This phenomenon has a name: the maskne! So how to fight against this "culture broth" and find a soothed skin?

1 - Every evening, it is imperative clean your skin well and remove all traces of makeup and impurities accumulated during the day. Use a duo of Silky Oil and Purifying Protective Bubble, which gently cleanse and detoxify.

2 - Then on the rinsed and clean skin, apply with a cotton the Night Dew which will deeply unclog the pores and rebalance the skin flora. Do not rinse.

3 - In the morning, before makeup, treat the areas of pimples with the night dew before applying a moisturizer.
