At the end of summer, we always display a flawless and luminous complexion. The tan having created a nice golden tan on the skin, pimples, dark spots and imperfections seem to have disappeared and the glow is present as soon as you wake up. However, during the month of September, we often notice that the imperfections that have disappeared come back in force… and we sometimes have the impression that the state of the skin is finally as it was before the summer period.
But then why is our skin so prone to imperfections in September? It’s simply the backlash! After exposing your skin to the sun, sand, chlorine and after relying on sunscreen and SPF care for about a quarter, you have at the same time certainly skipped scrubs and masks thinking that the skin needed to be less cleansed and pampered. The epidermis has therefore accumulated a good quantity of dead cells and bacteria. As a result, after being radiant, the skin reacts and the excess sebum causes the appearance of new pimples and/or blackheads. To limit the damage, here are the best treatments to try this month.
