Imperfections and redness: how to cope when your skin is having a crisis?

Attention, rash! It's hard to be on all fronts when skin problems accumulate: so when pimples appear at the same time as sensitivities, the skin sees red and the morale is also often affected... We reveal our beauty routine to pamper your abused skin, while treating imperfections.

Clean the skin without upsetting it

If you haven't already done so, forget micellar water and cotton pads and switch to expert cleansing in two steps (the famous double cleansing), whatever our skin type. Start by massaging the Cleansing Balm Oh My Cream Skincare Cleansing Balm, specifically designed for sensitive skin prone to blackheads: its coconut oil encapsulates all greasy substances without drying the skin. Rinse quickly, then follow with Clearcalm3 Clarifying Face Cleanser REN Skincare. Its clay base cleanses impurities without irritating, and absorbs excess sebum responsible for the appearance of pimples.

#seo: enzyme exfoliator

Gently exfoliate

Don't use grainy exfoliants, which are too aggressive for sensitized skin: they may also open up the heads of pimples, spreading the bacteria responsible for imperfections. On the other hand, you have everything to gain when you opt for exfoliants with well-chosen active ingredients. Once a week to start with (or twice a week), use our Exfoliating Powder Oh My Cream Skincare Exfoliating Powder after cleansing: its salicylic acid eliminates dead surface cells for smoother skin and unclogs pores deep down. Want to take a little more time for yourself? Try theEnzyme Exfoliator Gommage aux Enzymes Susanne Kaufmann: used in the Austrian brand's spa, its kiwi and apple enzymes purify in minutes, while its fenugreek extracts reduce inflammation.

#seo: imperfections serum

Treat spots with a targeted product

To prevent and combat a pimple outbreak, use a purifying serum every morning and evening... and an ultra-gentle one at that! Our Anti-Imperfections Serum Oh My Cream Skincare Anti-Imperfections Serum has been designed to calm the sebaceous glands and better regulate sebum production, while reducing inflammation. If you have very localized pimples on the face (for example, only on the chin, the area most affected by hormonal imbalances), you can dispense with using it on the rest of the face, and even use it as a preventive measure, just before your period for example.

Hydrate and protect sensitive skin

Nothing beats simplicity: opt for short, simple formulas, for maximum tolerance and no risk of rashes. The perfect combo? The Universal Cream Oh My Cream Skincare, a basic moisturizing cream for all skin types to hydrate and protect, to be used with a few drops of a skincare oil to help reduce the scars left by pimples. We no longer need to introduceWild Rose Oil Pai Skincare, which works very well as a duo. This high-quality skincare oil is the perfect compromise for sensitive skin prone to imperfectionsIt also helps prevent the first signs of aging in the thirties.

Use a super-mask to diminish redness and purify the skin 

The Aura Manuka Honey Mask Ever heard of Antipodes? This cult mask is unrivalled in its ability to relieve inflammatory conditions and reduce the appearance of small red spots. Moisturizing and purifying, it improves healing capacity thanks to manuka honey, the brand's signature active ingredient. A must-have that can be used twice a week without any problem when things get really bad!

 

I camouflage my small imperfections and my redness

In addition to the constant feeling of raw skin, the way you look (and the fear of others!) can quickly dampen your spirits. But don't panic! You can camouflage your imperfections without fear of clogging your pores and ruining all your efforts. Opt for Mineral Powder SPF20 Oh My Cream Skincare a mineral foundation that can also be used as a concealer where pimples and redness are more prominent.
