Facial imperfections 12 tips to get rid of them

Combination, oily or problem skins often have trouble getting rid ofacne, shine and blackheads in the long term. However, by adopting new beauty habits on a daily basis, you can easily reduce and erase these little skin blemishes. Here are 12 tips and tricks to help you fight blemishes and regain beautiful, healthy, clear skin.

We've certainly told you time and time again: beautiful skin starts with your plate. Limit fatty, sugary foods and industrial preparations, and go for fruits, vegetables and oilseeds, which are far more beneficial to the beauty of your skin than chocolate and cold meats!

We don't necessarily realize it, but we bring our hands up to our face hundreds of times a day, usually by reflex. Avoid touching your face, or make sure your hands are always perfectly clean!

Towels, pillowcases, phone are all objects that come into contact with our skin for varying lengths of time each day, and can cause or accentuate blemishes. Don't hesitate to wash them regularly to reduce the risk of pimples.

It's an obvious piece of advice... but a tempting one to ignore! The risk? Causing inflammation which, instead of solving the problem, makes it worse. Or how to turn a small, discreet pimple into a huge red one! If you want to remove a blackhead properly, use a disinfected blackhead remover.

Not always clean hair sweeping across your forehead, a hat creating friction or perspiration... Pimples on the forehead don't need much more to appear, all the more so if you have oily or combination skin to begin with. Just try to limit friction as much as possible!

You've tried everything to get rid of pimples on your chin, but nothing works? What about face mapping? This Asian technique associates each area of the face with an organ. The chin, for example, is linked to the stomach. An unbalanced diet or digestive problems could be at the root of these skin blemishes. It's a great way to get rid of imperfections!

If redness and blackheads are concentrated on a specific area of your face, such as the chin or sides of the nose, there's no need to treat the whole face. Anti-Imperfection Solution Eclat Boréal Serum is perfect for getting rid of localized pimples. Its dosing pipette dispenses just the right amount of product, so you can apply it very precisely, directly to imperfections for targeted action.

Camouflaging imperfections with a full-coverage foundation, followed by a veil of powder, is a highly effective way of concealing redness and pimples. Be careful, however, as you risk entering a vicious circle: products that are too occlusive will prevent the skin from breathing, clogging pores and encouraging theappearance of new imperfections. Choose light make-up, adapted to your skin type and labelled "non-comedogenic".

Rather than pulling out a brush and make-up during the day to tame shine, think mattifying sheets! Easy to carry, they act like a blotting paper and absorbexcess sebum in a single gesture, without clogging pores.
