  • WHAT ARE PIMPLES?

    A pimple or spot is a small inflammation of the skin caused by an inflamed sebaceous gland. The white heads of pimples are caused by a build-up of sebum and red bumps are caused by the inflammation. They appear on your back, chin and forehead. Pimples often occur in people with combination or oily skin. In oily skin, the sebaceous glands show increased sebum production and sebum secretion. The skin of your face cannot process this abundance of sebum; the pores of the skin are wide open ( coarse pores ) and they easily become clogged. This is how pimples and blackheads develop.

  • HOW DO PIMPLES OCCUR? WHAT CAUSES THEM?

    There are various causes of pimples. For example, pimples (teenage pimples) often develop during puberty. Under the influence of hormones, the sebaceous glands produce more sebum than normal. Flaking skin cells stick together and this can cause a blockage in the pores. The sebaceous glands continue to produce sebum, which causes a build-up of sebum in the pores. These build-ups then become pimples, spots with white heads or red bumps.

  • WHEN CAN PIMPLES STILL OCCUR?

    During menstruation, you may have more pimples than usual. This is usually the result of the hormonal changes that take place in your body when you are menstruating. This is also sometimes called a breakout. If you sweat a lot, sebum production also increases. This can worsen pimples and acne. During pregnancy, the skin produces more sebum than usual due to the hormonal changes during this period. This can also cause you to suffer more from pimples (hormonal acne) during pregnancy. Furthermore, it has not been scientifically proven whether eating chocolate, poor hygiene and vitamin deficiency cause pimples. We at Julien Deluxe are very happy, especially when it comes to chocolate !

  • SHOULD YOU POP PIMPLES? HOW CAN I REMOVE THEM?

    The answer to this question is short and sweet: no. Even if you want to get rid of that big pimple as soon as possible and the temptation to squeeze it is very big, you better not do this. If you squeeze pimples too hard, you can get scars. Moreover, squeezing a pimple can actually cause a new pimple to develop, because dirt from under your nails, for example, ends up in the wound and a new inflammation occurs in this way.

    What should you do to remove pimples? The best thing is of course to prevent pimples by good facial care with products that are suitable for combination to oily skin . Furthermore, there are various products to treat pimples. Your family doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist can give you all the necessary information about this.

  • TEN TIPS AGAINST PIMPLES: WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE PIMPLES?

    1 - Do not touch the pimples, do not squeeze, do not scratch. Leave your skin alone as much as possible. Gently pat your skin dry after washing. Excessive washing and rubbing will only irritate the skin.

    2 - Much has been said and written about nutrition and acne. Has a connection between nutrition and acne been proven or not? Do sugar, chocolate , dairy products, fatty foods worsen acne or not? There are many conflicting and unclear reports about this. Of course, it is always good and sensible to eat healthy and varied. But enjoying a nice piece of chocolate every now and then can do absolutely no harm. Enjoying it also contributes to that irresistible attraction.

    3 - Sunlight and tanning beds do not help against pimples. On the contrary, in the summer you can even suffer more from pimples.

    4 - Ensure thorough cleansing and care of your face every morning and evening with the right skin care products .

    5 - Occasionally give your face a more extensive treatment for deeper cleansing and hydration.

    6 - Only use facial care products that regulate sebum production and are therefore suitable for combination to oily skin.

    7 - Don't use products that dry out your skin. In the end, your skin will only become oilier, shinier and more pimple-prone.

    8 - Drink enough water (2 liters per day) to provide your skin with moisture from within, remove waste products and cleanse it, which reduces the chance of getting pimples.

    9- Acne eventually heals on its own. With patience and good facial care you can go a long way.

    10 - If your acne is very bad, or if you are worried or have any further questions, consult your doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist.
