When faced with blemishes, it can be tempting to use very aggressive treatments to make them disappear quickly. However, fragile skin often reacts more and scars more easily—especially in black, dark, and mixed-race skin tones.
Adapt the approach to the type of blemish
🔴 Hormonal or stress-related blemishes
These benefit from a soothing and regular routine rather than aggressive, sporadic active ingredients. Consistency is key.
⚫ Blackheads and excess sebum
These are best managed with a gentle but regular cleansing routine. Avoid overly abrasive scrubs that irritate the skin.
🔵 Inflammatory blemishes and microcysts
These primarily require patience and avoiding any manipulation. Touching them worsens inflammation and promotes scarring.
Actions to avoid
- Picking or frequently touching blemishes
- Using too many drying active ingredients
- Changing your routine too often
These actions weaken the skin and promote the appearance of residual marks.
Actions to prioritize
- Gentle cleansing morning and evening
- Hydration adapted to your skin
- Consistency in your routine
- Sufficient sleep and a balanced diet
