What is Textured Skin?
Textured skin can be genetic, or it can form over time from things like age, lifestyle or environmental exposure, inspiring some to seek ways to soften the bumps. Some have texture simply by birth while others begin to notice changes add years on. As we age, skin loses collagen and skin elasticity, and patchy/rough skin forms. Textured skin can also be genetic.
Textured skin can be genetic or due to the natural aging process, or it can be caused by external factors like the sun and aggressive skincare regimens.
Here are the common causes for some of the most common causes:
What Does Textured Skin Look and Feel Like?
Textured skin may be conscious in itself, makeup used to cover uneven patches. The skin may appear bumpy, rough or have visible pores. It can include the ff:
Textured skin may have bumps or patches that feel uneven. This may happen with the build-up of dead skin cells or loss of the skin’s natural texture.
Dry skin may cause flaks, which often give way to patches of skin that crack or peel. This can cause the surface to have a rough and uneven appearance.
This is often a result of blood vessels under the skin and can also result in uneven-looking skin, particularly on the cheeks or nose.
An uneven texture can steal the healthful glow from skin. That’s because the surface isn’t polished enough to reflect light uniformly, which gives it a weary appearance.
Uneven skin texture may cause dullness, discoloration, and a mottled skin tone. If it’s not smooth, it can’t be an even color, and the skin ends up looking patchy.
If you’re concerned about how your skin feels, or if you’re having itching or discomfort, scaling or roughness or extreme textural changes, it could be time to speak to a dermatologist.
Seeking Professional Help for Textured Skin
If your skin is looking worse than you’d like, or you are experiencing irritation, rough patches, flaking, particularly pronounced unevenness, it may be time to get professional help. Several treatments can help to smooth the texture of the skin and improve cosmetic appearance.
A dermatologist can assess your skin and recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion or hydrating facials to help restore a smoother, more even complexion. Plus, you know you’re getting the best efficiency out of your treatment; pro treatments always yield the best, most potent, results.
Genetics and environmental factors often cause textured skin. Loss of moisture and damage from the sun, plus aggressive skin care and age can cause skin to be rough and uneven. Somepeople have naturally textured skin, but others may start noticing a change over time.
Your textured skin may have an underlying cause or reasons. As we age, the formation of collagen and elastin decreases and the skin texture begins to feel hairy. Genetics plays a role, as some people are just more susceptible to skin texture issues. Sun damage and excessive exposure to UV rays tear the elasticity of our skin causing texture problems.
Uneven skin texture causes self-consciousness or confidence issues, particularly in work or social situations.
Textured skin can result in facial imbalance and makes a person’s face look older than necessary less youthful looking.
Routine skincare products may not penetrate skin too rough or uneven to treat effectively.
Textured skin is frequently more sensitive to various irritants, dryness, and discomfort —particularly in extreme climates.
Wear hats, use sunscreen with SPF, to prevent your skin from UV rays.
Protect your skin from the sun
Sun damage can create rough skin, but regular use of sunscreen and protective clothing can prevent the same.
Avoid Excessive Exfoliation
Excessive exfoliation can damage the skin’s surface and lead to uneven texture.
Drink plenty of water
Moisturize your skin and avoid dehydration as it can make your skin rough.
Continue using moisturizing skincare products
Avoid using products that are too drying and that do not hydrate or calm the skin.
Maintain a Healthy Diet
A healthy and balanced diet that provides antioxidants and vitamins essential for maintaining smooth and healthy skin.
A diet of vitamins and antioxidants is also key to skin health and enhancement of overall skin texture
Stay away from harsh weather
Heat can rob your skin of moisture and also desaturate it, leaving a grayish uneven texture.
Alcohol intake leads to skin dehydration and makes it uneven. Reducing alcohol consumption helps keep the skin smooth and hydrated.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Choose skincare items with anti-inflammatory, non-irritating ingredients like parabens or sulfates, which can irritate skin.
