Having uneven skin texture is a very common issue occurance, we all suffer from it at some stage. It can be normally caused by a buildup of dead skin cells. It can really annoying! It can feel rough and uneven, while also potentially being itchy and uncomfortable too.
In addition to a buildup of skin cells, sun damage can also play a role in causing textured skin as well as irregular pores. If you choose to spend time in the sun without sunscreen, the UV rays can reduce your skin’s ability to self-repair itself, as well as speed up the aging process.
Always remember to use an appropriate SPF before going outdoors, in any weather, especially if you suffer from or want to prevent the appearance of textured skin.
If you start noticing the effects of textured skin, there are lots of different ways you can help combat the issue. This blogpost will go through some of the best at-home treatments and skincare routines you can use to help get rid of textured skin and uneven tone.
How to get rid of textured skin with Image Skincare Ireland:
Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation is one of the most popular ways to remove dead cells and help get rid of textured skin. Using an exfoliating cleanser like our ILUMA Intense Brightening Exfoliating Cleanser is a great place to start. Not only does it offer a blend of natural hydrating botanicals and antioxidants, but it can help brighten up dull skin in addition to helping with rough skin.
When exfoliating, always be sure you start with a more gentle exfoliating cleanser before moving into something a bit more intense. Exfoliation should only be done once or twice a week, as too much abrasive scrubbing can cause skin texturing to become worse.
Embrace Antioxidants
Antioxidants are a great way to combat a range of skin damage, including those caused by environmental toxins and free radicals. Vitamin C is one of the most popular antioxidants found in skincare products, including our amazing IMAGE MD Restoring Power-C Serum.
It includes a blend of highly effective antioxidants to help to get rid of textured skin, but it also helps balance your overall skin tone. The included hyaluronic acid complex can help provide restorative benefits to your skin’s elasticity which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Use Sunscreen
Extremely important when enjoying the outdoors, sunscreen should always be worn on exposed skin to prevent harmful UV rays from causing signs of premature aging. Even if the day seems overcast, a sunscreen SPF of 30 or above should really be worn to fully protect your skin.
We love our daily use DAILY PREVENTION Ultra Defense Moisturiser when it comes to sun protection. It goes on smooth and blends into your skin easily, while offering an SPF of 50. The included antioxidants and pea proteins are brilliant for providing hydration while also reducing the effects of broad spectrum UV rays.
Stay Hydrated
Staying properly hydrated is a really important factor for your overall health; not just for your skin, but your entire body as well.
Cool, room-temperature water is the best choice for proper hydration. Try to avoid caffeinated or sugary drinks if you can. If you crave some kind of flavouring in your beverage, look for sugar free flavourings that offer a boost of electrolytes.
Boost Your Collagen
As we age, collagen production is reduced. This can be a contributing factor for skin texturing. Increasing your natural collagen production can be a great way to reduce the appearance of textured skin, as well as prevent it from happening in the future.
Chemical Peel
If you are looking for a stronger way to get rid of textured skin, while also removing the buildup of dead skin cells, sebum, and other surface contaminants, consider a professional chemical peel. There is things you can do at home though that are beneficial.
Easy to do at home, our AGELESS Total Resurfacing Masque offers a range of ingredients including botanical and fruit extracts, as well as salicylic acid. This formula helps minimise uneven skin tone and texture. It also provides a soothing and relaxing morning or evening peel. A treat for the skin!
Reduce Sebum
Sebum is the result of your body’s natural oil production. You want oils on your skin, though an excess buildup of sebum can lead to clogged pores and textured skin. Reducing the amount of oils buildup on the surface of your skin can help your overall complexion, skin softness, and help get rid of textured skin.
For this, we love our CLEAR CELL Restoring Serum. It contains a blend of natural plant extracts and botanical complexes to specifically target skin smoothness and elasticity.
