Indian and Asian Skin – Buckinghamshire

Common Indian and Asian Skin concerns.

The most common skin concerns for Indian and Asian skin types, tend to be acne, acne scaring, blackheads, congestion, compromised skin, uneven skin tones / uneven colour, and pigmentation (like Melasma), especially around the eyes and mouth of Indian skin tones.

Indian and Asian skin tends to be thicker than that of whiter / fairer skin tones in other areas of the world. Unlike Caucasian skin, Indian skin will tan more easily. This generates sun damage over the years as well as continual poor skin health.

Why does Indian and Asian skin suffer?

In general, their Indian skin types have been exposed to a large number of UV rays. UV rays from the sun are the biggest cause of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and premature ageing of the skin.

Also:

Genetics – The genetic makeup of Asian and Indian skin can make it more susceptible to certain skin conditions. For example, individuals with darker skin tones produce more melanin, which can lead to hyperpigmentation.

The environment

Pollution

Poor diet (those high in sugar, dairy and carbohydrates) can lead to acne and acne scars

Drying chemical and irritants in soaps and cosmetics

Hormonal imbalances are likely to cause acne and pigmentation in Indian and Asian skin. This may include polycystic ovarian syndrome in women

Humid temperatures

Changing of hot to cold temperatures

DMK Skin Revision Programme – DMK work within the Indian or Asian skin’s own body chemistry. Acne and acne scars can be treated and removed using specific enzymes that work within the skin. The skin will also look hydrated, have pigmentation reduction, be brighter and with a more even skin tone and colour.

Chemical Skin Peels – depending on the skin type, skin tone, and skin colour a bespoke chemical peel may be the best solution for dehydrated, congested, and pigmented skin. They are a professional way to exfoliate the skin and promote new cell turnover.

Hydra Facial – this treatment has the advantage to exfoliate with microdermabrasion, hydrate, and renew the skin. It is perfect for compromised skin, congested skin, skin that is looked dull, tired, dehydrated, pigmented, and has uneven skin tone.

Microneedling / Skinneedling – This treatment will use micro needles which penetrate just the surface of the skin. They create small micro-injuries. This then stimulates natural healing for the skin which causes new cell turnover, collagen, and elastin. The skin will look more even-toned, smoother, brighter and firmer.
