Blemishes: Everything you’ve never been told (and how to really treat them).
When it comes to blemishes, certain preconceived ideas are hard to dispel... After all, who hasn't heard that you should avoid cold meats at all costs to avoid a pimple outbreak? Here's how to really take care of your skin if you have blemishes!
Stop being afraid of fat to treat imperfections
We can be forgiven for thinking the opposite but oil plays an essential role in helping our skin to function correctly. Rather than using astringent products that reduce excess sebum and encourage the glands to produce more to protect the skin, apply a plant-based oil that is close to the texture of the skin’s natural oil, i.e. sebum. The sebaceous glands will then diminish their sebum production little by little. NB - all plant oils are not suitable in this situation as some are more comedogenic than others. Jojoba oil is the closest to the skin’s own sebum.

Using an astringent make-up remover every day is not a solution to your blemish problems.
This goes back to what we explained earlier: by wanting to eliminate oil at all costs, you destabilize your skin even more, which will produce more of it to defend itself (after all, that's the 1st role of sebum). To start with, we rely on an ultra-complete double cleanse to perfectly eliminate all impurities, withoutboosting sebum production. The first oily cleanser attracts deep-seated impurities like a magnet, while the second gel cleanser refines make-up removal and begins to gently treat imperfections.

And what about food?
A 2015 study pointed the finger at the Western diet, and in particular at our high consumption of dairy products, saturated fats and foods with a high glycemic index. The latter would disrupt our hormonal system and in particular increase our levels of androgenic (male) hormones... And therefore promote blemishes. But this remains to be proven.
