Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that typically appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. One of the most common skin conditions, it happens when pores become blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin cells, and dirt. An estimated 80% of people ages 11 to 30 will have at least a mild form of acne.
What Causes It
Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin
cells, and can cause whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.
The mildest type of acne is whitehead, which forms when oil and dead skin cells get trapped in hair follicles under the skin and forms a white tip. If the congestion occurs in an open hair follicle, the trapped sebum can oxidise and turn brown as it is exposed to air, resulting in the formation of a blackhead. When bacteria sneaks its way into these congested hair follicles, inflammation occurs, leading to the formation of pimples. And if the inflammation occurs deep inside the hair follicles, larger and painful bumps might form beneath the surface of the skin.

PORES
To understand enlarged pores, you’ll first need to understand that pores are openings on the skin where sweat and sebum are released. And while enlarged pores are often perceived as clogged pores, they’re not the same. While congestion can lead to pores appearing enlarged, there are other causes that can lead to enlarged pores.

Wrinkles are lines or creases found on your skin, most often found on your face, neck and arms,
but can appear anywhere on your body.
A natural part of your body’s ageing process, they are inevitable and happen when skin
becomes thinner, drier, slower to renew and regenerate. However, the severity of lines and
wrinkles, as well as when they start to occur, are dependent on various lifestyle factors.
What Causes It
There are several factors that cause your skin to wrinkle.
The dermis has a network of elastin and collagen fibres, which offer
support and elasticity. As this network loosens and unravels with time,
depressions form on your skin’s surface. Ageing skin is also less able
to retain moisture, less efficient in secreting oil and slower to heal,
contributing to the development of wrinkles.
Treatment Solutions
Having sensitive skin means your skin is more prone to flare-ups and reactions such as redness,
flakiness and itching. It is usually the cause of a weaker skin barrier.
The skin barrier protects the body from free radicals, pollution particles and UV rays. In addition,
it also helps the body to hold onto natural moisture by preventing transepidermal water loss.
