How to Tackle Textured Skin

How to Tackle Textured Skin

In a world of glass skin trends and flawless filters, the pressure for perfect skin can feel overwhelming. But textured skin is normal and with the right routine, a thoughtful approach, and consistent care, achieving smoother, more refined skin is absolutely within reach. Skin, like us, however is never perfect and that's ok.

What Causes Textured Skin?  

Many factors can affect the quality of skin texture, causing enlarged pores, excess shine and an overall dull appearance. 

How to Tackle Textured Skin
  • Dead skin buildup: When skin cells aren’t discarded properly, they can create a rough and uneven texture.  
  • Excess oil (sebum): Overproduction of oil can clog pores and contribute to visible bumps.
  • Sun exposure: UV damage can weaken your skin’s ability to repair itself, speeding up the appearance of uneven texture and tone.  
  • Dehydration: Lack of moisture can make rough skin more noticeable.  
  • Aging: Cell turnover slowing down and reduced collagen production can naturally contribute to skin texture changes over time.  
  • Environmental stressors, poor skincare habits, and not exfoliating consistently can all play a role in aggravating textured skin.  

The good news? These can all be targeted with the right products and science-backed strategies.

Ways to Tackle Textured Skin 

 

 Exfoliate Regularly  

When it comes to products for textured skin, exfoliating is essential. They help sweep away dead skin, promoting a more even texture. Start with a gentle exfoliating cleanser like the ILUMA Intense Brightening Exfoliating Cleanser,. It is powered by mushroom enzymes and botanical brighteners to polish the skin and boost radiance. Avoid over-exfoliation, 1 to 3 times per week is plenty, depending on your skin type and how tolerant it is.

 Refine with Retinol  

Retinol is a gold-standard ingredient for refining texture, improving the appearance of fine lines, and supporting collagen renewal. It works by encouraging skin cell turnover, helping to smooth rough patches and even out tone over time. If you’re new to retinol, go slow, 2 to 3 times a week, and gradually build up as your skin adjusts. Need help finding the ideal retinol routine? Try our AGELESS+ Retinol Trial Kit!

 Consider a Professional Deep Peel  

While at-home treatments are great, a professional deep peel can help fast-track your skin refinement journey. Professional peels penetrate deeper to support long-term skin clarity and renewal, making them a great option for those with more stubborn texture. Advanced treatments performed by licensed estheticians can significantly reduce the appearance of texture, discolouration, and dullness with minimal downtime.
