Back to school often means unsightly little imperfections. Whether they're the result of the rebound effect following summer sun exposure or the return of stress, pollution, and poor diet after the holidays, spots aren't welcome on your pretty face this September. Discover our beauty essentials for a stress-free return to school.
A gentle exfoliation
The formation of a pimple is the result of a triple mechanism: hyperseborrhea (excessive sebum production), hyperkeratinization (thickening of the excretory duct) and inflammation of the sebaceous gland. Gentle exfoliation helps free the skin of all the impurities accumulated on its surface to reduce inflammation, while thinning the skin to allow the sebum to flow properly again and thus moderate the harmful effects of hyperseborrhea.
A concealer with a natural finish
Concealer is perfect for naturally covering up minor imperfections at the start of the school year, but Payot has done better. More than just a concealer, the brand has released a 2-in-1 Anti-Imperfection Pen, a truly targeted daytime treatment that conceals imperfections while helping them disappear. First, its lotion dries out imperfections. Then, the tinted concealer evens out skin tone and corrects redness thanks to its universal shade that adapts to all skin tones.
An express purifying treatment
With our increasingly hectic lifestyles, the demand for effective solutions to simplify daily life is growing. We're seeing a boom in treatments, easy-to-use beauty treatments that are ingested or applied directly to the skin. Highly concentrated in active ingredients, these treatments deliver rapid benefits.
To meet these needs, Payot has created the Renewing Peeling Serum which
• unclogs and reduces the appearance of pores;
• rids the skin of excess sebum and refines its texture;
• intensely purifies the skin and improves its quality.
In just a short week, skin is visibly clearer.
A drop of skin positivism*
It's important to remember that imperfections aren't inevitable. While this temporary skin condition can be difficult to live with, we tend to forget that it affects a large number of women. In the age of social media and filters that offer a fake, doll-like complexion, even and without any roughness, skin problems can cause insecurities. In line with body positivism*, a social movement for the acceptance of all human bodies, skin positivism**, is challenging the dictates of perfect skin. It reminds us that each skin is unique and that it is more essential than ever to reconcile with our image for a more peaceful and light-hearted life. Enough to approach the start of the school year full of confidence and serenity!
