Oily Skin

If your skin is shiny, greasy and thick, and generally features large, open and clogged pores throughout your face, and can also frequently experience blackheads, you most likely have an oily skin.

What are the causes of oily skin?

An oily skin overproduces oil and sebum. A skin type is usually genetic but it can also be due to external factors such as unsuitable products for your skin, hormones, humidity, stress or a diet. Luckily, an oily skin type will help you stay youthful for longer because your natural oils act like a protection to fine lines and wrinkles.

What should be your routine?

The best routine to have for an oily skin type should aim to regulate the production of sebum, responsible of blackheads and co. To remove excess oil and eliminate large pores without stripping the skin, you need to clean your face every morning and evening and only use natural, alcohol-free products that increase the production of sebum.

Care

Night

Sérum Perfection and Sérum Hydratation Intense or Sérum Longévité

3 aqueous serums with very complementary effects.

Sérum Perfection (Anti-blemish Serum)
This serum is made from a combination of Bakuchiol and Retinol. The association of the two molecules has the power to regenerate cells without causing irritations.
The Anti-blemish Serum reduces imperfections while tightening skin texture and soothing inflammation.

Next is Sérum Hydration Intense (Intense Hydration Serum)
Oily, blemish-prone skin needs hydration just as much as any other skin type. The lipid barrier must be protected and strengthened to allow the skin to regulate itself properly. This serum offers you the ideal combination for a well hydrated, plumped-up skin.

Or

Sérum Longévité (Long Life Serum)
The Long Life Serum helps dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores while hydrating, brightening and soothing skin inflammation.

Sérum Perfection and Crème Prodigieuse or Crème Éternelle

For those who like to put on creams in the evening, you can use the Sérum Perfection (Anti-blemish Serum) followed by Crème Prodigieuse (Prodigious Cream). Royal Jelly helps the skin to fight acne, and to also better heal after an injury.

Or

Crème Éternelle (Eternity Cream): Centella Asiatica stimulates collagen synthesis, which makes the skin firm and vigorous. On the other hand, Jojoba oil regulates sebum secretions and rebalances the skin.

Masque Éternel

(Mask of Eternity) which is based on Centella Asiatica. It is a radiance-boosting mask that suits all types of skins. Use 2 to 3 times per week.

Morning

Sérum Perfection, Sérum Radieux and Crème Jeunesse or Émulsion Active

The combination of Sérum Perfection (Anti-Blemish Serum), Sérum Radieux (Radiant Serum) and the Crème Jeunesse (Forever Young Cream) or the Emulsion Active (Active Lotion) optimizes the anti-inflammatory effect and reduces dilated pores.

Sérum Perfection (Anti-blemish Serum)
This serum is made from a combination of Bakuchiol and Retinol. The association of the two molecules has the power to regenerate cells without causing irritations. The Anti-blemish Serum reduces imperfections and large pores while tightening skin texture and soothing inflammation.

Then the Sérum Radieux (Radiant Serum)
UV rays damage skin cells, which no longer work as well as they should. This disrupts the functioning of the pores. It will hence be more difficult for them to evacuate the sebum, which will cause dilation. This serum will neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals and protect the skin against oxidative stress.

Next comes the Crème Jeunesse (The Forever Young Cream) which is made from Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to Retinol. This cream will reduce wrinkles, brighten complexion, treat acne and make the skin flexible and hydrated.

Or
The Emulsion Active (Active Lotion)

It invigorates and purifies the skin and brightens the complexion thanks to cedar wood and palmarosa essential oils. It also regulates sebum and removes minor skin imperfections thanks to jojoba and Nigella sativa oils.

Eye Care Routine

Hyalo C Yeux Velours and Regard Prodigieux

The powerful duo of Hyalo C Velours (Hyalo C Velvet Eyes Serum), made out of a synergic combination of three powerful antioxidants Vitamins C and E and coenzyme Q10, in addition to the Regard Prodigieux cream (Prodigious Look), which contains Royal Jelly and Hyaluronic acid, targets visible signs of aging such as crows’ feet. The combination of these two products intensely smoothens and improves the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.
