If you have sensitive skin and want to reduce or hide your imperfections, it is important to use products adapted to the sensitivity of your skin, but which remain just as effective. Here are our best tips:
Choose non-irritating active ingredients
Products with natural active ingredients tend to be gentler on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. Some synthetic or harsh ingredients can cause adverse reactions, which can be of particular concern for people with sensitive skin. Thus, you can use products enriched with bakuchiol , a plant-based alternative to retinol which is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It helps reduce imperfections and fades scars. You can also turn to niacinamide which is anti-inflammatory and astringent. It rebalances sebum production and soothes the skin. Finally, lactic acid is a very good ally for sensitive skin with imperfections. Active with strong regenerating properties, it gently exfoliates the skin and boosts cell renewal for an unified skin texture.
This is why we have designed a non-irritating and non-drying serum so that it is also suitable for sensitive skin prone to imperfections. Made up of 95% ingredients of natural origin, our Imperfections Serum eliminates spots, smoothes, mattifies and purifies the skin in just 28 days. It is the ideal product to integrate into your routine to say goodbye to all types of imperfections while keeping your skin soothed.
Deeply moisturize your skin
Deeply hydrating the skin, even when it has imperfections, is essential, especially when using anti-acne treatments which can have drying effects. Indeed, certain treatments such as products based on salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide tend to dry out the skin. Hydration helps maintain the skin's moisture balance, preventing excessive dryness, while calming it against possible irritation. Dehydrated skin can also respond by producing more sebum to compensate for the loss of moisture. This can make acne problems worse by clogging pores and causing pimples to form. By hydrating properly, you can help regulate sebum production. Well-hydrated skin also tends to heal more effectively, minimizing the chances of scarring or residual marks left by blemishes.
When choosing a moisturizer for acne-prone skin, it is important to select products that are non-comedogenic, meaning ones that do not clog pores. Lightweight formulas are often recommended to avoid adding excess oil to the skin. So, you can turn to moisturizing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, jojoba oil or even niacinamide.
We opt for a gentle facial massage
Sensitive skin with imperfections needs great attention when it comes to massaging it. In fact, a poorly performed facial massage can have the effect of accentuating skin irritation and discomfort. Faced with this, our facialists have imagined a massage protocol with a reflexology stylus to work the acupressure points linked to the hormonal and digestive areas of the face. The goal ? Reduce the inflammation causing imperfections. You can find this protocol via the QR code in the packaging of our imperfections serum!
