What factors can contribute to skin conditions?

Only internal factors
Only external factors
Both internal and external factors
Neither internal nor external factors

The correct answer is: Both internal and external factors

Skin conditions can arise from a complex interplay of both internal and external factors. Internal factors pertain to elements within the body that can influence skin health, such as hormonal changes, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying health conditions. For example, hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can lead to acne or other skin issues. Similarly, genetic predispositions can make certain individuals more susceptible to conditions like eczema or psoriasis. External factors encompass elements in the environment that can affect the skin, including sun exposure, pollution, climate, and products applied to the skin. For instance, excessive sun exposure can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer, while environmental allergens may trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate conditions like eczema. By understanding that both internal and external influences play significant roles in the development of skin conditions, estheticians can create more effective treatment plans and recommendations for their clients, addressing each individual's unique circumstances. This comprehensive approach highlights the importance of considering the holistic context of skin health.
