What is Rough and Uneven Skin Texture?
What is Rough and Uneven Skin Texture?
Unlike uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture measures the skin’s surface condition. Good skin texture is soft and smooth, well hydrated with firm collagen and elastin support. Uneven skin texture is coarse, rough, dull, dry and can often have solar damage.
Poor hydration, nutrition and lifestyle choices can result in rough skin on face, the skin to dry out and feel uneven. Rough and bumpy skin not only feels scratchy, but it can also make your complexion lackluster and appear dull.
What causes Rough and Uneven Skin Texture?
What causes Rough and Uneven Skin Texture?
Uneven skin texture may be due to wrinkles, fine lines, acne, and acne scars. Or it may result from sun damage, skin aging, and a poor skin care routine. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin and contributes to rough, prematurely aged skin. Aging is another common cause of irregular skin texture. With aging, surface skin cells aren’t shed as rapidly. This causes dead skin cells to build up; leading to skin that feels rough and has a dull appearance.
Poor hydration and nutrition can also cause the skin to dry out and feel uneven. Uneven skin texture not only feels scratchy, it also makes your complexion look lackluster and dull.

What products are good for uneven skin texture?
We recommend looking for ingredients classified as chemical exfoliants to target skin texture. These ingredients get rid of dead skin cells by dissolving their bonds to the skin’s surface and enabling them to be sloughed away. Some chemical exfoliants can also penetrate pores to help remove excess sebum and impurities.
The types of chemical exfoliants used most commonly in skincare can be divided into alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Originally derived from plants like willow, salicylic acid is one of the best chemical exfoliants for uneven skin. Salicylic acid is a versatile ingredient suitable for several skin types including skin prone to mild acne and oily skin. This impressive ingredient can be found in cleansers, serums, moisturisers, masks and more.
