What is it?
Our skin natural ages the skin texture can change and become uneven, this can be increased due to Ultra Violent rays from the sun. These changes could include thinning of skin, coarse wrinkles, thickening of skin and fine lines.
Skin is always shedding dead skin cells to allow for re-growing skin. Some of these dead cells remain attached to the new skin, so when the oil travels up the hair shaft and a mix with the dead skin cells, a plug is created. This is the start of a blackhead or whitehead. When certain types of bacteria are present, the acne may escalate into a more severe form.
Hyper pigmentation is a built up concentrations of melanin in the skin (the colouring), which have formed due to unprotected exposure to the sun for long periods of time. Basically patches of skin, which have become darker in colour.
