Blemish-prone skin

Dr. Hauschka Skin Care for Blemished Skin. We understand your skin.

The skin is a window to the soul. Those who feel at ease exude this inner peace outwardly. But stress and a fast-paced lifestyle can disturb the balance of our skin. The result is often the appearance of pimples and blackheads.

Our skin takes care of itself and renews itself every day as part of its natural capabilities. But when it goes out of balance, Dr. Hauschka skin care can help maintain and restore the skin's natural functions. Precious medicinal plants and the best natural ingredients cleanse, tone and moisturise in a way that mimics the skin's natural processes.

Blemished skin receives harmonising and regulating impulses that help it regain its balance.

The result is skin that is clear, refreshed, and pore-free. And it knows how to keep itself that way.

Unique to Dr. Hauschka.

There are many reasons why Dr. Hauschka is unique. We recommend using face oil for oily skin and do not believe in exfoliants. We deliberately break with tradition with our approach. Because we know what skin out of balance truly needs: support that encourages it to nourish and renew itself from the inside out. Every product in the Dr. Hauschka skin care range is full of valuable medicinal plants, carefully developed compositions, high-quality natural ingredients, and knowledge from scientific research. Wherever possible, all our natural ingredients are sourced from controlled organic or Demeter cultivation under fair trade conditions.

Why do pimples appear?

When the skin is out of balance, the glands under the skin produce more oil than necessary. At the same time, there is increased keratinisation of the excretory duct, which is shared by the hair and sebaceous glands.

This keratinised skin and oil form a plug, known as a blackhead (comedone). If it opens, it oxidises and turns black.

If it remains closed, microbes can multiply and irritate the dermal tissue. First, a red nodule (spot) forms, and then a pustule with a yellow head.

What causes blemished skin?

We accept pimples and blackheads as part of adolescence. But when we reach adulthood, we realise that the end of puberty does not automatically mean the beginning of a clear complexion. One in four women aged 25 to 45 has pimples. This can be the result of a predisposition or an unhealthy lifestyle. But skin problems can also be caused by mental and physical stress, medication, or climate change. They can appear during periods of hormonal imbalance, for example, during pregnancy or menopause.

It's also worth considering your skin care routine. Are you using products suitable for your skin? Products that are not suitable for your skin condition can encourage the appearance of pimples and blackheads.

Individual care for individual needs.

Even blemished skin cannot be categorised as a single "type." Skin is in a constant state of change depending on the day, location, season, and life stage. Dr. Hauschka's concept takes these individual, changing needs into account and addresses all skin conditions. We have developed at-home face and body care routines that are carefully tailored to different skin conditions.

Tips

Entrust your skin to good hands.

Blemished skin often requires patient and professional care. Dr. Hauschka aestheticians know what's good for your skin.

Don't give in to the urge to squeeze your pimples.

Trying to get rid of pimples and blackheads with your hands can worsen inflammation and even lead to scarring. So, even if it's hard to resist: please don't squeeze!

Always remove your make-up.

Make sure you remove your make-up completely before going to bed. Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk and Dr. Hauschka Eye Make-up Remover cleanse the skin of impurities and make-up while gently nourishing it.

Hand towels and pillows.

Use separate towels for your face and for your hands/body. Pillowcases should be changed regularly, as hair product residue often accumulates.

Do not use exfoliants.

Our skin is protected from external influences by the outermost layer of dead cells, called the stratum corneum. An exfoliant can remove this natural and important protective barrier. To compensate for this lack, the skin reacts with overproduction. This means that regular exfoliants and peels can cause the upper layer of the skin to thicken and dry out the skin.

Make-up for blemished skin.

With the right products, applying make-up to blemished skin is not a problem. Start by covering spots and redness with our Concealers. Then you can apply Dr. Hauschka Foundation or Dr. Hauschka Loose Powder. None of these products clog pores. Important: Always use clean, disinfected make-up brushes.

Eat healthily.

Low-fat foods such as fish, vegetables, raw vegetables, and wholemeal bread are not only good for your physical well-being but also for clear skin. Avoid sugar and sweetened drinks as much as possible and try to get plenty of exercise, preferably outdoors.

Our medicinal plant experts recommend.

Rhythmic extracts of medicinal plants are the basis of Dr. Hauschka skin care. They act as stimuli, encouraging the skin's natural abilities exactly when and where it needs support.
