The Skinny
Skin cells are some of the fastest growing cells in the body. We shed hundreds of thousands of skin cells from the outer layer of skin a day regardless of skin type or skin tone. Sun damage and sun exposure, age spots, fine lines, acne scars, and damaged skin can produce abnormalities of skin texture, including rough and bumpy skin, large pores, and dull skin (learn more in our complete guide to Uneven Skin Texture Concerns). Cosmetic procedures like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or exfoliating techniques can promote new collagen, activate the body’s healing process, and create a freshly rejuvenated new skin appearance.
