The Signs of Problem Skin
As skin cell replacement slows with age, more and more dead cells build up on the surface layers. You can see the effects in the following symptoms:
- Fine Lines and Deep Wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation Spots (skin discoloration) and Brown Spots
- Sagging Skin
- Broken Capillaries
- Excessive Oily or Dry Skin
- White and Black Heads
- Blo...tchy Skin
- Acne Scars
- Pustules (small elevated marks or spots)
- Rough Texture
- Dull Tone
There are many possible sources of each skin problem. For example, excessive oil and glycerin production can trap bacteria, causing infection and scarring, or acne. Extreme exposure to heat and cold as well as changing hormone levels can cause pigmentation cells to migrate to the outer skin layer. These cells may then be trapped, appearing as discoloration spots on the surface of the skin. Another cause may be our declining ability to naturally exfoliate (shed dead skin), which occurs with age, and may exacerbate sagging, wrinkled, rough-textured, dull skin.
