My anti-imperfection routine
My skin right now:
Sebaceous glands that work a little too hard, an epidermis that thickens, bacteria that gets in the way: all of this creates an inflammatory terrain conducive to the appearance of pimples. And when this vicious circle gets out of control under the influence of stress, pollution or an ill-adapted routine, it's an escalation! We opt for a gentle but effective routine, which will treat without stripping.
To get started:
1 to 2 times a week:
Once or twice a week, for a deeper cleansing of the skin and to eliminate dead cells, we opt for an exfoliation with the Oh My Cream Skincare Exfoliating Powder. Ideal for skin prone to imperfections, this soft powder transforms into a foam on contact with water to smooth the skin texture, unify and boost the complexion's radiance and prevent imperfections.
On clean skin and ideally after exfoliation with the Exfoliating Powder, leave the Oh My Cream Skincare Cleansing Mask on for 10 minutes. With its duo of green and white clays, it absorbs excess sebum and impurities to better prevent and treat imperfections. And to urgently purify and accelerate the elimination of imperfections, you can also apply and leave on the affected areas the Saturn Sulfur Spoit Treatment Mask Sunday Riley, before rinsing.

Pimples and blackheads are related to our skin condition: this skin condition fluctuates throughout the year, as it is influenced by external factors but also by internal factors. Discover the right gestures to control imperfections!
Why do I have blemishes?
It all comes down to the sebaceous gland, the "little skin bag" that produces sebum. With hormonal variations, stress, lifestyle, a polluted environment, certain medications and many other factors, the sebaceous gland tends to get carried away and produce too much sebum. Add to this a thickening epidermis, bacteria (cutibacterium acnes) and you've got an inflammatory terrain that's open season for imperfections ! Underneath the excess sebum, pores dilate as they try to "breathe". Except that dilated pores are also a great place for impurities to lodge... And thus provoke new imperfections, including blackheads. A real vicious circle!
The ideal routine for blemishes and blackheads
A double cleansing to purify the skin and fight against imperfections
On dry skin, massage in a makeup-removing oil (or balm). Contrary to popular belief, make-up-removing oil is the best option for removing make-up from skin prone to imperfections by attracting greasy substances like a magnet. Unharmed, the epidermis produces less sebum. Follow with a soap-free, foaming gel cleanser. This will refine cleansing and begin to treat pimples and blackheads. It can also be used in the morning to refresh the skin.
Gentle exfoliation to eliminate imperfections and pimples
Rather than a grainy scrub that could spread the bacteria responsible for acne, opt for enzymatic or fruit acid-based exfoliation to dislodge impurities and blackheads. The skin will also be smoother andblemish marks less visible.
Skin care oil to regulate sebum production
Once again, it's important to dispel the myth that skincare oils cause pimples. It all depends on the type of oil you use. Choose dry, regulating skincare oils. To be applied every evening and possibly in the morning, skincare oil regulates sebum production and fights inflammation. It also accelerates regeneration, thus reducing scarring.
