In a perfect world, acne wouldn't exist, but the truth is that it affects many women, and not just during adolescence. Acne can appear at any age, often due to hormonal changes, but also associated with other factors such as stress, diet, and lack of basic skincare.
In this article, we tell you everything you need to know to simplify what seems complicated , creating a routine that helps you control oiliness, calm inflammation, balance and hydrate your skin, leaving it cleaner, healthier, and free of impurities and imperfections.
Simplify
One of the most important aspects of routines is that they are simple. And consistent. Especially if we have more problematic skin, we don't want to skip steps. That's why it's so important to start the day right with a cleansing ritual, giving your facial skin everything it needs to get rid of annoying pimples and blemishes. And at night, repeat the three magic steps – cleanse, tone, moisturize – and add one more gesture that will make all the difference. We'll get to that in a moment.
To clean
The first step, we can't stress enough, is to thoroughly cleanse the skin, removing impurities and all irritants that can cause real damage if left untreated (pollution, makeup, and even daily contact with your cell phone screen, believe it or not!). Ideally, use a deep-cleansing oil that gently cleanses, such as our Camellia cleansing oil specifically formulated for sensitive and reactive skin. Made with Japanese camellia, it cleanses the skin without irritating it, while also helping to balance the skin's pH. Use it morning and night with a 100% organic cotton facial towel and see the wonderful effects of natural cleansing.
Tone
With clean skin, let's soothe and refresh it. Our Cucumber Essence is perfect for this: spray 3 to 4 times directly onto your face and feel your skin soothe. With anti-inflammatory properties, this essence helps to close pores, control oiliness, and calm inflamed and irritated skin, making it one of the best allies for controlling acne.
Hydrate
After cleansing and toning, the skin is ready to receive hydration. In the case of more complicated skin types, the choice of moisturizer should be even more careful to avoid excess oiliness and clogged pores that cause pimples. Repara is a light and delicate facial serum, specially formulated for oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, that will deeply cleanse and hydrate, combat imperfections, and help balance pH, while also helping to soothe and reverse acne naturally. The secret? A botanical active ingredient, Blue Tansy, known for its calming properties. 2 or 4 drops are enough to hydrate the skin with this serum. Apply them to the face in upward motions and feel how your skin thanks you.
At night
Before resting, let's give our reactive skin some extra pampering. After all, it's especially sensitive and deserves all our attention. Cosmic Night is a specific anti-acne serum to be used at night, working wonders for your skin while you sleep. Formulated with essential oils with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and activated charcoal to remove impurities and deeply cleanse, it helps to remove imperfections, dry out pimples, and seal pores, contributing to the overall process of evening out the skin tone.
To correct
Sensitive skin tends to react when we least expect it, which is why it's recommended to always have an ally on hand for critical moments. "Correge" is a concentrated serum with a drying action that works on pimples when we feel they are about to appear, or when they are already active. It helps reduce swelling and redness, and will help to lessen inflammation. A localized treatment, to be applied directly to pimples whenever needed, in a super practical roll-on format that you can always carry in your bag to apply whenever necessary.
Complementary
Our skin reflects what happens inside, and often skin problems, from rosacea to acne, occur because there is an internal imbalance. Super Skin Capsules (with antioxidant medicinal plants that work together to support the skin) and the Pure Beauty blend (with adaptogens to help restore hormonal balance) help treat from the inside out, providing incredible support for more elastic, luminous, and healthy skin, restoring balance and helping to reverse acne.
