– GUEST POST // Johanna from Westwing –
Impure skin is caused by excess sebum, but primarily also by dirt and bacteria. This is because the skin's own sebum alone is not the problem. When this sebum clogs the pores, dirt and bacteria cause skin inflammation to develop. The goal is, therefore, to regulate sebum production and to keep pores free of inflammation-causing bacterial foci.
The routine for oily skin types focuses primarily on cleansing the skin and on balancing, sebum-regulating products. Aggressive products that dry out the skin usually only lead to unnecessary irritation and not to the desired result.
The steps remain the same for this skin type: cleanse and clarify, then nourish and finally protect.
Skincare for impure skin: I WANT YOU NAKED
I Want You Naked convinces with various appealing principles. On the one hand, the products are handcrafted and the formulations are developed in their own laboratory. On the other hand, they place great importance on sustainability – refillers or return & recycle options as well as glass instead of plastic make the cosmetics a little greener.
Face soap 'Peace for Your Skin'
Exactly what stressed, irritated, impure skin needs: Peace. The natural ingredients and active substances of the soap make it particularly well-tolerated. For example, mineral-rich sea salt deeply cleanses pores and has an antiseptic effect, while shea butter inhibits inflammation and stimulates skin regeneration.
Face Toner 'The Elixir'
The perfect clarifying combination for oily skin: The Elixir is as refreshing as a face mist and as effective as a serum. The toner can simply be sprayed on, supports impure skin in regeneration and activates cell renewal. After that, the skin is optimally prepared for care.
Care set 'The Beauty & the Beast'
The Beauty and the Beast is an unbeatable duo against pimples. Moisturizer and Hyaluron Boost Serum are optimally coordinated to regulate sebum-rich skin and still provide it with sufficient moisture.
Because yes, even impure skin needs moisture. Organic hemp seed oil has the task of supporting cell renewal so that pimples and inflammations regenerate faster.
The Beast combines the effects of hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and hemp in a highly concentrated form. The skin is repaired, plumped, and smoothed.
Face oil 'The Lovely'
Don't worry, oily skin types don't have to shy away from face oils. What impure skin needs are light oils that are absorbed quickly and deeply into the skin. Organic hemp seed oil and poppy seed oil boost cell regeneration, soothe inflammation and impurities. Essential fatty acids support the skin's own regeneration and help regulate sebum production.
Johanna's conclusion:
- I have combination skin that tends to be dry in winter
- Around my cycle, I tend to have slight blemishes in the chin area, on the jawline, and at the base of my neck
- The solid soap convinced me by not foaming too much and not drying out the skin
- My favorite was the FACE MIST due to the pleasant skin feeling – soft and smooth
- Serum and day cream proved to be the ultimate power duo for me in combination
- My skin problems regenerated faster, and my skin became healthier and easier to manage
