OUR TIPS FOR BLEMISHED SKIN

  • Cleanse mindfully and regularly

    Blemished skin is caused by excessive sebum production, which clogs the pores and causes pimples to appear. Therefore, daily cleansing with mild skin care products is an important part of improving your skin's appearance in the long term. This allows your skin to regenerate overnight.

  • Be patient with your skin

    Even if it's hard, you should always leave pimples alone so they can heal. Trying to pop them can further aggravate the inflammation of the skin, causing pain. Popping a pimple also increases the risk of scarring.

  • Avoid touching your skin unnecessarily

    Open pores and existing inflammations are an ideal gateway for dirt and bacteria. In order not to aggravate the condition of your skin, avoid touching your face with your hands. If you can't avoid touching, wash your hands thoroughly with soap first.

Find your routine – how to care for blemished skin

In the course of life, everyone has to deal with the effects of blemished skin. This is often due to genetic predispositions, but external influences such as your diet can also promote blemished skin. But there's no need to panic. Blemished skin is a temporary state and can be managed well with the right care. It is important to give the skin time to regenerate and to continually improve the skin's appearance with gentle care products. Aggressive products containing alcohol or other drying ingredients damage the skin in the long term and should be avoided.
