What Causes Textured Skin?
Textured skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetics: If your parents have textured skin, you may be more prone to it as well.
- Excess Oil Production: Oily skin can lead to clogged pores and uneven skin texture.
- Aging: As we age, our skin's natural collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin and a loss of elasticity.
- Sun Damage: Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin, leading to premature aging and uneven skin texture.
- Acne: Acne scars can leave the skin with a textured appearance.
