This summer, we're taking a look at natural ingredients that are good for our complexion.
Facial imperfections make life difficult for us. There's no miracle treatment. Every skin type has its own problems. But there are active ingredients found in nature that can significantly reduce these unwanted effects. Here's a look at nature's benefits.
Shale extracts
Born in the Jura Mountains, this purified stone has been immersed in calm, pure water. The skin's number one enemy is excess sebum, the main culprit in the appearance of pimples. To counter this problem, this mountain active ingredient controls the amount of facial sebum. How? This rock eliminates bacteria and activates the maturation of pimples for purified skin.
Talc
Talc is a natural mineral powder. White in color, this active ingredient cleanses and leaves skin flawless. On the face, it absorbs sebum and eliminates shiny skin. A true hydrophobic agent, this powder sponges our skin to purify it of impurities.
Zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is a natural matte pigment. When used in skincare, it effectively combats imperfections thanks to its purifying and antibacterial properties. It's also used in sunscreens because it acts as a true UV filter and protects the skin from external aggressions. A must-have!
Sweet almond
We're all familiar with its delicate fragrance. But we're less familiar with its benefits. Sweet almond has been a staple for soothing inflammation since ancient times. Yes, ladies, we shouldn't forget the pain of a pimple that's just starting to appear. The area should be soothed with an active ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties. Sweet almond quickly relieves pain. Its vitamins E and A repair the skin. Rich in fat, sweet almond moisturizes and soothes irritated areas.
The Original Grey Paste
At PAYOT, these natural ingredients have been combined into a single treatment: La Pâte Grise L'Originale. For over 70 years, the recipe has been passed down from mother to daughter to eliminate small spots. This gray paste is applied every night before going to sleep on perfectly cleansed skin. Using a cotton swab, cover the small spot with a thick layer of this product. This anti-blemish treatment accelerates the maturation of emerging spots. In just a few nights, small spots disappear and facial skin regains its purity.
