Understanding skin concerns
Achieve healthy skin, no matter your concern
With products that are specifically formulated to target signs of visible aging, acne, skin discolorations and sensitive skin conditions, PCA SKIN® can help you get the skin you’ve always wanted.
Visible aging
Age is just a state of mind – it doesn’t have to be the state of your skin
Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and dark spots are all signs of visible aging. There are two types of skin aging: intrinsic, which happens naturally over time, and extrinsic, which is a result of external factors like sun exposure, pollution, smoking, alcohol use and other lifestyle choices. Mild facial wrinkling, expression lines, and dry, sensitive skin are likely a result of intrinsic aging. Extrinsic factors are thought to be responsible for 85% of visible aging, with sun exposure being the leading cause. The suns damaging rays breakdown the skins support structure, leading to discoloration of the skin, wrinkles, sagging and, in some cases, even cancer.
When treating visible facial aging, you’ll want to use products that treat both existing conditions and also protect the skin from future damage.
Discoloration
Don’t fight skin discoloration, get even
Discoloration is an area of abnormal darkening of the skin, either visible spots or dark patches. Discoloration happens when your skin produces excess pigment, usually triggered by sun exposure, hormone fluctuations or skin injuries like acne, cuts or burns.
It is important to consult with a PCA SKIN® Certified Professional before using products to treat skin discoloration, as high percentages of certain ingredients can cause further irritation or darkening of the spots you’re intending to lighten.
