Problem skin: how to regain radiant, flawless skin

Problematic skin can cause imperfections such as pimples, blackheads, uneven skin tone, and shine. The causes of these skin problems can be multiple. To effectively care for your skin, you need to understand its needs and adopt the ideal routine.

Discover the characteristics and causes of problem skin, and our solutions for taking care of it from the inside out with plant-based food supplements known for making skin smooth and more beautiful.

What is problem skin? Understanding your skin's needs

Problem skin presents visible irregularities on the surface such as enlarged pores, blackheads, or even pimples. These imperfections can occur at any age and on all skin types.

The causes can be various:

  • External: overexposure to the sun, pollution, use of unsuitable products, etc.
  • Internal: hormonal problems, stress, lack of sleep, genetics…

All these factors, whether internal or external, affect the skin and can cause imperfections due to thickening of the epidermis (hyperkeratinization), excessive production of sebum (hyperseborrhea) or even the multiplication of bacteria (propionibacterium acnes).

Why does my skin have blemishes? Understanding the main causes

The skin is an organ in its own right that acts as a protective covering for the body. It is therefore exposed to many external and internal factors that can alter it and cause imperfections.

The main causes of problem skin:

  • Lifestyle: Diet, stress, and environment directly impact skin quality. When it feels attacked, the skin defends itself and produces more sebum, which can cause spots and shine.
  • Skincare routine: It's important to understand your skin type and needs in order to use the right products. Otherwise, your skin may react poorly, which can lead to blemishes.

What is problem skin? Signs to look out for

Problematic skin can present with redness, blemish-prone areas such as pimples, blackheads, and shine. It can even be painful if cysts or inflammatory pimples form.

When skin is unbalanced, it can experience tightness, allergic reactions, or even tingling sensations. These symptoms are caused by a lack of good bacteria (microbiota) present on the skin's surface, ensuring a barrier function.

Natural solutions to reduce skin problems

To effectively reduce skin problems, it's important to choose a gentle and tailored skincare routine using natural products. Natural active ingredients and actives are effective at maintaining balanced skin without being too harsh to maintain an intact protective barrier.

The Importance of Hydration for Problem Skin

Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy, smooth, and plump skin. To limit excess sebum while preventing dryness, problem skin needs lightweight moisturizers.

The benefits of certain plant-based active ingredients for problem skin

Problematic skin can be treated with many natural ingredients, which have proven benefits for the balance and beauty of the epidermis:

  • Rosemary hydrosol: used as a lotion, it gently balances problem skin thanks to its astringent and purifying properties.
  • Hazelnut vegetable oil: It is effective for blemish-prone skin thanks to its unsaturated fatty acid content and its purifying and softening properties. It tightens pores and protects the skin from external aggressions.
  • Zinc: It regulates hormonal activity, reduces inflammation and helps keep skin healthy and smooth.
  • Burdock: it reduces skin problems and regulates sebum production thanks to its purifying action.

Our tips for an effective routine for problem skin

Establishing a complete skincare routine is essential to maintaining clear skin. The three essential steps are:

  • Cleansing: to remove all makeup particles, but also pollution, sebum, dead skin or dust that accumulates on the skin.
  • Hydration: to maintain plump, fresh and radiant skin.
  • Protection: to help the skin fight against the various external aggressions encountered throughout the day (sun, pollution, etc.).

A simple routine is all it takes. There's no point using too many products, as this can backfire, altering the protective hydrolipidic film and forcing the skin to defend itself by creating more sebum. Diet and hydration also play an important role in skin beauty. Drink enough water to help eliminate toxins, and avoid eating too much fat or sugar.
