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.
