Why does my skin feel rough or uneven?

Texture & pores

Why does my skin feel rough even when it looks fine?

Roughness you feel more than you see is usually surface dryness or build-up, and it responds to hydration before it responds to exfoliation.

Texture & pores

Why do my pores look bigger than they used to?

Pore size itself is largely fixed, but how visible pores look changes with oil, surface build-up and how light hits the skin.

What are the small bumps on my skin that are not breakouts?

Small, colourless bumps that do not come to a head are usually surface congestion or dryness rather than active breakouts, and they respond to different steps.

How often should I exfoliate?

Most skin does well with one to two gentle sessions a week, and the right number is the one your skin still feels comfortable after.

Oil & combination

Why does my skin get shiny later in the day?

Surface oil builds through the day, and routines that strip or under-hydrate in the morning usually make the change more noticeable.

Sensitivity

Can sensitive skin exfoliate?

Often yes, but less frequently and more gently than most routines assume — and not at all while skin is actively reactive.

Building a routine

Is double cleansing necessary?

It is useful in the evening if you wear sunscreen or makeup, and unnecessary in the morning for most people.
