Pigmentation/Sun Damage | About Man

Skin concerns

Pigmentation/Sun Damage

What causes pigmentation (brown spots and sun spots)?

UVR radiation from the sun causes your collagen and elastin fibres to breakdown at a much faster rate (leading to fine lines and wrinkles) and also causes excessive pigmentation.

Pigmentation is also often associated with hormones but can be treated very effectively with IPL and/or Lasers and a good quality SPF. Pigmentation is aggravated by sluggish liver function from diet and lifestyle factors and stress.

To keep the skin in great condition you need to have a cosmeceutical grade skincare rountine prescribed by your skincare expert. It would normally include Vitamin A, some AHA's and anti-bacterial ingredients. This will help keep breakouts under control, therefore preventing scarring.

Acne Breakouts

What causes acne breakouts and blackheads?

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting 85% of teenagers and up to half adults aged over twenty-five. Acne forms when glands in the skin produce excess oil which combines with cells in the skin and clogs the pores. Normal bacteria grow in these pores and the body’s response causes inflammation or reddening of the skin that we associate with acne.

Acne can be aggravated by hormones, diet and digestion (sluggish liver or bowel, a diet low in zinc and magnesium or a high GI diet) and toxic factors (smoking, medications, recreational drugs and party pills).

Lifestyle Tips for acne breakouts and blackheads:

Your skin is affected by your hormones and emotions which are tricky to control! Try to minimise stress where you can. Increase your water intake to at least two 750ml bottles of water per day. If you smoke, your skin (and not to mention health) will benefit from stopping. Diet wise eat more antioxidant-rich foods (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, red delicious, granny smith and gala apples, prunes, plums, cherries, pecans and russet potato) and reduce dairy (especially cheese), saturated fats and red meat. Ensure you are having enough vitamin C, magnesium and zinc and reduce coffee and alcohol consumption.

For Active Acne: You may wish to consider seeing a naturopath as this can be triggered by spicy food, preservatives, fried foods, milk and yeast. Change your pillowcase and face cloth daily.

Pore Size | About Man

Skin concerns

Pore Size

What causes enlarged pores?

Enlarged pores are caused by the body producing sebum, an oily substance we secrete to make the skin waterproof and keep it from drying out. People with oily skin naturally have larger pores. Another contributing factor is age. As you age and the skin loses elasticity it causes the pores to look bigger.

Dry & Sensitive | About Man

Skin concerns

Dry & Sensitive

What causes dryness, sensitivity, rosacea and psoriasis?

Dry skin can be hereditary but there are other causes that may exasperate it. A low fat diet will increase dryness, low water intake and excessive UV exposure. Incorrect skin care can also dry skin out and it will also occur with a lack of essential fatty acids

Skin that is in a stressed, inflamed state can be caused by internal or hereditary factors, surface factors (such as a reaction to products applied, topical steroids, post laser treatment or surgery) or disease (eczema, asthma). As you age your skin also becomes more sensitive.

Lifestyle Tips for dryness, sensitivity, rosacea and psoriasis:

For dryness: Increase your water intake to at least two 750ml bottles of water per day. Also increase the essential fatty acids in your diet (eat more fatty fish such as salmon, plus more walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds and LSA) or take a fish oil supplement.

For sensitivity: Topically Vitamin A and E and Colostrum help with healing and normalising the skin. Avoid use of topical steroids, drying masks and foaming cleansers. Internally high Essential Fatty Acids (found in oily fish, leafy green vegetables, nuts and Efamol supplements), Vitamin B and Zinc are great to heal skin. Try to eat as close to nature as possible and test to see if you have a dairy or wheat allergy. Other things to avoid include spicy hot foods, alcohol and coffee. Try to avoid preservatives and consider seeing a naturopath for more individual advice. Avoid sun exposure and apply a sunscreen on your face daily. Try to minimise stress and exposure to hot and cold temperatures and water extremes.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines | About Man

Skin concerns

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

What causes wrinkles and fine lines?

These are caused by a breakdown of the collagen fibres in the skin.This breakdown is due to natural ageing but can be heavily accelerated by UV damage, free radical damage, neglect, lifestyle (high caffeine, high GI foods) and medication. Age, stress, lifestyle and the New Zealand sun are all big contributors. 

You may also notice a lack of firmness in the skin as you age - this is also due to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen is responsible for the structure (scaffold) of the skin and elastin is responsible for the 'sit and fit' of the skin.

Life changes your skin but you can change it back with cosmeceutical-grade skincare and advanced non-invasive skin treatments, and by changing certain lifestyle factors.
