10 tips and tricks for blemished skin
10 tips for blemished, oily skin!
Pimples, oily skin, and blackheads: Unsightly skin blemishes no longer only affect us during our teenage years. Unfortunately, even when we are well over 20, we still have to contend with blemishes in the T-zone and oily skin areas!
This can be caused by an unhealthy diet (too much sugar or alcohol), our hormones (e.g., when we stop taking the birth control pill), or even our constant companion, the face mask! Dirty makeup brushes, the “wrong” makeup, or not removing makeup properly before going to bed can also cause plenty of pimples!
Here are our 10 tips on what you can do in your daily routine to avoid blemishes, pimples, and blackheads:
x Keep your fingers away from your face – touch your face as little as possible during the day to avoid spreading bacteria unnecessarily – also important: do not squeeze pimples!
x Change your face mask daily and wash cloth masks regularly.
x Regular visits to a beautician will help you to cleanse and care for your skin professionally and get useful tips on how to use products at home!
x Change towels regularly – bacteria can quickly accumulate here over time, clogging your pores and causing blemishes.
x Clean your makeup brushes regularly
x Minimal everyday makeup (tip: BB cream instead of foundation!) allows your skin to breathe and doesn't clog your pores too quickly.
x Remove your makeup thoroughly in the evening before applying skincare products and going to bed. Makeup residue and bacteria also accumulate on your pillow!
x Wash your face in the morning before applying your day cream and makeup.
x After cleansing your face, use a toner—this removes any remaining traces of makeup and cleanser and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and clean.
x Use the right skincare products – Whether ampoules, serums, masks, or creams – the right skincare for blemished skin is essential.
Which facial care products should I use for blemished skin?
Antibacterial products that have a light consistency and are not too greasy. Ampoules are ideal for this purpose, as these small bombs of active ingredients are targeted problem solvers in a glass ampoule. We recommend using these arcaya ampoules:
arcaya Matt2Go ampoules
With tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and fruit acid, it has antibacterial, pore-refining, and anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents flaking of the epidermis, while hyaluronic acid provides deep moisturization without leaving the skin feeling greasy.
arcaya Milk & Honey Ampoules
An antibacterial, cooling, and soothing ampoule with lactic acid, honey, and algae extract. This anti-blemish ampoule naturally combats all symptoms of blemished skin. Its antibacterial and cooling effect provides lasting relief from inflammation!
Extra tip: Apply the ampoule contents only to inflamed areas and pimples and allow to absorb.
Complete your anti-blemish skincare routine with these skincare products:
White Earth Mask and Gray Silver Mask
Both anti-blemish masks have been specially developed for the needs of blemished skin. White Earth Mask is a relaxing, mattifying, and cleansing mask with porcelain clay and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. Gray Silver Mask intensively cleanses the skin with activated charcoal and silver, acting like a dirt magnet!
Clear & Pure Cream and Matt & Pure Serum
Our new Clear & Pure Cream is a special pore-refining anti-blemish cream with microsilver, salicylic acid, freshwater algae, and brown algae! The light texture is non-greasy and provides your skin with the right amount of moisture while mattifying it at the same time.
We recommend Matt & Pure Serum for very oily skin: Apply the serum under your day cream to make large pores virtually invisible, reduce skin shine, and actively combat blackheads and pimples with its antimicrobial properties.
