My anti-blemish routine
My skin at the moment:
Sebaceous glands that work a little too hard, a thickening epidermis, bacteria that get in the way: all this creates an inflammatory terrain conducive to the appearance of pimples. And when this vicious circle spirals out of control under the influence of stress, pollution or a poorly-adapted routine, the situation escalates! Opt for a gentle yet effective routine that treats without stripping.
Getting started :
1 or 2 times a week:
Once or twice a week, for deeper cleansing and to eliminate dead skin cells, opt for exfoliation with Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask Purifying Exfoliating Mask Innisfree. Ideal for skin prone to imperfections, this exfoliating mask cleanses and purifies the skin without drying it out, for reduced imperfections and a more even complexion.
And for urgent cleansing and accelerated elimination of imperfections, you can also apply Saturn Sulfur Spoit Treatment Mask Sunday Riley and leave it on the affected areas, before rinsing.

Pimples and blackheads are linked to our skin condition: this skin condition fluctuates over the course of the year, as it is influenced by both external and internal factors. Find out how to keep blemishes under control!
Why do I have imperfections?
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
Double cleansing to purify skin and combat 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.
