✨ Understanding Skin Texture
Why it happens & how to smooth it out
When we talk about skin texture, we’re referring to how smooth or uneven the surface of your skin feels and looks. Ideally, skin reflects light evenly and feels soft to the touch. But sometimes, tiny bumps, rough patches, enlarged pores, or scarring can make skin look and feel less smooth.
💡 Why Skin Can Look Textured
There are many reasons skin texture changes over time:
- Build-up of dead skin cells – Without regular exfoliation, these can accumulate and make skin look dull or rough.
- Clogged pores – Excess oil, debris, or makeup can block pores, creating small bumps.
- Loss of collagen & elastin – As we age, skin becomes less plump, making texture more noticeable.
- Scarring- Acne Can leave behind uneven surfaces or scarring.
- Sun damage – UV rays can thicken and weaken skin, creating a leathery texture.
- Dehydration – Lack of water in the skin can make fine lines and flakiness stand out.
