Common Skin Conditions and Blemishes

Milia are those annoying small white bumps that love to cluster around your nose, cheeks, and chin. They happen when dead skin flakes and keratin get trapped just under your skin's surface - think of them as tiny cysts that need professional removal.

Comedones are basically blackheads that form when oil and dead skin cells clog your pores. The dark colour isn't dirt - it's actually the oil oxidising when it hits the air.

Your skin produces natural oil called sebum from tiny glands under each pore. Whilst this keeps your skin healthy and hydrated, some people's glands go into overdrive and create oily skin problems.

Here's something that might surprise you: dry skin can actually cause acne! When your skin lacks moisture, those oil glands panic and start producing extra sebum to compensate, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.

Quick Tip: Papules are solid, raised bumps without white centres, whilst pustules have that telltale white tip filled with pus - never squeeze them!

Sun Damage and Pigmentation Issues

Too much sun doesn't just give you a tan - it can seriously age your skin before its time. Sun damage leads to deep wrinkles, rough crusty patches (solar keratosis), and those brown spots older people call liver spots.

Pigmentation disorders affect your skin's colour and happen when melanin (the stuff that gives your skin its colour) goes wonky. Special cells either produce too much or too little, creating uneven skin tone.

Dehydrated skin occurs when your skin's protective top layer loses moisture. You'll notice itchy, dull skin, dark under-eye circles, and more visible wrinkles - not exactly the look you're going for!

Fine lines are the first signs of ageing that appear when your skin starts losing its bounce-back ability. They typically show up where you make facial expressions most - around your eyes and mouth.

Remember: Dehydration is about water content, whilst dry skin is about oil production - they're different problems needing different solutions!

Skin Elasticity and Inflammatory Conditions

Skin elasticity is basically your skin's ability to snap back into shape after being stretched. When you lose this (called elastosis), your skin starts looking saggy and leathery - sun exposure is the main culprit here.

Rosacea is that persistent redness across your cheeks and nose that sometimes comes with small, pus-filled bumps. It's more common than you think and often gets mistaken for acne or sensitivity.

Erythema is the medical term for skin redness caused by increased blood flow to surface capillaries. Any injury, infection, or inflammation can trigger it - it's essentially your skin's way of saying "something's not right here."

Sensitive skin can result from various causes including skin disorders like eczema, overly dry skin, or allergic reactions. When your skin barrier is damaged, nerve endings become exposed and react to things that wouldn't normally bother you.

Pro Tip: Understanding these conditions helps you choose the right treatments and products - what works for oily skin might make sensitive skin worse!
