Understanding the factors that contribute to oily skin
Basically, oily skin produces too much sebum. This oily substance is actually a natural protectant for the skin – which needs it to stay supple and healthy. But if there's too much sebum, it can clog pores and cause inflammation on the skin surface. As a result, blemishes appear.
There are several reasons why oily skin overproduces sebum. They include genetic factors, hormonal imbalances (especially during puberty, pregnancy or menopause), and external factors such as diet and stress.
Foods rich in sugar and saturated fats can increase sebum production. Stress, meanwhile, triggers the release of cortisol – a hormone that can increase sebaceous gland activity.
How to choose the right products for oily, blemish-prone skin
To restore balance to oily skin, make sure you avoid harsh skincare products, as these can dry it out. Instead, opt for skincare products that help to control sebum production while keeping your skin well hydrated.
Botanical oils such as jojoba oil or nigella oil are ideal for both balancing and purifying the skin, without clogging pores. There are also natural active ingredients like zinc and propolis, which help to purify the skin while also providing antibacterial action. Neroli and helichrysum hydrosols are known for their healing and soothing properties, while sage and witchhazel extracts can help to reduce blemishes and tone the skin, so that pores are less visible.
These ingredients are just a few examples of what nature can provide to care for oily and blemish-prone skin.
Your ideal skincare routine to get rid of blemishes
A well-structured skincare routine is essential for oily, blemish-prone skin.
- In the evening, begin with double cleansing. Use a micellar water to remove makeup, then a gentle cleansing gel to remove impurities without damaging the skin. And what better product to do this than our best seller, Le Nettoyant Pureté? Our gentle purifying facial cleanser is ideal for combination and oily, blemish-prone skin.
- In the morning, simply use a lightweight toner to refresh your skin without upsetting its balance.
- Follow with a serum such as Le Booster Pureté, which contains natural ingredients (zinc, chaulmoogra oil and arrabidaea chica, also known as crajiru) to treat blemishes.
- Apply a non-comedogenic, light moisturizing cream to keep skin hydrated. A non-greasy, water-based, moisturizing gel could also make a good alternative.
Good to know: blemish-prone skin needs to be gently exfoliated. Once every two weeks, exfoliate with a gentle face scrub, then apply a purifying mask to deeply cleanse your skin. This simple routine will help you to control sebum and prevent blemishes, but also maintain a good water-oil balance.

Anti-blemish facial treatments for oily skin
When it comes to facial care for oily skin, you'll often find products formulated with ingredients that are harsh on the skin – despite the fact that your skin should always be treated as gently as possible! This is why we're so committed to using the very best, natural ingredients, so we can offer skincare products that are truly gentle, and respect both your skin and the planet.
A few tips to help you deal with minor blemishes and oily skin
- Eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of organic fruits and vegetables.
- Drink enough water. Work on the basis of 30 ml per kilo of body weight – and this doesn't include tea, coffee and infusions.
- Reduce stress by practicing relaxation techniques such as cardiac coherence. This can decrease levels of cortisol – the stress hormone that can also increase sebum production.
- Make sure you regularly clean your beauty accessories, such as makeup brushes, sponges and cleansing pads. Don't forget to also change your pillow and face towel on a regular basis.
- Avoid touching your face too often, especially if your hands aren't clean.
3 points to remember:
1- Excess sebum production is usually due to hormonal and environmental factors, and is the main cause of blemishes.
2- Make sure you have a balanced skincare routine, with products that are both gentle and non-comedogenic, to help control sebum in oily skin.
3- Use skincare products formulated with natural and organic ingredients to treat blemishes without damaging the skin.
