Clear skin campaign
Clear, calm and balanced skin
Our skin looks after and renews itself every day as part of its natural abilities, however, when it falls out of step, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care helps to support and restore the skin’s balance. Precious medicinal plants and the very best natural substances cleanse, tone and moisturise in a way that supports your skin’s natural processes.
Skin prone to pimples is given harmonising and regulating impulses to help it rediscover a state of balance.
Uniquely Dr. Hauschka
There are many reasons that Dr. Hauschka is unique. We recommend using a facial oil on oily skin and do not support the idea of scrubs and harsh exfoliants. We purposefully break the mould with our approach. Because we know what unbalanced skin really needs: support that guides your skin to a balanced state. Every product in the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care range is packed with precious medicinal plants in carefully developed compositions, premium-quality natural substances and over 50 years knowledge.
Pimples
When skin is out of balance, the glands in the subcutaneous layer produce more oil than is necessary. At the same time, there is increased cornification of the excretory duct shared by the hair and sebaceous glands.
This cornified skin and oil form a plug known as a blackhead. If it opens, it oxidises and turns black.
If it stays closed, germs can multiply and irritate the tissue of the dermis. First, a red nodule develops (a spot), then a pustule with a white/yellow head.
What causes pimples?
Teenage hormones, and then once we reach adulthood, we realise that the end of puberty does not necessarily mean no more pimples. This can be the result of a genetic predisposition, diet, stress, medication, seasonal changes, hormonal influences such as menstrual cycle, pregnancy, post natal, menopause.
It’s also worth considering your skin care routine. Are you using the right products for your skin at this present point in time? Products that are not suitable for your individual skin condition may encourage the development of blemishes, spots and blackheads. What about your make-up, are you using Foundation or sunblock that doesn’t block your skin’s pores?
Individual care for individual needs
Even skin prone to pimples cannot be pigeonholed as a single ‘skin type’. Skin is in a constant state of change depending on the day, location, environmental elements, season and phase of life. The Dr. Hauschka concept takes these individual, changing needs into account and addresses all skin conditions. We have developed at-home skin care regimes that are carefully tailored to different skin conditions.
TIPS
Place your skin in good hands
Skin prone to pimples often requires patient and professional care. Dr. Hauschka Estheticians know gentle and effective facial treatments designed for an out of balance skin, not only soothes but also addresses stresses.
Resist the urge to squeeze
Trying to get rid of spots and blackheads by hand can result in worsened inflammation and even scarring. So even if it’s difficult to resist: please don’t squeeze!
The minute you see a pimple apply Coverstick, and reapply often.
In the morning
Deep cleansing with Cleansing Cream is always recommended in the morning because during the night time your skin is actively regenerating and eliminating. How often to you wake to a pimple?
Always remove your make-up
Be sure to thoroughly remove your make-up before going to bed. Soothing Cleansing Milk or Cleansing Balm and Eye Make-up Remover cleanse the skin of dirt and make-up while also respecting your skin’s pH. You may wish to do a secondary cleanse with Cleansing Cream for a deeper cleanse in the evening.
Hand towels and pillows
Use separate towels for the face and for the hands/body. Pillow cases should be changed regularly.
Don’t scrub
Our skin is protected from external influences by an outermost layer of dead cells called the stratum corneum. A scrub can remove this natural and important protective barrier. To compensate for this lack, the skin responds with increased cornification.
This means that regular scrubs and peels can cause the upper layer of skin to thicken and for skin to become dry.
Our Cleansing Cream is used in a ‘press and roll’ motion, which forms a suction to deeply cleanse. See application video in the Cleansing Cream link.
Make-up for skin prone to pimples
With the right products, applying make-up to blemished skin is not a problem. Start by covering blemishes and redness with our Coverstick. You can then apply Foundation and/or Loose Powder 00 translucent. Neither of these products clog pores.
Please note: It’s important to always use clean make-up brushes.
Eat a healthy diet
Low-fat foods such as fish, vegetables, raw vegetables and wholemeal bread are not only good for your physical well-being – they are also good for a clear complexion. Avoid sugar and sweetened drinks as much as possible and try to get plenty of exercise, preferably in the fresh air.
Our botanical experts in clear skin
Rhythmitised extracts from medicinal plants are at the core of Dr. Hauschka Skin Care. They act as stimuli, encouraging your skin’s natural abilities precisely when and where it is in need of support.
The weekly skin ritual
We recommended compressing and hydrating your skin in basin water with Clarifying Steam Bath, to soften pores for a deeper cleanse, then immediately apply pre-prepared Clarifying Clay Mask. Remove once dry and no longer active, easiest with a moist Cleansing Sponge. Then apply Revitalising Cream Mask and leave to absorb for as long as possible.
