We know how frustrating it is to deal with bumpy, dry, or rough skin. It can be difficult to know what’s causing poor skin texture, or what you can do about it. Rough skin can be caused by aging, hormones, diet, allergies, medications, genetics, and more. That’s why we offer virtual consultations to help you make a personalized treatment plan. We’ve also put together our top tips to improve your skin texture. 
## 1. Use a Retinol
Retinol can be an extremely effective treatment that improves skin texture in just a few weeks. It’s a vitamin A derivative that can work wonders. This multitasking skincare product promotes cell turnover, provides acne relief, rejuvenates your skin, reduces the signs of aging, brightens skin, and improves skin texture. A range of creams contain retinol, or you can get a prescription-strength cream for tougher concerns.
## 2. Apply SPF
Never underestimate the importance of proper sun protection! Sun-damaged skin can feel irritated, dry, and rough. Applying sunscreen, even on grey days, can save your skin. SPF cream protects your skin from harmful UV rays, decreases your risk of sunspots, and even improves skin texture. 
## 3. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation should be part of your regular skincare routine. It can remove dry or dead skin cells, improve circulation, and encourage cell growth. Make sure you choose the right exfoliator for your skin type and build it slowly into your routine. Exfoliating one to three times per week is right for most people. Over-exfoliation can break down your skin’s natural moisture barrier and can make your skin texture worse.
## 4. Book a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can address a range of skin concerns. Peels can reduce scars, even out skin tone, treat acne, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin texture. After a chemical peel, you’ll enjoy smooth, glowing skin. Peels will strip the top layers of skin, removing dry, flaky, and rough skin to reveal supple skin underneath. There are a range of chemical peels to choose from, so you can get the treatment that will give you the best results.
## 5. Try PRP Microchanneling 
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP treatments can help skin tissue repair itself. Also called a vampire facial, this treatment can improve skin tone and boost the turnover of skin cells. Professional microchanneling leads to smoother, healthier skin. It also boosts collagen and elastin production to reduce fine lines and diminishes the signs of aging. 
## 6. Get Baby Botox
Botox can erase fine lines and smooth away wrinkles. Common Botox areas include around the eyes, between the brows, and on the forehead. It can also improve the texture of your skin. Baby Botox targets the skin. Small doses of Botox are injected in the skin to shrink enlarged pores and give you smoother skin.
