Acne marks can remain long after a breakout has healed, affecting the evenness of the complexion and sometimes lowering confidence.

Split ends, medically called trichoptilosis, develop when the protective cuticle at the end of a hair fibre becomes worn away and the exposed shaft separates into two or more fragments.

They may become more noticeable when oil, dead skin and debris collect inside the follicle or when sun damage reduces the skin’s firmness.
