ACNE / DRY & BREAKOUT
Acne is commonly associated with oily skin, let it be known that dry skin can cause breakouts too. Moisture keeps the skin pliable and supple, whereas the lack of it causes skin to crack, flake, peel, and possibly break out due to overworking the sebaceous glands in the epidermis. When our skin is overwhelmed by our own sweat, dirt, and debris trapped in our glands, our sebaceous glands take over and try to moisturize our skin with our own stale sweat and dirt trapped in our pores. This causes quick evaporation on the surface of the skin and breakouts. Using a toner daily will help balance and clean out the pores. Also, Moisturizers will help with our TEWL, transepidermal water loss caused by evaporation on the skin’s surface. Our skin needs that protective barrier with a nourishing moisturizer for rebalancing your skin’s pH and awakening your complexion.

ROSACEA / REDNESS
Sometimes confused with acne, rosacea often shows on the skin as an inflammation and reddening on the nose, forehead, cheekbone or chin. Inflamed capillaries on the skin’s surface give the complexion a flushed look. Rosacea can cause persistent blushing or flushing in the central part of your face. Studies show that in people of colour, rosacea can be missed or misdiagnosed as an allergic reaction or seborrheic dermatitis.

Hyperpigmentation
The genetic background of a person influences pigmentation disorders. Abnormal pigmentation, referred to as dyschromia, can be caused by various internal and external factors
Hyperpigmentation is an overproduction of pigment, and Hypopigmentation lacks pigment. Hyperpigmentation is an umbrella term used to cover any number of conditions where one patch of skin becomes noticeably darker than the surrounding skin of the same area. This term covers several more specific conditions such as liver spots, age spots, sunspots, freckles and melasma, lentigo, ephelids, nevus, poikiloderma of civatte, and tanning.
Although different types of hyperpigmentation can be caused by various different factors.
Look for products that include tyrosinase inhibitors such as: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), azelaic acid, hexylresorcinol, arbutin, bearberry, niacinamide, and kojic acid for lightening ingredients.
Atlas Rose highly recommends 2 products to incorporate into your daily routine if you’re struggling with a type of hyperpigmentation:
Brightening Serum (water-based, absorbs quickly) - contains arbutin, bearberry, kojic acid
Vitamin C or Radiance serum (oil-based, absorbs slower)- contains 18% pure Vitamin C.
Using both products will help block the melanocytes (pigment cells) preventing more hyperpigmentation and aid in lightening the skin.

Dehydrated skin
Not the same as dry skin.
Dehydration of the surface is one of the most common skin concerns. The major cause of dehydration is evaporation and loss of sebum from the surface of the skin due to harsh, drying soaps and alkolis as well as through dried winter months, heat, and changes in climate. Dehydrated skin can also be hereditary, different environmental factors, stress, and poor diet can cause dehydration.
