OILY, ACNE-PRONE SKIN
Characteristics of impure skin
- The T-zone is oilier with a tendency to acne
- The skin on the cheeks is dry or normal
Impure skin is a combination of different skin types. The T-zone (chin, forehead, nose) is oily and shiny due to the very active sebaceous glands. This excessive sebum production disrupts the balance in the skin and causes pimples or blackheads to appear. The cheeks are dry to normal and often feel tight or flaky. Although this skin type is the most common, it poses a major challenge for many.
OUR ADVICE
Mild care
An impure skin needs a care that restores the balance and the natural protective layer of the skin. Choose mild, natural care products that hydrate, nourish and restore the moisture balance.
Attention to dry cheeks
Dry cheeks lack lipids. Apply a rich day and night cream daily to minimize moisture loss and nourish and protect the skin 24/24. Rich, moisturizing products restore the skin barrier and prevent irritation.
Take care of the shiny T-zone
Oily areas indicate an overproduction of sebum and can be the result of a lack of nutrients. Use a mild, natural cleansing lotion twice a day to get rid of impurities and bacteria. Use a natural, mild facial scrub on oily areas 3 to 4 times a week. This exfoliant prevents skin calluses and clogging of sebaceous glands.
Avoid aggressive products
A shiny T-zone is annoying and needs special care. Aggressive products damage the real skin even more and can stimulate sebum production in the oilier areas. Avoid irritating and drying ingredients such as alcohol and perfume.
Don't pick pimples
Never pick at acne, as this will create a wound and allow bacteria to easily enter.
Our advice
Good skin care is crucial for treating and preventing acne. However, many anti-acne products focus on drying out the skin, which is a misconception that many people fall into. Synthetic products can deprive the skin of even more nutrients, causing it to enter a vicious circle of malnutrition and causing it to produce even more sebum. Acne-prone skin is often irritated, sensitive and damaged, and therefore requires gentle care.
