Makeup is not the enemy, and skin changes as it ages! There are so many myths at play when it comes to taking care of your skin, so when those pesky blemishes arrive where do you turn? Sometimes it’s good to turn to the experts for help, so we’ve paired up with skincare experts VICHY to help you tackle those tough blemishes in a way that’s kind to the skin you’re in…

Do: Get your skin diagnosed. Speak to a pharmacy expert who can give you guidelines on the best products for your skin.

Do: Remember that skin changes as it ages. Your skin can change during your lifetime due to many different factors, so regular checkups are important.

Do: Change your makeup. The same bottle of foundation may not work all year round, so avail of skin prepping and shade matching services at pharmacies around the country and make sure you have the right product for you. Normaderm Teint, for example, a purifying foundation in a fresh and ultra-light texture designed for imperfection prone skin. With SPF20, and Zincadone A to minimise imperfections and high-hold technology, complexion is evened-out, fresh and matte. Also, the formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't block your pores.

 

Don’t: Forget your star treatments. Spots can still happen from time to time, so a targeted, fast-acting blemish treatment like Vichy Hyaluspot is the perfect product to carry in your beauty bag at all times, just in case. 

Don’t: Scrub it up. If the skin is going through a break out, avoid exfoliating that area as you could break the head of the infection and spread the spot. When you are washing always ensure it is with tepid water and not hot, as hot water will over-stimulate the skin.

Don’t: Touch your face with dirty hands. Remember that traces of everything you touched during the day remain on your hands, so avoid touching your face too much and remember to wash your hands thoroughly before using your hands to cleanse your face. Believe it or not a mobile phone contains on average 25,000 germs per cm2... a scary thought!
