BLEMISHES, PIMPLES AND SHINE
Do you have minor imperfections, visible pores and shiny skin? 💎 This is due to the overproduction of sebum, also known as hyperseborrhoea. The volume of the sebaceous glands is increased, leading to the appearance of open pores. This can be compounded by a second phenomenon called hyperkeratosis, which is an accumulation of keratinocytes (skin cells) in the hair follicle. A blockage forms and prevents the sebum from draining away leading to blackheads ("closed comedones") or whiteheads ("micro-cysts"). For a mildly-blemished complexion, they cover less than half the face and may be accompanied by a few inflammatory lesions. But don't worry, there are plenty of treatments that deal with these annoying blemishes! 😉
