Oily/Blemish Prone Sensitive Skin

Puberty and skin problems

Did you know that 95% of boys and 83% of girls have acne?

Acne is one of the first signs of puberty, the set of transformations brought about when the reproductive glands “start up” from suprarenal stimulation (of the ovaries for girls, of the testicles for boys). These glands produce hormones that will “flood” the body. Acne is linked to an exacerbated skin sensitivity, particularly of the sebaceous glands.

Under the effects of hormones called androgens, the sebaceous glands increase in volume, secrete more sebum, the skin becomes shiny, the pores dilate and blackheads and pimples appear.
Once the mechanism of acne is under way, its development can vary greatly; an effective dermatological treatment can bring about a full cure, in several months or years.
But it can also happen that acne persists well after adolescence, in particular among women, mostly on the lower part of the face.
This acne, called “tardy” is in fact relatively common. It more often involves the torso in men.

• Cleanse your skin with gentle products, in a way that doesn’t increase the irritation due to treatment nor stimulate the sebaceous glands
• Moisturize your skin well to compensate for the drying effects of some treatments
• Choose products whose ingredients were specially selected because they are non-comedogenic, that means they don’t cause blackheads

Whether it is cleansing products, skin care, make-up, or sun cream, it’s important to always choose products specially formulated for blemish prone skin (matifying, seboregulating, oil-free).
