These are the characteristics of blemished skin

Impure skin can easily be recognised by its oily, shiny, large-pored and rather poorly perfused skin. The complexion appears irregular and can have blackheads and pimples. Blemished skin shows an annoying cycle: the increased sebum production can clog the (already enlarged) skin pores and thus cause increased bacterial growth. These ultimately cause new impurities - and the cycle starts all over again ... What used to be considered almost exclusively a typical teenage problem has unfortunately been widespread for some years now beyond the age of 30: More and more adults suffer from so-called "late acne" ". Possible causes include hormonal changes (e.g. through various contraceptives, pregnancies, births, menopause, etc.).

In order to break this cycle, the right, not too aggressive care is crucial for blemished skin. Because often incorrect, very drying or - in contrast - intensive care leads to further clogging of the pores, which can cause new impurities. Your skin care cream should contain little fat, because this can unnecessarily close and stress your already enlarged pores. Skin needs to be able to breathe and therefore loves light moisturising care products that simultaneously ensure a clear, even complexion and refined pores without irritating your skin.

Here you can find out what you might look for in your daily care routine.

The right facial care for blemished skin

The combination of clarifying and moisturising products is particularly effective for a care routine for blemished skin or acne. Therefore, a water-based moisturising fluid or a gel with a light texture that does not unnecessarily close the skin pores is ideal for this skin type. Ingredients that provide intensive moisture and have a pore-refining effect are the best care partners for blemished and oily skin. To prevent new impurities and blackheads, you can pamper your skin once a week with a skin-clarifying mask. Fine peeling masks, which give your skin a smooth and supple feeling of care, as well as comfortable sheet masks that are simply placed on the face are suitable for this. While you rest.

For your daily "washing program" we recommend thoroughly cleansing, oil-free products that remove excess sebum, dirt and make-up residues from your skin without irritating it. What is particularly important here? The regularity. In particular, you should cleanse oily skin twice a day. This works best with mild facial cleansers that do not remove too much oil from your skin or put unnecessary strain on it - otherwise its delicate balance will be even more upset. The ideal cleansing product for blemished skin is a refreshing cleansing gel that cleanses thoroughly and gives it a pleasant freshness at the same time. In the second step, a facial tonic clarifies your skin intensively and prepares it optimally for the next care steps.  

Gentle rubbing

Once or twice a week, your skin looks forward to a gentle, clearing peeling. However, for the sake of your skin and of course the environment, you should use a product that does not contain microplastics. A natural alternative is peelings with jojoba peeling grains, which cleanse your skin down to the pores and gently remove dead skin cells. Please note: Especially if you suffer from pimples and acne, you should not rub the fine peeling grains too much on your skin. A lot does not always help a lot: In order not to irritate your skin even more, you should not use the peeling too often and under no circumstances every day.

Intensive treatment for the night

Say “good night” to individual, unwanted pimples and redness! Antibacterial and cooling natural ingredients can ensure that pimples subside faster and the development of new impurities is prevented. Our insider tip for you: Apply the lavera anti-pimple gel to the affected areas in the evening and leave it on overnight. This means that the natural formulation with high-quality plant ingredients has enough time to act directly on the acute area and soothe your skin.

In the morning:

• Cleanse the skin with a cleansing gel or foam that has an antibacterial and pore-refining effect
