First comes ACNE:-
It is a common disorder of sebaceous glands (oil glands). When sebaceous glands secretes too much of sebum (oil), it causes Acne. It leads to blackheads white heads and pimples. Acne mainly occurs on face and sometimes on the shoulders, arms and the back.

BROKEN CAPILLARIES:-
Dry and mature skin is most prone to broken capillaries. When Blood ceases to pump through tiny capillaries, it results in weakening of capillary walls. Then these capillaries collapse and become visible on the surface. To prevent broken capillaries, one should protect his/her skin from cold and windy weather. One should not use abrasive cleansers. Drugs, alcohol, caffeine etc too can cause broken capillaries. Apply oils that help in blood circulation.

DRY SKIN:-

Moisturizing lotions and creams containing oils essential for our skin will definitely help in regaining the moisture loss. Skin massage with natural oils will help. One must also avoid hot steam baths.
