LATINO SKIN

If you are Latino, generally speaking, you have the firmest skin of any ethnicity. Your ostaging pigmentation can protect you from deep scarring. The high oil production, associated with firm skin, may cause many problems for your ostaging complexion. The sebaceous glands bring excess oil to the skin’s surface, which may result in enlarged pores, oily t-zones, blackheads, and easy scarring. The thick skin may result in dark spots from breakouts and sun exposure.

Three skin variables associated with Latino skin including hyperpigmentation, oil, and skin thickness present unique dilemmas for treatment. Skin products with a higher potency compared to those for Blacks, Asians or Caucasian skin maybe necessary. Conversely, over-drying of thick skin may cause trapped deposits of oil beneath the skin. This may produce nightmare breakouts and spotting. This cycle can be prevented by combining the right treatments and products to prevent this domino reaction. This strategy will give your skin the greatest benefits and ensure long lasting results. At the Shanti Medical Spa & Wellness Center we have special skin care regimens focused on treatment and prevention of problematic oily skin.
