How to get rid of blackheads?

Pores are small holes located on the surface of the epidermis that allow our skin to communicate with the outside world. This is how our body eliminates perspiration and dead cells. These almost imperceptible pores can sometimes be dilated and trap a mixture of sebum, dead skin, and impurities. It is the oxidation of this substance upon contact with air that gives these comedones their blackened surface appearance. Particularly visible on the nose, upper cheeks, and forehead, blackheads can be reduced by adopting a suitable skincare routine. Discover the beauty routine recommended by our experts to gently eliminate blackheads.

Moisturize your skin daily

While it can be difficult to find the right routine, all skin types need hydration, regardless of your skin concerns. It's important to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer and avoid, for example, mineral oils used in many cosmetic products to give them a silky finish. Unfortunately, some products tend to clog pores and encourage the formation of blackheads and pimples by trapping sebum and impurities.

Our recommendation: Apply the Blackhead Solution locally to the T-zone, then the Grey Paste Moisturizing Mattifying Emulsion to the entire face. This non-comedogenic fluid moisturizer is enriched with probiotics, glycolic acid, and lactic acid. Use morning and evening to rebalance the skin while regulating sebum production thanks to its mattifying effect.

Finding makeup suitable for blemished skin

If your skin is prone to imperfections, it's important to choose your skincare routine wisely, but also to choose the right makeup. Indeed, the mineral oils in some foundations can clog pores and cause the appearance of blackheads and small pimples, so it's essential to find products suited to your skin type. Opt for fluid, non-comedogenic textures or makeup formulated specifically to meet the needs of blemish-prone skin.

Our recommendation: Halfway between a foundation fluid and a treatment, the Perfecting Tinted CC Cream from the Pâte Grise range conceals small imperfections and corrects the complexion while mattifying the skin. The plus? Its SPF30 protection protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun on a daily basis. and treats and prevents rebound effect.

Double cleansing to avoid blackheads

When pores are enlarged, they tend to store sebum, impurities, and everything else you apply to your skin every day. To reduce blackheads and prevent inflammation, we recommend double cleansing daily. Start by removing your makeup with a gentle makeup remover tailored to your needs, and then use a cleanser to complete the removal process.

Our recommendation: The Micellar Cleansing Milk with its velvety texture to remove makeup and dissolve pollution particles, then the Purifying Foaming Cleansing Jelly with vegetable charcoal microbeads to unclog pores, cleanse the skin and remove dead cells. Apply a small amount of product to damp skin and make circular movements on the face to boost exfoliation.
