Problematic Skin

Problematic skin can encompass a variety of conditions that affect the appearance and health of your skin.
This includes issues such as acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and sensitive skin.
These conditions can lead to discomfort, self-consciousness, and even emotional distress.
Common Types of Problematic Skin Conditions
Acne: Affects people of all ages and is characterised by pimples, blackheads, and cysts. It can lead to scarring and emotional challenges.
Rosacea: A chronic condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pustules on the face. It can be triggered by various factors, including temperature changes and certain foods.
Eczema: Also known as atopic dermatitis, this condition results in dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can be caused by genetic factors, allergens, and irritants.
Psoriasis: A chronic autoimmune condition that causes rapid skin cell production, leading to red, scaly patches. It can be triggered by stress, infections, and environmental factors.
Sensitive Skin: Characterised by reactions to products or environmental factors, sensitive skin can lead to redness, burning, or itching.
