Your Personalized Overview
Your skin profile is a combination of elasticity and potential age spots. Below are some of the keys to your skin:
Lighter Pigmented Skin - with your skin type, sometimes a reduction in skin elasticity comes with the formation of age spots. Regular exfoliation, and an SPF moisturizer can help slow this process.
Hydration - dry and dehydrated skin causes skin to look more dull and skin to look less youthful. Look for Hyaluronic Acid in skincare products, as it helps draw and retain moisture in your skin cells.
Bright Skin - brighter skin is skin that looks more youthful and elastic. Look for ingredients that contain natural brighteners, such as Licorice Root Extract or vitamin C.
Things That May Affect Your Skin
Genetics
Given that you have a history of acne in your family, there is a strong probability your blemishes have a genetic link. Take a look at what their skin responds to, and chances are your skin will respond as well. Although there is nothing you can do about genetics, a good skincare routine, and consistent facials can keep most blemishes at bay.
Environment
Your living environment may be a cause of your acne. Pollutants, and the higher stress levels associated with your living environment can result in clogged pores and higher levels of inflammation. Although you may not be able to control the external, you can still be diligent about protecting your skin from the elements with a lightweight moisturizer.
Stress
Your higher levels of stress may be making your acne worse. Stress triggers inflammatory responses in the body, and also may cause your skin to produce more sebum, clogging pores. Daily exercise, mediation, and practicing relaxation techniques can help calm flare ups triggered by stress.
Environment
Your environment may be a cause of your dry skin. Pollutants and dry air can suck the moisture out of your skin, which is why it's important to replenish lost moisture using a lightweight moisturizer, while also getting enough water intake everyday. A travel-sized moisturizer can be very handy and worth looking into if you tend to be in environments with dry air.
Stress
Stress levels will affect how aged your skin looks. This is a physiological fact. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can break down collagen in the skin, which is the protein responsible for keeping a youthful bounce and elasticity. We recommend consistent exercise, meditation, and frequent facials to help relieve stress - you'll not only feel better, but look better as well.
