Acne is often caused by excess oil production, clogged pores, and hormonal changes. Treatment requires consistent routine with the right ingredients to target breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent future blemishes. Gentle cleansing with salicylic acid twice a day will unclog pores and reduce bacteria. Using lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, tea tree and probiotics will keep skin balanced and hydrated.

Sun exposure, inflammation and hormonal changes can lead to dark spots. A consistent skincare routine with the right ingredients can help fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Prevent further darkening and protect the skin with SPF 30 or more.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid are powerful exfoliants that help fade hyperpigmentation by increasing cell turnover and revealing brighter skin.

Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that blocks melanin production, brightens skin, and protects against sun damage.

When using AHAs the skin barrier needs to be kept healthy and intact by using moisturizer with ceramides and botanical extracts to nourish and repair.

The best time to start anti-aging skincare is in your mid-to-late 20s, when collagen production begins to slow down. However, prevention is key, so incorporating targeted ingredients early helps maintaining youthful skin.

Antioxidants (Vitamin C, Niacinamide) – Early 20s → Prevents free radical damage and boosts glow.
Hyaluronic Acid – Early 20s → Keeps skin hydrated and plump.
Retinol/Retinoids – Mid-to-late 20s → Boosts collagen, smooths fine lines.
Peptides – Late 20s to early 30s → Strengthens the skin barrier and improves elasticity.

Tip: Start with lightweight, gentle formulations and gradually introduce retinoids or stronger treatments as needed.

Dry skin occurs when the skin loses its natural moisture and oils, leading to a compromised skin barrier. This can result in symptoms like tightness, rough texture, flakiness, irritation, and discomfort. The skin’s outermost layer, known as the stratum corneum, acts as a barrier to lock in moisture and protect against external aggressors. When this barrier is damaged or compromised, dry skin occurs.

Harsh Cleansers & Soaps: Many traditional cleansers and soaps contain sulfates and alcohol, which can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dehydration and irritation.

Over-exfoliation: Frequent or harsh exfoliation can damage the skin's outer layer, making it less effective at retaining moisture and more prone to dryness.

Aging: As we age, the skin produces less sebum (oil), reducing its ability to retain moisture. The skin’s cell turnover slows down, resulting in a thinner moisture barrier.

Hydrate & Moisturize Immediately After Cleansing

Lock in Moisture: Apply a rich moisturizer that contains ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin to attract and lock in moisture.

Oils for Extra Hydration: Consider adding a natural oil (like jojoba oil, argan oil, or squalane) to your routine for added moisture.

Opt for Thick Creams in Winter: During colder months, switch to a heavier, emollient moisturizer to prevent moisture loss.

Protect from UV Damage: Always wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. UV rays can dry out and damage the skin, making it more prone to irritation and aging.
