True / False: Preconceived notions about imperfections

1/ Oily skin does not need to be moisturised

FALSE.

In fact, it is not because the skin is oily that it does not need hydration and therefore water,

On the contrary (not to be confused with nutrition and therefore fat).

Insufficiently hydrated skin secretes twice as much sebum to compensate for its own dehydration;

Shine, pimples and blackheads then set in as a result of this overproduction.

2/ You should not touch your skin when you have imperfections

TRUE.

We strongly advise against touching our skin/blemishes because this stimulates the sebaceous glands

and therefore encourages the production of sebum, which is responsible for our blemishes.

This can also lead to further inflammation, which can leave scars.

3/ The sun makes pimples disappear

In theory, you could say that it does, but it's not true.

When the skin is exposed to the sun, it dries out and thickens, giving the impression of an "improvement" of the skin.

of an "improvement" in the quality of the skin, but when we stop exposing ourselves to the sun, we observe a rebound effect

with the appearance of pimples, due to an overproduction of sebum.
