Hormonal change:

As we move from being a child to a young adult, our skin can take a big hit! Sometimes it even goes to the dark side of acne-prone skin...

While there is no need to panic, because everything will return to normal when you enter adulthood, the witnesses of these hormonal upheavals are too often very visible and traumatic, which can really affect your self-confidence, at a time when it is not necessarily naturally at its best.

But what is acne-prone skin? 

It is simply a skin that reacts to the influence of hormones, which are totally increased during adolescence. These stimulate the sebaceous glands that are located under the surface of your skin and will lead to an overproduction of sebum. 

Acne then arrives with all its friends: comedones or blackheads for short, impurities, oily skin, tight skin, etc. So many enemies that we don't want to see on our young skin as soon as we wake up. 

But know that it is not inevitable! We explain how to lead this fight against imperfections!

A skincare routine adapted to maintain your skin

In order to fight against imperfections and all other inconveniences, you need to adopt a simple, natural and effective beauty routine, and this, regardless of your skin type or condition: whether your skin is sensitive, shiny or on the contrary tight, you need to take care of it to rebalance it.

1st^​ Step 1 of perfect skin: cleansing

Whether you have problem skin or not, and regardless of age, the cleansing step is essential. This key step must be adopted morning and evening to start an effective routine whether your skin is made up or not.

For what ? 

If you put makeup on your skin to hide imperfections, know that everything you apply to your skin will stay on the surface of the epidermis and will therefore clog the pores where sebum usually comes out. This will cause the pores to become clogged and therefore cause pimples galore.

In the evening, you must first of all remove any makeup residue from your skin so that the treatments you apply immediately afterwards are fully effective.

You don't wear makeup? Don't skip this step because makeup or not, you need to eliminate all the impurities that settle on the surface of the skin: pollution, dead skin, sebum, are all agents that will promote pimples if you don't remove them quickly.

And to save time and combine the two steps, we recommend Misty Jelly which will allow you to remove makeup and cleanse your skin deeply in a single step, even your eyes!

Are you using another cleanser and your skin feels attacked by daily cleansing?

Nothing more normal! In this case, rather than repeating the operation morning and evening, we recommend that you keep the deep cleansing step in the evening, and instead use a lotion in the morning when you wake up. And little by little, when your skin is soothed, you can use our ultra-gentle jelly.

Indeed, if your skin was perfectly cleansed at bedtime, in the morning, you can use our Sunshine Toner to wake it up. And because 2 actions are better than 1, if you apply it using a washable cotton pad, your skin will also be rid of dead skin and impurities from the night. 

2nd^​ step: Act deeply on imperfections

Now that your skin is clean, you can work on imperfections. 

By applying a purifying mask once or twice a week, you ensure that you treat your skin in depth by regulating sebum production and tightening your pores. 

This way, your sebaceous glands will get used to producing less and therefore goodbye to shine and pimples! 

But be careful, regularity is the key to healthy skin, so there's no point in using a mask once in a while when a big pimple appears! You have to apply it every week to get permanent effects! And if between two applications, a surprise guest appears aka THE pimple, don't panic, our Roll on the face (link to the product) will get rid of it in just a few days.

Our Dream Mask (product link) is made for you: thanks to the white clay it contains, it will both absorb sebum and also tighten pores. Try it and adopt it!

^3rd step: HYDRATE – HYDRATE – HYDRATE

We can't say it enough: no matter your skin type, you need to moisturize your skin! It's really the secret to perfect skin!

Look, the human body, whether fat or thin, young or old, male or female, needs water in large quantities and daily. Well, the skin works the same way, it needs hydration and that, every day.

But in the particular case of fragile adolescent skin, you need a cream that both hydrates and mattifies. 

Our Light Cream (product link) has the particularity of regulating the skin in the long term: the more you apply it, the more your skin will regulate its sebum production. 

So you will have 2 types of effects: immediately you will feel your skin much more comfortable, you will have less shine and your makeup will hold better. But you will also have more lasting effects: over the course of applications, and after only a few weeks, you will no longer have shine and if you forget an application, you will see that the effects will still be there (be careful, which should not excuse you from skipping moisturizing every other day!)

There you have it, you have the keys to taking care of your skin, now it's your turn!
