Despite the crisis, 76 percent of the Dutch say that they are comfortable in their own skin. A skin problem can get in the way of feeling good. This is apparent from a study by the Dutch Association of Skin Therapists.
Healthy skin
One of the factors that is important for feeling good is healthy skin. However, not everyone has healthy skin of their own. Most of us suffer from excessive hair, acne and edema. 55% of women indicate that they camouflage their skin problem with make-up.
Treating skin problem
Do you really suffer from a skin problem? Then you can seek professional help. Most go to the doctor or a dermatologist for this. However, a good alternative can also be a visit to the skin therapist. Only a few go to the psychologist for the feelings that these problems entail.
Get support Struggling with a skin problem can make you very insecure. Your partner can offer you a lot of support in this regard. In the Netherlands, more than 6 in 10 indicate that they do not find it a problem if their partner has a visible skin problem. So don't be afraid to be judged on your skin!
