Expert Answers to Your Top Skincare Questions

Today, we're addressing the most common questions we receive across our social networks, drawing from years of skincare expertise.

Should you cleanse your face morning and evening?

Yes, absolutely. Your skin faces daily stressors like pollution, wind, temperature changes, and fatigue. Evening cleansing removes makeup, pollution particles, excess sebum, sunscreen residues, and impurities. Morning cleansing eliminates overnight sebum buildup, promoting healthy skin respiration. Try our gentle cleansing oil for effective, nourishing results.

Why choose cleansing oil over micellar water?

Micellar water is water-based, while cleansing oil isn't. Oils excel at dissolving all makeup—even waterproof formulas—since makeup relies on oily ingredients that water can't remove. Cleansing oils deeply purify impurities and pollution particles, ideal for urban dwellers. They eliminate the need for cotton pads and rubbing, allowing gentle massaging instead, to protect your skin barrier.

What foods promote beautiful skin?

Diet plays a key role in skin health. Focus on a balanced intake rich in green vegetables and red fruits packed with vitamins. For more details, check our dedicated blog post on foods for radiant skin.

Can oily skin use vegetable oils?

Yes, contrary to myth, vegetable oils suit all skin types, including oily. Jojoba and hazelnut oils regulate sebum by providing essential fatty acids, preventing overproduction. These oils are rich in vitamins, lipids, and fatty acids that penetrate quickly without residue, strengthening the hydrolipidic film and balancing pH.

Why do dark circles appear under the eyes?

Dark circles vary from brown to purple, often due to poor microcirculation, lymphatic issues, fatigue, stress, hormones, or age-related skin thinning around the eyes.

How to reduce dark circles?

Tip #1: Prioritize sleep.
Tip #2: Drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily.
Tip #3: Use our eye contour treatment. The cooling roll-on revives the eye area, organic immortelle essential oil reduces puffiness and dark circles, and carrot oil adds radiance for a bright-eyed look.

What triggers blemishes?

Blemishes stem from lifestyle, hormones, sun overexposure, dirty hands on face, or diet. Learn more in our blog post on blemish triggers.

Why avoid popping pimples?

Hands harbor germs. Popping introduces bacteria into the wound, risking superinfection, worsened inflammation, and acne scars.

- Drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily
