Pilling

Pilling on the skin is the formation of small, rolled-up particles or flakes that can accumulate on the surface of the skin due to skincare products. It often happens when different products or ingredients, such as moisturisers, serums, and makeup, interact and create clumps or balls.

It’s important to note that pilling can occur due to different factors, including the texture and composition of products, the order in which they are applied, and the amount of product used. Proper layering and application methods can help minimise the occurrence of pilling.

Treatment tips that can help you reduce Pilling

• Apply lightweight products before richer ones to stop pilling caused by incompatible textures
• Allow each product to fully absorb into the skin before applying the next product
• Gently pat products into the skin instead of rubbing vigorously
• Applying too much product can increase the chance of pilling
• Pilling can occur when different types of formulas are used together, for example, a rich moisturiser with an oil-free sunscreen
• When applying makeup, give your skincare products time to fully absorb into your skin
• Gentle exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells that contribute to pilling
• If pilling continues, consult a skincare professional for personalised skincare advice
