Sharing What I've Learned

There are women who for years enjoyed relatively clear facial skin, and suddenly, in their forties or fifties, pimples begin to appear.Sometimes they concentrate on the chin and along the jawline, sometimes they are deep and painful, and sometimes they appear again and again in the same place.It can be especially frustrating when we already invest in caring for our...

Sometimes a small mosquito bite leaves behind a brown mark that stays on the skin long after the itching and swelling have disappeared.The same thing can also happen after a pimple, a scratch, or skin irritation.We wait for the mark to disappear, but sometimes months pass and it's still there.This phenomenon is called Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.Why does a spot remain after...

Sometimes we notice a purple patch on the back of the hand or on the arm, and can't recall when we received a blow.The patch can look like a bruise, and sometimes it appears after light contact or friction that we don't attribute any importance to at all.One possible reason for this is a phenomenon called Solar Purpura, also known...

There is a phenomenon I'm sure many of us know.We get out of the shower, apply body cream, and the skin feels soft and pleasant. But after a few hours, especially in the shin area, the dryness returns.Sometimes small white flakes, a feeling of tightness, and even itching appear.This phenomenon is called Xerosis, or dry skin.Why do the shins tend...

Sometimes we notice a strange change in the skin. It's not necessarily especially dry, but when we lift our arms or stretch the skin slightly, small dense fine lines appear that resemble crepe paper.This phenomenon is called Crepey Skin, and it is especially common on the arms, the neck, the knee area, and additional parts of the body.What causes the...

Sometimes we run a hand over the face and feel a small, rough area.It looks like a dry patch, sometimes slightly reddish, and we apply moisturizer to it.But despite the care, the rough texture doesn't disappear.In certain cases it's a phenomenon called Actinic Keratosis.What is actinic keratosis?It is a change in the skin usually caused by cumulative exposure to ultraviolet...

Sometimes small bumps in the color of the skin or in a yellowish shade appear on the forehead or on the cheeks.They don't look like regular pimples, usually don't hurt, and don't disappear even after we cleanse the skin well.One possibility is a phenomenon called Sebaceous Hyperplasia, or a benign enlargement of the sebaceous glands.What are the sebaceous glands?The sebaceous...

Sometimes we notice a tiny red dot on the stomach, the chest, or the arms. It doesn't hurt, doesn't itch, and doesn't really bother us, but after a while we discover there are a few more such dots.We try to understand where they came from and whether they indicate something happening in the body.In many cases it's a phenomenon called...

There is a skin phenomenon I'm sure many are familiar with, even if they don't know what it's called.Tiny dots that appear mainly on the upper part of the arms, sometimes also on the thighs or buttocks.The skin feels rough, almost like sandpaper, and sometimes the dots are reddish or look like tiny pimples.We try to scrub the area in...

We are used to associating dark circles under the eyes with tiredness and lack of sleep.But sometimes we sleep well, maintain a skincare routine, and yet the area under the eyes looks dark.So maybe it's not always about tiredness.In fact, there are several different reasons that can cause dark circles to appear, and the difference between them is especially important...

Sometimes the facial skin looks relatively clean, but when we run our fingers over it, we feel tiny bumps.They're not always red, not necessarily painful, and sometimes it's even hard to see them without strong lighting.We try to do a peel or cleanse the face better, but the rough texture remains.One possible reason for this is closed comedones, called in...

There is an area of the body we tend to forget in our skincare routine.We cleanse the face, apply serums, creams, and sunscreen, but don't always continue the same routine to the neck and décolleté as well.And then, over the years, we begin to notice fine lines, spots, and changes in the skin texture in these areas.Why does neck skin...

We look in the mirror and notice that the pores in the nose and cheek area look larger than before.Sometimes we try masks, products that promise to shrink pores, or products that are supposed to give the skin a completely smooth appearance.But before trying to make them smaller, it's worth understanding what they actually are and why they're there.What are...

Do you know those days when we look in the mirror and suddenly it seems a few more fine lines have appeared?The skin looks a bit tired, less smooth, and the small lines around the eyes or on the cheeks look more prominent.But not every such change indicates accelerated aging.Sometimes it's fine lines that become more prominent because of a...

Sometimes we notice a thin red line that appears beside the nose or on the cheek.At first it's almost invisible, but over time we begin to notice a few more small lines.We try to apply a cream to soothe redness, and sometimes the skin really does look calmer, but the lines themselves remain.This phenomenon is called Telangiectasia, or a dilation...

There is something frustrating about the small dots that appear on the nose. We clean, use masks, sometimes even press on them gently, and the next day it seems they're there again.But there is something interesting that not everyone knows. Not every dark dot on the nose is a blackhead that needs to be extracted.Sometimes it's something completely natural called...

Why do they appear mainly around the eyes, what causes them to form, and why shouldn't we try to extract them ourselves?Sometimes we notice tiny white dots that appear under the eyes, on the cheeks, or in the forehead area.At first they look like small pimples, and we wait for them to disappear. But weeks pass, sometimes even months, and...

Why even oily skin can suffer from a lack of water, and how to recognize what the skin really needs?We are used to dividing our skin into several types: dry, oily, combination, or normal.But there is another condition that doesn't always get enough attention, and that is dehydrated skin.Quite a few women feel that their skin is tight, lacking vitality,...
