Skin congestion refers to a build-up of dead skin cells, excess sebum and debris within the pores, creating a dull, bumpy or rough texture on the surface. Unlike active acne, congestion may not always present as inflamed lesions.
Instead, it often appears as closed comedones, blackheads, milia or persistently uneven skin tone. Contributing causes include inadequate exfoliation, heavy skincare products, hormonal activity and sluggish lymphatic drainage.
Congestion builds when dead skin cells are not adequately cleared, trapping sebum and debris inside the follicle. Over-use of heavy skincare products, hormonal activity and poor lymphatic drainage all contribute to a congested complexion.
Dead skin cells accumulate, blocking follicle openings and trapping sebum beneath the surface.
Occlusive creams and silicone-based products can sit on the surface and contribute to blocked pores.
Hormones drive sebum production, increasing the likelihood of congestion in oily skin types.
Poor lymphatic drainage reduces the skin's ability to clear cellular waste efficiently.
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
