Adult blemishes: moving beyond harsh routines

Associate softness, observation and use of a professional when the lesions become awkward.

A skin to accompany

It is not just a lack of cleanliness. Washing more and more often or systematically choosing the strongest textures is not an appropriate answer. The priority is to describe the lesions and their impact, without shame and without judgment.

Making follow-up concrete

Note the periods when the buttons appear, the recent products and the areas concerned. Keep a stable routine while you are looking for a review. For makeup, observe what remains comfortable and what easily withdraws. Do not handle a lesion to get a smooth surface before an exit.

  • Report deep, painful or scarring buttons.
  • Bring the list of treatments and care already tried.
  • Avoid promises of complete disappearance in a few days.

An example to adapt to your daily life

If the buttons cause you to cancel an exit, mention this effect in the same way as the pain. An appointment should not be limited to counting the lesions. Keep the references of the care already used and note why they have been stopped: irritation, lack of perceived benefit or difficulty of use. This information avoids resuming an already ill-tolerated trial. It is not necessary to have a very damaged skin to request respectful accompaniment.

The right level of assistance

An acne that affects trust or social life deserves as much attention as a physical discomfort. Treatments exist; their choice belongs to a health professional. Routine advice should not delay this discussion, nor present a dietary supplement or aesthetic device as a treatment.

Useful questions for your next exchange

  • What level of care is suitable for my lesions?
  • How do I reconcile makeup with possible treatment?
  • When to reassess the treatment proposal?
