Ways to Get Rid Of Uneven Skin Texture
Your skin is a living organ and changes can occur daily due to many contributing factors. On any given day you may suddenly have bumps, dry patches, fine lines and wrinkles. And although your favorite photoshopped model might tell you differently this is what us mortals have to deal with.
Your goal of perpetually smooth and glowing skin is not necessarily unreal but we need to set realistic goals and manage expectations. Now, I don’t want to discourage you from said goal but the truth is that textured skin is a common occurrence.
So, what exactly is skin texture? In simple terms, it refers to the smoothness and softness of the skin. Unfortunately the opposite end of that spectrum is textured skin that tends to be rough, uneven, or bumpy. All skin types can exhibit such symptoms and external factors like the sun, smoking, climate, sleep schedule and diet can play a role in the changes that affect the texture of your skin.
Additionally, these changes are not confined to the face and the body can also have textured skin challenges. These body parts can be dry, bumpy, rough, or oily, mirroring the conditions observed on the face.
Identifying uneven skin texture is relatively straightforward as all you need to do is see or feel it. The question then is what are some easily implemented solutions for rough, scaly, or bumpy skin?
The solutions can be many but they all operate on the same principle of exfoliation, increased collagen production and cell turnover for smoother and younger looking skin.
One of our newest facial is the Magic Glow Facial and this effortlessly smoothes down rough, uneven or textured skin. We use a sterile surgical scalpel to physically scrape off the top layer of dead, dull skin, which will reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, or other imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin.
Joanna Vargas also suggests using simple moisturizing and calming ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for irritation bumps, while exfoliating ingredients like AHAs, for BHAs, retinol, are effective for addressing clogged pores.
Exfoliation can be mechanical or acid based and some products have a combination of both, like our Exfoliating Mask. Products that use this combination soften and polish the skin. Also, retinol and retinoids can exfoliate and simultaneously increase collagen production, aiding in proper skin cell turnover for baby smooth skin.
For more advanced treatments, microneedling with radiofrequency, laser resurfacing, and fractional lasers can be considered. These procedures work to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.
In conclusion, achieving smooth and soft skin involves understanding the specific factors contributing to uneven texture and tailoring your skincare routine accordingly. With the right approach, you can embark on a journey towards the flawless skin you've been longing for.
Your obsession of perpetually smooth, glowing skin is actually within reach.
