmeric, both antioxidants have proven benefits to work for the skin and maintain optimum skin health an ensure your skin receives what it needs for optimal hydration and restoration
CLEANSING & EXFOLIATION
In terms of your routine, regular cleansing and exfoliation is necessary to remove the dead skin cells. Cleansing effectively with a powerful cleanser will remove the dirt and build up from the day and ensuring a double cleanse both morning and night, even more so if you workout regularly, will help to keep the skin clean. For a hybrid cleanser the Exfolactic Cleanser is a gentle exfoliating AHA cleanser that clarifies the skin without causing irritation. Infused with a rosemary base for a soothing complexion post-cleanser and containing alpha-hydroxy acids, this cleanser will clean skin but also exfoliate it to remove the dead skin cells. For a more focused exfoliating step, the Celestial Black Diamond Multi Acid Accelerated Peel is a powerful agent for delivering an at-home clinical, chemical peel-like effect that not only accelerates the exfoliation process but firms the skin with ingredients like wheat protein.
HYDRATE (INSIDE & OUT)
The more water that you drink, the more hydrated and plumper your cells become. Water consumption is still an underrated step that many of us underestimate but its benefits are underestimated. Improvement in skin texture can be as easy as increasing your daily intake of water that will help the skin look and feel smoother. In addition to working more water into your day, there are specialised ingredients that work to hydrate the skin as a topical treatment. Hyaluronic Acid is a miracle worker when it comes to hydrating the skin, the formula helps to hydrate and maintain hydration as a humectant (a substance that reduces the amount of moisture loss) and is an essential magnet for attracting moisture. The Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster is formulated with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic Acid that works deep into the epidermis to hydrate the lower levels of skin, by penetrating to this level, the cell will be hydrated from the core resulting in a greater result overall. Not just focusing on the deeper levels, the booster includes other moisture ingredients that tackle the skin’s surface and combats dryness from a surface level.
VITAMIN C
We usually associate Vitamin C as a brightening ingredient and although it does have the power to reduce pigmentation, sun spots and scarring, it can also improve the skin’s texture leaving a smoother result. What Vitamin C does for skin texture is it protects the skin against free radicals in the environment that attack the skin’s cells and prohibit it from leading to uneven skin. Both the Vitamin C Brightening Booster and Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser are powerful brightening agents that will, within your routine, help improve your skin’s overall texture. The Vitamin C Brightening Booster delivers a customised concentrated dose of active brightening ingredients that not only targets hyperpigmentation but also encourages collagen production and protects the skin, all areas that lead to an improved skin texture. Similarly, the Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser is your way of cleansing the skin and adding the key ingredient as a way to refine and tighten the skin’s texture.
SUN PROTECTION
As a factor for uneven skin can be a result of sun damage, ensuring you are protecting the skin is vital and applying sunscreen on a daily basis is a non-negotiable.
