Causes
Why does it happen? We organized the mechanism of six areas from the cause. A place to understand the workings before rushing to a response.
Sweat & Odor
Separate the amount of sweat from the quality of odor
Why do hyperhidrosis, body odor (bromhidrosis), and age-related odor happen? An explainer that breaks down the causes — eccrine glands that produce sweat, apocrine glands and the skin bacteria that create odor.
Skin & Acne Scars
Separate the acne you have now from the scars left behind
Why does acne form, and why do scars remain? An explainer on the four mechanisms — sebum, clogged pores, acne bacteria, inflammation — and why pigmentation and pitted scars are left behind.
Facial Impression
Impression is not decided by features alone
Why does facial impression — or 'looking older' — arise? An explainer that breaks it into elements: skin texture, contour, the eye area, expression habits, and cleanliness.
Mind & Self-Consciousness
The look of fatigue, and how self-consciousness works
Why does a 'tired-looking face' appear, and why does self-consciousness linger? An explainer on the mechanism of sleep debt, the eye area, and the autonomic nervous system — and on why the habit of minding lingers.
Hair Loss & AGA
When you noticed it shapes the outcome most
Why does male pattern hair loss (AGA) progress? An explainer from the mechanism — the conversion of testosterone to DHT and the sensitivity of hair follicles — and why it advances from the hairline and crown.
Beard & Body Hair
Thickness is decided by constitution, not effort
Why does body and facial hair thickness differ from person to person? An explainer on how male hormones, the sensitivity of follicle receptors, and genetics decide it.
