What helps against impure skin? The best expert tips for confident skin
Impure skin, pimples and acne, these problems can be quite unpleasant. On the one hand, the inflammation is sometimes quite painful. On the other hand, the impurities disrupt many people's self-image and prevent them from feeling really comfortable in their own skin. Did you recognize yourself in this description? Then you should definitely read on. Here you will find the best tips for clear skin.
Crucial for impure skin: cleansing
A good cleansing routine is one of the most important measures for impure skin. One of the most important causes is excessive sebum production and thus the proliferation of bacteria. By removing dirt, sebum and germs from the skin every morning and evening, you help it get rid of impurities more quickly. You should keep these tips in mind:
- Only use cleansing and care products whose formula is intended for impure skin! They should be moisturizing and contain soothing ingredients, but not clog pores. You can find the right products for your skin condition, for example in our Basic-Clear+-Line.
- Thorough cleaning should still be gentle. Avoid rubbing and rubbing your already irritated skin! Instead, gently apply your cleansing product, spread it carefully over the skin and rinse it off with lukewarm water!
- You can use a peeling two to three times a week to deeply cleanse the skin. However, mechanical peelings are not particularly suitable for impure skin because they can open up pimples and spread germs on the face. Instead, use a mild chemical peel to deep cleanse your skin!
- After cleansing, an alcohol-free, soothing toner helps to neutralize the skin's pH, tighten pores and remove any remaining dirt or makeup. Simply put a little toner on a cotton pad and gently rub it over your face!
- Then treat the skin with a good, moisturizing cream, which should also be intended for impure skin! Here too you will find what you are looking for in the basic Clear+ series.
The best everyday tips for impure skin
In addition to skin cleansing and care, these tips also help so that pimples and blackheads disappear quickly or don't appear in the first place:
Stay away from pimples!
Even if it's difficult: stay away from the pimples and blackheads! If you push on them, you often make them worse. It's better to use anti-inflammatory care products or, if in doubt, go to your beauty salon for a professional cleanse!
In general, get into the habit of touching your face as little as possible! There are always many different microorganisms on our hands that can increase the impurities on the face.
Fresh textiles for a clear complexion
Also pay special attention to hygiene when it comes to textiles that come into contact with your face! For example, change your towel and pillowcase very often!
Be careful with make-up on impure skin
Of course, makeup is a great way to cover up annoying pimples. However, there are a few things to consider here too. Hiding your skin under a thick layer of makeup can clog your pores more easily and prevent your skin from breathing. So pay attention to suitable products here too! Our antiseptic masking paste, for example, can be a great help. You can use it to specifically cover pimples and other inflammations while soothing the skin. In combination with our BB cream for impure skin, your complexion will immediately look much more even.
Healthy nutrition against impurities
Diet doesn't play a role for all people with impure skin, but for some it does. It may be worthwhile to take a closer look at this topic. Above all, make sure you drink enough and eat foods with lots of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids!
Sun protection against impure skin
Sun protection is particularly important for impure skin. The sun can worsen inflammation and slow down the regeneration of acne marks. Additionally, UV radiation is a leading cause of skin damage, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Therefore, use a good sunscreen on your face every day (even in winter and in cloudy weather)!
