Why does my skin have imperfections?
Blemishes can affect anyone, whether occasionally or regularly, and can have a variety of causes. Hormonal imbalances, excess sebum produced by the sebaceous glands, stress, fatigue, poor diet, unsuitable cosmetics, pollution... there are many factors to put on the list of those responsible.
The sun is also an aggravating factor, partly responsible for the appearance of certain imperfections. In fact, after regular exposure to the sun, skin often appears more beautiful and clearer. On vacation in the sun, acne and imperfections don't seem to be part of the trip. Pimples and blackheads are replaced by a lovely, golden tan. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, the sun works wonders on oily, acne-prone skin. Unfortunately, when you return from vacation, your skin returns to its normal state, or worse, its condition deteriorates. This is known as the "rebound effect ".
To avoid it and take care of your skin, it's essential to apply a sun care product to protect the epidermis from the damaging effects of UV rays. To choose the right SPF for your sunscreen, take into account the level of sunlight and your skin tone. Whether it's a lotion, oil, milk, spray or sun cream stick, this is your best ally in limiting imperfections after your vacations.
What is the rebound effect?
For acne sufferers, the rebound effect is well known. To understand the rebound effect, it's essential to understand the effect of the sun on the skin. On vacation, your skin greatly appreciates the anti-inflammatory effect of the sun's UV rays. When skin is exposed to UV rays , it becomes thicker. Sebum is blocked, and the skin is drier, preventing pimples from breaking out. Once back from vacation, the skin regains its normal thickness. Our skin renews itself in cycles of around 28 days. Superficial cells colored by melanin give way to new ones.Excess sebum is released, and acne returns with a vengeance. Pimples, oily skin, blackheads... facial imperfections don't just reappear, they come back in greater numbers.
What are facial imperfections?
All skin types can be confronted with different types of imperfections at one time or another. Even if they are very common during adolescence, blemishes can also appear on the skin in adulthood. When we think of skin problems, acne is the first thing that comes to mind. But there are other types of imperfections that can give you a hard time. Blackheads, comedones and micro-cysts are not uncommon after the vacations, but are also common all year round. Scars, enlarged pores, shiny skin, pigmentation spots and pimples can develop in any season. Fortunately, there are several solutions that can help you avoid the rebound effect and improve the beauty, radiance and purity of your skin.
How to treat facial imperfections?
A good beauty routine can help combat the appearance of pimples. Meticulous hygiene, complemented by the application of facial care products adapted to the skin's imperfections, can be enough to attenuate them, and limit the rebound effect when you return from vacation.
