Post-summer blemishes: meet routines that actually work

Why do blemishes emerge after summer?

As days get longer, brighter, and sunnier, the skin thickens to protect itself from summer effects: UV rays. Therefore the skin accumulates sebum and dead cells under its stratum corneum. Under this corneum, bacteria flourish and the skin has to produce even more sebum which creates inflammation… Once vacations are over and skin returns to its normal thickness, it’s time for blemishes and microcystins (the ones who impact the texture of your skin) to have a vacation of their own on your face. Adding the stress of getting back to work, and you’re in for a pimple ride…

The fail-proof anti-blemish routine

The basics: double cleansing

In just 60 seconds a day, double cleansing is the ritual that can transform your skin! Yes, because by thoroughly cleansing your skin, you also avoid blemishes, blackheads and uneven skin texture. The ideal duo when you've got pimples? A duo that rids the skin of impurities without drying it out, like Oh My Cream Skincare Make-up Removing Oil and Cleansing Jelly.

The saving exfoliation

Accumulated dead cells are a breeding ground for bacteria and cell regeneration is seriously slowed down... Two or three times a week, after thoroughly cleansing your skin, apply Oh My Cream Skincare Exfoliating Powder, our "perfect complexion" exfoliant par excellence, to refine skin texture and reveal a fresh, radiant complexion.

The soothing alternative in case of sensitive skin

The soothing anti-blemish serum

Zinc to purify, absorb excess sebum and treat shine and imperfections, niacinamide to even out skin tone and arnica to soothe and repair... Oh My Cream Skincare Anti Blemish Serum is the universal solution for reducing imperfections while keeping skin hydrated and the complexion even.

Moisturise lightly

The ideal finishing touch to your back-to-school routine? A light but creamy emulsion to moisturise and plump without clogging, and let your skin breathe, like Oh My Cream Skincare Universal Cream. It's a good moisturising basic with proven effectiveness to nourish, protect and leave skin smooth and soft.

The SOS anti-blemish mask

Sunday Riley Saturn Sulfur Spot Treatment Mask is a life-saving treatment that quickly purifies and clarifies while helping reduce the redness and size of blemishes until they disappear! But for an SOS action and clear skin upon waking up, apply it as a patch to the blemish and leave it on overnight.

The "beautiful skin" complement

As an intensive treatment, Combeau L'Essentiel Peau targets all skin problems, particularly imperfections, thanks to its 7 exceptional active ingredients, which are precisely dosed and combined.

The concealing duo to make blemishes disappear

Sometimes you need a bit more than 48 hours to see the effects of even the most effective routine. Clean makeup might therefore be the best solution to cover up your blemishes. Our tip to make your pimples go away in just a few brush strokes? Start by applying a few touches of Oh My Cream Skincare Concealer on your blemishes, and leave it on for a few minutes before blending with your finger or with the Angled Foundation Brush. This will allow your makeup to last longer. To unify your complexion, reduce shine and ensure a long-lasting result, apply Oh My Cream Skincare Mineral Powder Foundation SPF20 by dabbing into the zone with your Complexion Brush.
