Problem skin, or what kind of skin?

Problem skin is a medical term used to describe skin that is prone to various dermatological problems, such as acne, pimples, blackheads and inflammation. It is characterized by an unstable sebum balance, increased sebum production and a tendency to clog pores. There are many factors that can contribute to having problematic skin, including genetics, hormonal changes, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors. Problem skin can be more difficult to care for and require special care. Understanding the characteristics of problematic skin is important to be able to select appropriate skin care strategies and therapies to help improve its condition and prevent further dermatological problems. Not only will home care be helpful, but also cosmetology treatments, where specialists will select the right treatments for the skin's needs.

How to take care of problematic skin?

If you have problematic skin, it is worth treating it properly and giving it more care than less demanding skin. A common mistake is to use cosmetics that are too aggressive and counterproductive. Instead, here are some tips:

  • Gentle cleansing: when choosing facial cleansing products, it's worth paying attention to those that are gentle and do not violate the skin's natural barrier. It's worth avoiding overly aggressive products such as those with alcohol, which can lead to dryness and irritation.
  • Regular moisturization: moisturization is key for problematic skin. Choose lightweight, non-greasy moisturizers that will provide the skin with the substances it needs without clogging pores.
  • Avoid irritating ingredients: avoid cosmetics containing alcohol, strong fragrances or aggressive cleansers. These can irritate the skin and worsen its condition.
  • Use anti-acne products: if you're struggling with acne or pimples, it's worth reaching for products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These substances help unblock pores and reduce inflammation. However, remember to moisturize properly so that you don't dry out and paradoxically: exacerbate the problem.
  • Regular peeling: a gentle enzyme or chemical scrub can help remove dead skin, improve skin texture and reduce blackheads.
  • Sun protection: overexposure to UV rays can worsen problematic skin. Using sunscreens with SPF will help protect the skin from damage and inflammation.
  • Healthy diet: a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and proper hydration helps improve skin condition.
  • Avoiding picking and squeezing skin lesions: can lead to infections and worsen the complexion.
  • Regular visits to a dermatologist: skin problems are definitely worth consulting a specialist, who will choose the appropriate treatments and care.

Remember that every skin is different, so it is worth leaving its evaluation to a specialist. The OT.CO Clinic offers not only services by specialized doctors but also less invasive skin care and cosmetology treatments.

A way to deal with problematic skin: the Geneo treatment

A way to treat problematic skin that is growing in popularity is the innovative Geneo procedure. This advanced procedure is based on three key steps: cleansing, infusion of active ingredients and oxygenation of the skin. Using cutting-edge technology and a carefully selected combination of acting ingredients, the Geneo treatment can produce a result best suited to the patient's needs: rejuvenation, brightening or deep cleansing and inflammation relief. The process begins with gentle exfoliation of the epidermis, removing impurities, dead cells and excess sebum. Active nourishing, moisturizing and revitalizing ingredients are then introduced into the skin, tailored to the patient's individual needs. Under the contact of the head with the skin, the resulting CO2 bubbles move to the outer layers of the skin, making the complexion more oxygenated and ready to absorb the nutrients. The skin's natural regenerative processes are thus stimulated. The Geneo treatment is painless, non-invasive and relaxing. For best results, a series of treatments is recommended, which can contribute to a marked improvement in skin condition, reduction of acne, scars or hyperpigmentation. It is advisable to consult with an experienced specialist prior to the procedure to select the appropriate skin care strategy, tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Conclusion

Problem skin can be frustrating, but with proper care, improvement is possible. From gentle cleansing and moisturization to professional treatments like Geneo, there are effective solutions to regain healthy skin. Remember, consistency and expert guidance make all the difference. Don't settle for quick fixes—invest time in what truly works for your skin's needs.
