BLACKHEADS

Blackheads are minuscule bumps found on the skin that appear when a hair follicle becomes clogged with sebum and debris. Blackheads are a mild form of acne lesion that can appear all over the body.

WHITEHEADS

Whiteheads are a mild form of acne that appear as small, round, white bumps on the skin’s surface. This type of acne occurs when a pore becomes clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and debris. If this clogged pore is covered with a thin layer of skin, it appears white on its surface.

DRYNESS

Dry skin is a very common skin condition characterized by a lack of the appropriate amount of water in the most superficial layer of the skin, the epidermis.

OILINESS

Oily skin is known medically as seborrhea and is caused by excess skin oil produced within the pores.

REDNESS

Skin redness is caused by inflammation, or blood vessels being temporarily enlarged and sending fluid to an area of irritation. There are many sources of inflammation — including injury, heat, emotion, spicy food, allergies, exercise, friction, and the immune system.

PUFFINESS

Puffiness is caused from mild swelling underneath the eyes. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. Fluid also may accumulate in the space below your eyes, adding to the swelling.

DARK CIRCLES

Dark circles, also known as periorbital dark circles, are a result of the thin layer of skin below your eyes showing the blood vessels and the blood they contain more clearly than anywhere else on your body.
