Rough facial skin typically requires enhanced skincare, including regular use of exfoliating products to remove excess keratinized cells. It is also important to avoid spicy and irritating foods and to apply moisturizing lotion to lock in skin hydration and prevent moisture loss. In more severe cases, a visit to a dermatologist may be warranted for treatments such as chemical peels using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), photorejuvenation, or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy—these modalities stimulate the skin and accelerate cellular turnover, thereby improving facial skin roughness.
