Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Smoothing Products
Why is my face textured?
If you're experiencing uneven skin texture, this is likely to be due to an excess of dead skin cells that have built up across your complexion. This will make your skin feel bumpy, rough, and may have a dull or even dry appearance. Other factors that contribute to unwanted texture on your face are exposure to environmental aggressors such as the sun, pollution, blue light, as well as lifestyle and dietary factors too. The good news is uneven face texture can be treated by at-home skin texture treatments and targeted skincare, as well as further in-office treatments too.
How do you get rid of rough, bumpy skin?
The first place to start to get rid of your rough, bumpy skin is with exfoliation. From dry to oily, every skin type can benefit from regular exfoliation. Weekly exfoliation with a pro-level liquid chemical exfoliator powered by AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) is essential in starting to remove that layer of dead skin cells, smoothing, refining, and brightening the skin. Next up will be a monthly at-home peel treatment. Our at-home face exfoliants including our peel kits are elevated exfoliation experiences suitable for every skin type. Pick the peel that feels right for your skin and perform this skin texture treatment monthly to experience transformational smoothing and resurfacing results. Using a daily vitamin C serum will help repair skin and protect it from further environmental damage, brightening and reducing pigmentation issues. Adding a retinol serum into your evening ritual will help with overnight clarity and smoothing. And, always wear a high-factor SPF everyday to protect skin from further sun or environmental damage.
Can moisturizer help with uneven skin texture?
Yes, moisturizer plays a crucial role in smoothing uneven skin texture. Hydration supports a healthy skin barrier, helping it retain moisture and recover from dryness, flaking, and roughness. Look for formulas that not only hydrate but also contain actives like lactic acid, niacinamide, or peptides—ingredients that gently resurface, soothe, and improve overall texture. When skin is properly hydrated, it appears softer, smoother, and more radiant.
How long does it take to improve skin texture?
Results can vary depending on your skin type and the products you're using, but with consistent use of targeted treatments, you can typically see an improvement in skin texture within 4 to 6 weeks. Regular exfoliation, incorporating ingredients like AHAs, retinol, and vitamin C, plus staying diligent with hydration and sun protection, are key. Remember—smooth, radiant skin is a journey, not an overnight fix, but the results are worth it.
