These imperfections that haunt our nights...
Nelie: "After a good night's sleep, you get up and head to the bathroom: you look at yourself in the mirror like we all do and Oh! Surprise! Your face is a symphony of imperfections, punctuated by The C of Acne, The D of Comedones, The Mi of Blackheads, The Fa of White Dots, The Soil of Spots and so on...
You make a war cry but no one can hear you because in front of your imperfections you are alone in the world! The black skin is beautiful especially if it is well maintained but the black skin marks quickly and that is our problem.
A pimple, acne, blackheads, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, sebum, oily skin, etc. The list goes on! At what point are we going to pause at all these imperfections... Where do they come from? How to fight them?
Many factors are at the root of our imperfections
- Hormonal factor: in adolescents (and sometimes in adults) hormones are partying, and are mostly responsible for the presence of their acne, pimples more or less large and unsightly.
- Stress factor: adults can also have acne; due to certain upheavals in their lives.
- Hyperpigmentation : because of the presence of melanin, our skin may lack uniformity, some areas may be lighter than others, or tend to be dull. The cause: dead cells are highly concentrated in melanocytes and accumulate on the surface of our skin. For this, it is necessary to exfoliate your skin 2 times a week.
- Voluntary depigmentation: Black women who depigment their skin are looking for a very clear complexion and do not realize how much they destroy their epidermis. This then generates many imperfections, buttons, stains, dark circles, ect ....
Imperfections and our morale
All this affects everyday life: "I don't leave my house anymore", "I find myself ugly", "I put tons of make-up on my face to hide all these imperfections", etc. These are messages that I receive in private, women of all age groups who come to lose all self-esteem and who devalue themselves. In short, women who are bad in their bodies.
What are the right gestures for a skin without imperfections?
* Adopt a beauty routine that I call NHT: Cleanse, Moisturize, Treat
* A good facial cleansing foam will allow you to get rid of all impurities
* A lotion is used with a square of cotton, in order to cleanse your skin thoroughly. It's important to get rid of too much sebum that clogs your pores.
* A cream against your imperfections, and mattifying in addition to fight against shine during the day
* It would be interesting to target your imperfections by locally putting a suitable gel
* Remember to exfoliate your skin 2 times a week to remove dead cells that cause your skin's lack of radiance
* Do not forget your sunscreen during the day
What are the mistakes to avoid when you have pimples and blackheads ?
* Avoid crushing your buttons, never pierce them. This can increase the risk of infections and scarring.
* Your face towel should be different from the body's, and you will need to change it weekly.
* Wash your hands before each of your treatments.
* Beware of comedones. I recommend not to touch it but rather to do every 3 days a steam bath with essential oils of lavender and Tea Tree lasting 15 minutes (this duration is very important), and then you exfoliate your skin that will gently eliminate your comedones.
* Avoid lotions containing alcohol to read the labels carefully.
* Never use lightening products as this will only make the situation worse.
A skin is maintained daily, with courage, be patient and assiduous: your imperfections will fade over time and will be only bad memories and do not forget " perfection is not of this world "!"
