Facial care

Smooth the skin

Lack of radiance, dilated pores, blurred complexion... When skin texture is irregular, the face tends to look less radiant. For skin with imperfections, a range of facial treatments are available at Maison Lutétia to refine skin texture and promote a radiant complexion.

What do we call irregular skin texture?

An irregular skin texture corresponds to a grainy skin texture, with skin areas that lack homogeneity (redness, dryness, enlarged pores, blackheads, etc.). In this case, even full-coverage makeup cannot smooth the skin! This is the daily life of combination to oily skin, whose overproduction of sebum leads to dilation and then obstruction of pores, with the appearance of blackheads which reinforce the grainy appearance of the skin.

What are the causes of uneven skin texture?

There are several causes for uneven skin texture:

Too much sebum secretion: In the event of hyperseborrhea, the skin displays dilated pores, in which impurities accumulate, thus transforming into comedones. These imperfections have a role in the irregular appearance of skin texture.
An unsuitable beauty routine: All you need to do is use beauty products that are not suited to your skin type for it to react with redness and other skin reactions.
Hormonal problems: During adolescence, during pregnancy with the pregnancy mask, at menopause... Hormonal changes have an impact on the quality of the skin.
A common skin condition, keratosis pilaris: This is a common skin condition that causes small, hard bumps under the skin, giving it a “sandpaper” feel.
External aggressions: Stress, pollution, tobacco consumption, exposure to UV rays... External aggressions can influence the appearance and texture of the skin.

Irregular skin texture, what to do?

In addition to following a beauty routine adapted to the needs of your skin type, treatments can be carried out at Maison Lutétia to improve skin texture.

What products for my skin with imperfections?

To treat grainy skin at home, cleanse it every evening and provide intense hydration. Here are our tips.

To avoid :

Products that are too aggressive for the skin and contain soap or alcohol because they stimulate the activity of the sebaceous glands.
Creams that are too rich and clog pores and are occlusive.
Showers or baths that are too hot which stimulate sebum secretions.

Preferred :

Non-comedogenic products

Comedogenic substances can cause various skin ailments:

Open microcysts also called comedones or blackheads. Their dark color comes from the oxidation of sebum.
Closed microcysts, which develop on the surface of the skin, cause white bumps.
Enlarged pores, when the skin texture becomes visible and the complexion is not uniform.
Acne, which manifests itself as red or white spots.

Using a non-comedogenic treatment means that it limits the appearance of spots and other imperfections. Its texture and composition slow down the appearance of blackheads and do not clog the pores of the skin. Non-comedogenic cosmetics are therefore particularly recommended for skin with imperfections or acne-prone skin.

How to naturally refine your skin texture?

Scrupulous hygiene: Cleanse your face morning and evening with a gentle cleansing milk for the skin.
Scrub/exfoliation to unclog pores: Once a week, carry out a home peel to rid the skin of impurities.
Hydration and nutrition: Moisturize your skin daily with a fine aqueous cream.
Regulate sebum production: To rebalance hyperseborrhoea, use a clay mask once a week.

Are natural methods effective?

Natural methods can be effective occasionally, but they are not necessarily suitable for your skin type. Ask your dermatologist for advice on their use.

Mask based on baking soda and water: Baking soda has a rebalancing and purifying action on combination to oily skin.
Aloe vera mask: This plant is known for its moisturizing and enhancing properties. Aloe vera gel can be applied as a mask to the skin.
