Taking proper care of your skin is a job. Aside from simply remembering to complete your twice-a-day skin care routine, there are a plethora of skin concerns we all come face-to-face with regularly. Instead of turning to Google in search of how to handle the latest hiccup in your regimen — whether it be dull skin, dark spots or large pores — you’ve come to the right place. Read on as we share 17 common skin problems, and the products you can add to your routine to address them.
What Are the Most Common Skin Issues?
These 16 common skin issues, ranging from big pores to rough texture, can be addressed with home remedies.
1. Dark Circles
Did you have a restless night? We are aware of you. Although it is ideal, it isn’t always possible to get eight hours of sleep. Dark circles are one of the typical, bothersome skin issues that can arise from sleep deprivation. The key to treating dark circles is to neutralize their appearance using the appropriate eye cream or serum. This powerful treatment, which is made with pro-retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, brightens the under-eye area, minimizes wrinkles, and depuffs the skin.
2. Dark Spots
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) notes that acne may also be the source of black patches, while the Skin Cancer Foundation claims that UV exposure is the most frequent cause. They’re commonly dubbed sun spots when the former is the reason, and post-acne marks when the latter is to blame. This raises the crucial question: Is it possible to remove black spots? The AAD claims that you can get rid of them; all it takes is persistence in your regimen over time.
Including a dark spot corrector in your routine can help whether your dark spots are caused by sun damage or acne. Niacinamide, a calming ingredient, and sulfonic acid, an exfoliant, are combined in black Spot Serum, a daily therapy designed to reduce the visibility of obstinate black spots. Skin appears more even and clearer with prolonged use.
Pure Glycolic Acid Serum is another product that can help battle dark spots. It is designed to be used as a nightly treatment to even out your skin tone and minimize wrinkles and dark spots.
3. Eye Bags
We’ve all experienced under-eye bags at some point, whether it’s due to lack of sleep or puffy eyes from weeping. Fortunately, there are proven strategies to deal with them, and they all start with a decent under-eye treatment. 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine in Derm Intensives The moisturizing, caffeine-infused ingredients of the Eye Serum, along with the roller ball applicator, serve to relieve and depuff weary under-eye circles, eye bags, and puffiness.
4. Dryness
Most of us are probably not unfamiliar with dry skin. The best way to deal with dry skin, regardless of whether your complexion needs extra moisture all year round or only during the chilly winter months, is to get a moisturizer made especially for your skin type.
Naturally, if you have dry skin, you’ll need to change up more than just your moisturizer. Think about incorporating a hyaluronic acid serum into your regimen.
5. Excess Oils
Use a topical retinoid or exfoliant to regulate the oil production on your face and thoroughly clear your pores of any excess oil that could be causing your acne. Thanks to its combination of calming niacinamide and revitalizing retinol, the Moisturizer with Retinol + Niacinamide night cream regulates the skin.
One more recommendation for people with oily skin is to apply a mattifying primer such as Matte Setter. Salicylic acid in the composition helps regulate oily skin and prolongs the wear of makeup for up to 24 hours.
6. Face Redness
Although there are numerous reasons why the skin on your face can go red, one thing always stays the same: having uneven, red skin is not fun. Unwanted redness may result from over-exfoliating. As an alternative, since some of us are simply more likely to flush our skin than others, consider using a color-correcting primer before wearing makeup, such as Redness Eraser.
7. Dullness
An accumulation of dead skin cells is the most frequent reason for dull skin. This is caused by a failure to periodically exfoliate dead skin, and the fix is actually very easy: exfoliate. Seek for a face serum such as the 12% Pure Vitamin C + E + Salicylic Acid Serum that will aid in brightening your complexion. Salicylic acid is used in this antioxidant-rich composition to diminish the appearance of big pores and to prevent dullness and uneven skin tone. It also brightens the skin.
8. Rough Texture
Dry skin frequently has a rough texture; once again, this could be due to insufficient exfoliation in your routine. To improve skin tone and texture, try switching from your regular cleanser to a scrub cleanser. We suggest Daily Scrub Cleanser, which is made with glycolic acid and micro-pearls to mechanically and chemically buff away dead skin cells.
9. Large Pores
Let’s face it, big pores are a major annoyance. Not only do they usually go hand in hand with oily skin, but they can also negatively impact the way your makeup looks. Even though they might be very annoying, big pores are rather prevalent. Use the Revitalift Derm Intensives 12% Pure Vitamin C + E + Salicylic Acid Serum, which has salicylic acid to diminish the appearance of big pores, to lessen their appearance.
Using a pore-filling primer, such as the Pore Minimizer, before makeup application is another piece of advice.
10. Under-Eye Wrinkles
Many people may always have wrinkles under their eyes, but this does not make them any more attractive. The good news is that using an anti-aging eye cream will help you prevent wrinkles under your eyes. To tighten skin, lessen puffiness in the morning, and lessen the appearance of wrinkles, use the Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream both morning and night.
11. Hormonal Acne
coping with persistent acne is considerably more frustrating than coping with occasional acne, which can be annoying already. Not only is receiving your period uncomfortable, but you also have to deal with a breakout. See a board-certified dermatologist for advice if your acne becomes out of control or if you suspect that you are experiencing hormonal breakouts.
12. Blackheads
Blackheads are another type of acne that you have most likely experienced at some point. Blackheads, according to the AAD, are caused by germs, dead skin cells, and excess oil clogging your pores. Picking your blackheads is not necessary, as much as you might want to. To prevent infection, possible dark spots, and acne scars, use a chemical exfoliant to clear your pores.
13. Sebaceous Filaments
Speaking about blackheads, you can mistakenly believe that tiny dark dots on your nose are blackheads when in fact they are not. Another frequent skin condition that is sometimes confused with blackheads is sebaceous filaments, which are caused by clogged pores that are filled with dead skin cells and oils but don’t usually result in acne. Proactively addressing sebaceous filaments is best achieved with adequate washing and exfoliation.
14. Age Spots
Age spots, sometimes referred to as liver spots, are tiny, hyperpigmented dots that develop as a result of UV damage. Wearing SPF 30 or higher every day is the best method to prevent them; we recommend UV Lotion for its residue-free finish and lightweight feel. A niacinamide serum, such as Bright Reveal 12% [Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic + Ferulic Acid] Dark Spot Serum, will help lessen the appearance of age spots if you have them.
15. Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation, also referred to as black spots or post-acne scars, is the term for dark patches on the skin that cause an uneven skin tone. There are numerous varieties of hyperpigmentation, so it’s essential to speak with a board-certified dermatologist to determine the reason (as well as possible treatments).
16. Forehead Wrinkles
In addition to wrinkles beneath the eyes, forehead wrinkles, often called eleven lines, are another frequent skin condition that most people will eventually have to deal with. You don’t have to accept these lines as a sign of aging if you don’t want to. A board-certified dermatologist can provide topical treatments as well as additional treatments like injectables and lasers that can help lessen their appearance, therefore we strongly advise speaking with one of them.
17. Razor Bumps
Managing razor pimples is unpleasant and frequently causes discomfort. The National Center for Biotechnology Information states that hair follicles that curl backward and pierce the skin cause an inflammatory response, which is how razor bumps are created. Always use shaving cream or oil, and exfoliate your skin frequently before and after shaving to prevent them from appearing on your face (or body).
