Skincare Guide - Blemished Skin
Impure skin – understand the causes & clarify your skin condition
Blemished skin manifests as blackheads, pustules, or pimples and can affect both teenagers and adults. Key factors include increased sebum production, clogged pores, and inflammation. With targeted skincare, you can improve your complexion and prevent recurrences.
How does impure skin develop?
Several factors interact: an excess of sebum, clogged pores, bacterial colonization, and inflammatory processes. Lifestyle and environmental influences also play a role. ( Quellen-Apotheke Bad Salzuflen – Blemished Skin: Causes & Care )
Common influencing factors
- Hormones: Androgens stimulate sebum production, which causes pores to clog more quickly. ( Healthy Association – Acne: Causes & Frequency )
- Diet & Lifestyle: A diet high in fat or sugar, as well as excessive skincare, can worsen the skin's appearance. ( OnlineDoctor – Blemished Skin: Causes )
- Cleansing & Care: Excessive or incorrect cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier and promote blemishes. ( Stern Health – Removing Blackheads: The Right Way )
Skincare strategy for blemished skin
Effective skincare for blemished skin includes three core elements:
- Cleansing: gentle, pH-balanced, ideally morning and evening – without over-stressing the skin.
- Clarification & Treatment: Active ingredients such as salicylic acid (BHA), niacinamide or zinc work against clogged pores, sebum and inflammation.
- Care & Protection: Use light, non-comedogenic textures, daily UV protection, and pay attention to lifestyle factors if necessary (diet, sleep, stress).
When should a dermatologist be consulted?
If the skin changes are severe, scarring is likely, or no improvement occurs over a longer period. ( NetDoktor – Blemished Skin: Causes & Diagnosis )
