Radiant Medspa understands how Vietnamese skin can be different. Vietnamese experience skin problems from skincare products that work well for Caucasians. This is because of the differentiation in their skin characteristics. To help you take care of your skin well, let us understand what issues Vietnamese women face:

• Irritation: Changes in weather affect their skin due to temperature variations. Weather in Vietnam is often changing in extremes. Too hot makes skin oily because your adrenaline induces additional oil secretion. This is to protect the skin from too much heat. During cold months, the oil secretion of your body is minimal. This dries the skin. These changes in weather make the skin easily irritated especially for Vietnamese Women. Popular skincare products made for Caucasians irritate the Asian skin and may wreak havoc to it. This is because Caucasians consider their skin characteristic in creating their products. Therefore, Asians should look for products that meet their skin characteristics. This proves that popular and expensive does not correlate to effective.

• Skin pigmentation or dark spots. Dark spots appear on Vietnamese skin early in life. This is the reason why Vietnamese worry about whitening rather than wrinkling. Wrinkles appear quite later but of course, lifestyle and internal health problems may create skin issues. Exposure to sun is likewise negative for your skin and may cause discoloration.

• Prone to acne. Because of the hot weather in Vietnam, their skin is oilier. It easily traps dirt, clogs the pores and may cause acne. Skin exfoliation is necessary. Knowing the issues that your skin may face will help you take care of it well. However, you may also need to look at your skin type to be able to choose products that fits your skin type.
