Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells and these cause blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. Acne can affect everyone regardless of age but it is common among teenagers. There are effective acne treatments, but they can be persistent.
Rosacea causes are not entirely known but are believed to be hereditary or caused by environmental factors such as stress, diet, and prolonged exposure to natural elements (sunlight, wind, and extreme temperature changes). Rosacea symptoms include inflammation of visible blood vessels and persistent redness.
Hyperpigmentation is largely caused by sun exposure and acne scarring, and the symptoms on the skin are brown patches of irregular skin tone and darkened areas. These patches often vary in size and can develop anywhere on the body.
Treatments for Acne, Rosacea, and Hyperpigmentation
These skin conditions treatments can be frustrating. Despite the fact that there are many products on the market all promising lasting results, many of them prove to be nothing more than costly, ineffective, and unnecessary. Over the counter medications or products can end up being costly and only providing temporary and unreliable results. Also, some other options such as injections, chemical peels, and lasers can be very painful and invasive, inciting undue stress on our skin and further exasperating symptoms.
