Skin Texture and Complexion

In the world of non-surgical anti-ageing treatments, skin texture and complexion are often overlooked. Yet the texture and complexion of the skin are crucial to its overall appearance. Skin that is in good condition will have a radiance and glow which add immeasurably to the perception of youth.

Skin Texture and Complexion

Texture is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as:

"The feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance."

Complexion is defined as:

"The natural colour, texture, and appearance of a person's skin, especially of the face. "

Healthy skin texture should be well-hydrated, evenly pigmented and smooth. This is influenced by a number of areas:

1. Good daily care regime, keeping the skin clean and well-hydrated
2. Diet, avoiding sugars and processed foods in favour of fresh fruit/veg
3. Drinking plenty of water
4. Sun protection year round, to avoid sun damage and pigmentation
5. Treatment of any conditions such as acne, eczema; which have a dramatic negative effect on complexion

Exfoliation is known to improve skin texture and complexion. The process is used to slough away dead skin cells, revealing fresher skin beneath. Home scrubs can be used, but for a deeper experience, professional treatments are available.

• Chemical peels for exfoliation
• Microdermabrasion for exfoliation

In addition, other professional treatments which can be helpful in improving skin texture include:

• Laser treatments
• Prescription Skincare or LED Skin Therapy to address specific conditions

Mulberry House Clinic based in Northampton offers the latest skin treatments and technology. Whereas many skin clinics tend to concentrate largely on anti-ageing injections, Mulberry House Clinic also offers a range of treatments to address skin texture and complexion. The recommended starting point is a skin consultation with a trained expert, who can assess your skin and recommend the best combination of at-home and in-clinic treatments to improve and maintain it.
