Blemished skin

Skin prone to imperfections is susceptible to irregularities such as pimples, blackheads, and enlarged pores. In general, it is characterized by an uneven skin texture.

Stress may exacerbate skin imperfections, as it stimulates cortisol production, a hormone that increases sebum secretion and promotes inflammation.

To care for blemish-prone skin, it is recommended to use a purifying cleanser, a gentle exfoliant, a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and avoid picking at pimples. If breakouts persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Makeup can indeed aggravate skin imperfections if it is comedogenic or not properly removed.

Diet may influence the development of skin imperfections, particularly foods high in sugars or saturated fats that can stimulate sebum production and skin inflammation.

Not necessarily. Combination or even normal skin can exhibit imperfections. Excess sebum is common, but other cutaneous imbalances may also be at play.

Yes, adult acne is common, especially in women. It can be linked to hormonal fluctuations or stress. The underlying mechanisms remain essentially the same as those seen in adolescence.

The sun exposure can temporarily dehydrate lesions. However, this effect remains transient, and a rebound effect is frequently observed. It is therefore best to protect your skin from the sun with a sunscreen tailored to your exposure habits and your skin type.

The concept of comedogenicity varies among individuals, and tests are not systematically conducted for all cosmetic products. Moreover, an ingredient that is potentially comedogenic on its own is not necessarily so within a complete formula, where its concentration and interaction with other components play a role. Thus, some treatments not labeled “non-comedogenic” may still be suitable for blemish-prone skin. Overall, it is best to favor lightweight formulations and monitor skin tolerance over time.
