Asians are more susceptible to pigment changes in the skin as well as hormonal changes. In general, these changes are different than those of white skin, making certain conditions more common in Asians, such as excess facial and body hair, hyperpigmentation, acne and scarring.

Asian skin treatments

We have many asian female/male clients from all over UK that come to us to prepare their skin ready for their wedding day either contact us individually or referred from wedding make up artists. We prefer to start at least 3 months before the wedding to correct scars imperfections and stimulate collagen elastin to make the skin looking amazing for the big day so you do not have to worry about how your skin looks. The package starts with a skin analysis assessment using our skin analyser machine to identify areas which need addressing.

We then will create a personal programme to repair lift tighten and refresh using a combination of lasers peels , scar removal treatments. So far we have enjoyed assisting hundreds of asian brides to make their skin immaculate for their most important day.

Facts about Asian skin

Asian skin is said to be prone to irritation as it has a thinner outermost layer called the stratum corneum compared to other ethnic groups. As a result, Asian skin becomes extremely sensitive to environmental factors and chemicals which can disrupt the skin’s pH level. Asians, therefore, need to be more careful with what products and treatments they use as most Asian skin do not react well to harsh treatments such as peels and chemical products.

Because Asian skin is thinner on the surface it is also said that it is genetically more predisposed to scar more easily than others. Therefore greater care must be taken with an acne breakout and when one is trying to heal from skin scarring.

All skin types contain about the same number of melanocytes but the amount of melanin they produce varies.  Melanin is a natural skin pigment that protects the skin from UV damage.  Dark skinned people produce more melanin and light skin people produce less. Research has indicated that Asians have more photo-protective pigment melanin.

Dr Sagoo recommends the use of sunscreen religiously and using a product containing gentle skin brightening properties from the early twenties. Avoid hydroquinone!

Asian skin shows the highest levels of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), as well as increased levels of permeability. TEWL is the amount of water vapour lost through the skin under non-sweating conditions. Therefore, using products with high water retaining properties such as hyaluronic acid is good for Asian skin.

It is often said that Asian skin has more sebaceous glands and is oilier than Caucasian skin type.  This might have to do with the weather as well, but it is generally true that most Asians are constantly fighting to keep shine away from their skin.

Asian skin may get clogged easily, therefore, it is good to exfoliate once or twice a week. In addition, avoid harsh products that will strip away natural skin lipids and make the skin oilier.
