How to get rid of acne and its effects? | The right skin care for acne and impurities
One of the most common skin care questions is: How can I reduce pimples, acne-prone skin and properly care for blemished skin? The answer is simple: With the right care routine and suitable cosmetic products. This consists of a thorough cleaning and a subsequent care with clarifying and moisturizing active ingredients. Here you can find out exactly what you should consider and which products will help you.
THE RIGHT CLEANSING FOR BLEMISHED AND ACNE-PRONE SKIN
For impure and acne-prone skin, it is important to remove excess sebum and other deposits in the morning and evening, otherwise the pores will clog and form a breeding ground for bacteria. This allows your skin to regenerate better and counteracts the risk of new impurities. It is advisable to clean oily, impure and acne-prone skin both in the morning and in the evening.It is best to cleanse oily, unclean, and acne-prone skin in the morning and evening.
Morning facial cleansing: At night, not only is the skin's cell regeneration and cell renewal in full swing, but so is sebum production, especially if you have oily skin. As a result, more sebum and dead skin cells gather on the skin's surface, clogging the pores and creating the ideal environment for acne-prone skin.
Evening facial cleansing: Evening facial cleansing is critical for the skin. During the day, not only sebum, but also dirt, sweat, and make-up are accumulated in the pores, allowing for the formation of new impurities and pimples. Furthermore, excessive deposits not only reduce the efficiency of care components, but also inhibit skin regeneration and renewal, which indirectly causes premature skin aging.
CLEANSE BLEMISHED AND ACNE-PRONE SKIN
A thorough but gentle cleansing consists of three to four steps to completely remove excess sebum and other deposits from the skin and prepare it for subsequent care.
- Micellar water: Use the EFFACLAR micellar water with relaxing thermal water as a form of pre-cleansing ("pre-cleansing"). The highlight: micelles may dissolve both oily and water-based substances, as well as obstinate dirt, without disrupting the skin's protective barrier's precise balance. Simply wipe the face with a cotton pad soaked in micellar water. Although micellar water does not need to be washed away, it is especially suggested for unclean, acne-prone skin.
- Cleansing cream or gel: At the second cleansing stage, massage the EFFACLAR foaming cleansing gel for oily and impure skin on previously soaked facial skin for about 20-30 seconds, focusing on the T-zone and any depressions in which sebum can form. After that, wash your face with lukewarm, not hot, water and let it dry with a soft towel - always make sure it is clean and not a bath towel for your body. If the skin is impure as a result of corneal acne treatment but also very dry and irritated, the EFFACLAR H ISO-BIOME moisturizing cleansing cream can be used as a soothing cleanser. While shea butter, glycerin, and probiotics keep skin hydrated and microbiome balanced, Orellana extract and niacinamide prevent blemishes.
- Exfoliation: Use EFFACLAR Micro-Peeling Cleansing Gel instead of a regular facial cleanser once or twice a week to not only wash but also remove dead scales from the top layer of your skin. The chemical exfoliating components salicylic acid (BHA) and lipohydroxy acid (LHA) create a peeling effect, while zinc inhibits the growth of sebum.
- Moreover, the relaxing face mask can be used as an intensive care for unclean skin to deeply clean pores. The mask, when used once or twice a week, can produce a more even, radiant complexion. Apply the mask to your face, wait for it to dry, then rinse with warm water.
THE RIGHT SKIN CARE FOR ACNE AND BLEMISHED SKIN
CARE FOR BLEMISHED AND ACNE-PRONE SKIN
THE BEST ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR ACNE
- Salicylic acid (BHA): is one of the most commonly used active substances in the treatment of acne and blemishes. The exfoliating forces release keratinization of the top layer of the skin, allowing fat to flow more easily. On the other hand, lipiphilic acid (lipophic acid) can bind sebum and remove it from pores, making the skin look cleaner and finer overall. Salicylic acid is also present in the effaclar serum. It provides intensive complementary care for deformed and acne-prone skin when combined with two other exfoliating acids and niacinamide.
- Niacinamide: The chemical niacinamide has a number of anti-acne and anti-blemishes properties. On the one hand, it soothes the epidermis and strengthens the protective barrier of the epidermis, preventing pathogens from entering and vital moisture from escaping. On the other hand, it cleans sebum pores and deposits and regulates sebum production. Niacinamide inhibits microinflammation in the skin, which can produce pigment disorders such as pimples, thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects.
- Retinol: Another common active ingredient in the treatment of acne-prone skin is retinol. Its effect can help remove dead skin cells and cleanse congested pores. Retinol also promotes cell regeneration, which helps reduce pimples and acne scars. Since retinol temporarily increases the skin's sensitivity to light, care containing retinol should only be used at night, and the skin during the day should be protected with an adequate sun protection factor, such as EFFACLAR Duo (+) SPF 30, which controls the spread of bacteria, reduces redness and blemishes while protecting against UV rays.
- Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF): The term "NMF" refers to natural moisturizing factors that provide moisture and balance in a healthy protective barrier to the skin. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid are examples of NMF. Both may bind huge amounts of water, keeping the skin hydrated. When the skin lacks moisture, the sebaceous glands produce more fat to compensate and prevent dryness, causing the skin to become more oily and dirty. Sebum production can be normalized and improved by providing sufficient moisture.
