A 5-Step Guide to Your Smoothest Face Ever

No one wants to hear that they have a problem they didn’t even know existed, you may have heard and even suffer from uneven skin tone, but did you know that uneven skin texture is just as common?

Uneven skin texture is commonly a result of excess dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin. This can make areas of the skin feel rough or bumpy to the touch and can also give the skin a dull appearance. As for how it happens, there are many potential factors.

In addition to dead skin cell buildup, chronic sun exposure can also play a big role in uneven skin texture and pore-size irregularity. Natural aging of the skin will also make the skin look duller. Factors such as smoking may also contribute, and other skin conditions such as eczema and dry skin can severely affect skin tone and texture.

Keep reading for a five-step guide to smoothing out your face once and for all.

  1. Exfoliate.

If skin cell buildup is the issue, remedying the situation could be as simple as sloughing those dead cells away. Make sure you’re exfoliating once a week with a dedicated scrub, sonic cleaning brush, or chemical exfoliant, and target the areas that feel uneven.

This all being said, it’s worth noting that using scrubs that are too abrasive—or scrubbing too often, for that matter—can cause oil overproduction and micro-tears in your skin, which will only exacerbate your texture issues. Stick with formulas that use gentle ingredients like jojoba beads or natural grains, and make sure you abide by that once-a-week rule. The alternative is to ditch scrubs altogether in favor of chemical exfoliants—more on that next!

2. Try a chemical peel.

Try glycolic acid peels at home, or, if you have the opportunity to try it, a chemical peel at the dermatologist’s office. It’s a more acute way to resurface skin than just exfoliating by hand. This can remove sun-damaged skin and stimulate its healthy regrowth in a controlled fashion. The resulting exfoliation removes dead cell layers, promotes underlying collagen regeneration to reduce fine lines, and evens out the texture and pigment of one’s skin.

3. Apply an oil to the problem area.

In keeping with the philosophy that oil-based products are best for regulating sebum production, a rough, blackhead-speckled nose would experience less buildup with a facial oil. Dab a bit of the facial oil on the affected areas, and you will notice after some time, that the skin should get much smoother.

4. Stock up on vitamin C.

Adding vitamin C to your skincare routine will help improve skin texture by providing a powerful antioxidant to repair and defend the skin from environmental damage and restore suppleness while reducing pigmentation, scar tissue, and age spots. That defense is key if you want to avoid more texture problems down the line.

5.Wear SPF. (ALWAYS.)

Add this to the endless laundry list of reasons protecting your skin from the sun should always be your first priority.
