ACNE-PRONE SKIN: ACNE & SEBO CONTROL MY MOMENT™ RITUAL
Our routine is based on the usage of the right ingredients to stabilize the sebum production, to reduce irritation and red spots that acne usually leave over the skin. Our ingredients include African spider flower, tea tree essential oil, Melacare™ advanced biotechnology and salicylic acid.
Acne is also associated with hormonal and emotional state and for that we recommend using the Tapping technique, which reduces irritation, inflammation and stress.
Tapping key points: Conduct very slow pressing movements while allowing the product to penetrate the skin. Do not drag it or massage it. Leave your hand a few seconds in each area.
Below, we recommend3-4 key products, with more information about your skin condition and key tips below.
Step 1: Purify cleanser
Frequency: Twice a day
Inhale the product with both hands together and feel how the aromas relax each part of your body. Then massage the product onto dry skin, and then add a little water for its emulsion. Anti oxidant benefits will provide that extra luminosity to our skin, in addition to unifying the tone, so that our skin looks radiant. Rinse off and pat dry your face.
Step 2: Revival mask
Frequency: 1 - 2 twice a week
The masks are intended to improve the health of the skin, and provide an extra to our facial routine. Revival, thanks to its active carbon capsules, removes all impurities without drying out the skin. Providing hydration and regulating the sebum of the skin. It eliminates the effects of pollution, and evens out the color of the skin (helping to eliminate “spots” caused by acne).
Step 3: Clear serum
Frequency: Use once a day to keep pimples in line, and twice a day if you are in the middle of an active breakout.
The key step of this routine, our Clear serum. Specifically designed to help eliminate the appearance of acne and irritations. In this routine we will apply two clicks of the product, but in a different way. As we have discussed before, acne is one of the biggest causes of emotional somatization in the skin. We are going to relax and let the product act in the best way on our emotions and on our skin. For this, we will use the TAP practice twice a day.

What does it mean to have an Acne-prone skin?
Our skin needs to generate a certain amount of lipids (fats) that help the skin's natural barrier to protect itself from aggressions and external factors. These lipids are produced by hormones, which are directly stimulated by the activity of the sebaceous glands.
Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands produce more lipids that it´s supposed to, causing the pores to saturate, causing an irritation that we call acne.
-
Characteristics
- Hyperfunction of the sebaceous gland causes excess sebum
- Greasy look (excess of oils)
- Rought texture
- Inflammation (if redness and sensitivity are present, it may be acne-rosacea. In this case, onsultation with the dermatologist).
- Presence of Cultibacterium acnes (main bacteria that cause acne).
Types of acne:
- Closed comedons (shin with whitehead)
- Open comedons (blackheads)
- Papule (Pimple only red without purulence): cannot be extracted.
- Pustule (Pimple with pus): cannot be extracted.

Tips, key ingredients and needs
Key ingredients:
Ingredients such as African spider flower, tea tree essential oil, Melacare™ Oil and salicylic acid are essential for controlling excess sebum and preventing (and improving) acne breakouts.
TAP is a technique that reduces anxiety and stress and brings you back to the present moment. This process reduces irritation and inflammation of the skin. Our recommendation is to use the TAP technique to take care of our acne prone skin.
Tapping key points:
Press a little without irritating.Feel all the fingers.DO NOT drag.Feel that the product penetrates your skin without leaving a greasy feelingLeave a few seconds in each area.
Key habits:
On the other hand, the science of nutrition and also common sense tell us that a healthy and balanced diet is the key to enjoying a healthy body and healthy skin. Eat an antioxidant diet to help your liver “reset.” Personally, the diet that I like the most is eating only apples 3 days in a row. As these days go by, reduce to an apple a day, and make it a permanent habit.
Meditation also helps calm you down and does a lot of good for your skin. In just a few minutes a day, you can breathe fresh air into your cells, helping to eliminate toxins, reduce acne, and even reduce the appearance of fine lines and bags under the eyes.

How does stress affect Acne-prone skin?
41% of adults in Spain comment that acne appears in periods of high stress or anxiety.
Stress can cause many skin problems, but acne is one of the most common. By raising its levels, it affects the sebum glands in the skin and causes the pores to clog. Stress can also lead you to touch your face more times than normal, which leads spreaded bacteria and dirt around your face.
Factors that favor the appearance of Acne:
- The use of very astringent products (which unbalances the skin's lipid barrier and makes it work harder to hydrate the skin producing more oils than necessary...)
- Smoking (41% of people who smoke suffer from acne, compared to 9% of non-smokers.)
- High-fat food / highly processed food

Reduce stress with this exercise
There are gestures and movements that you can perform with your body to help your internal energy to flow correctly and to let go of blockages and tensions. For example, sitting for a few minutes with your back straight and relaxed, keeping your gaze straight ahead and your shoulders resting down. Bringing awareness to your back to straighten it inside and out allows you to feel confidence and align your energy centers. This pose naturally helps purify your body, mind and emotions because it brings stability and firmness.
Close your eyes gently and start taking deep breaths to connect with your inner self. Now visualize the energy radiating from your hands to your entire body. Feel how its properties begin to calm your mind, aligning your thoughts and letting go of what was causing anxiety or exhaustion.
Bring your full attention to the area between your brows and allow this area to relax and expand. Remember that it´s related to intuition and superior knowledge of what surrounds you and yourself. Concentrate and visualize how the energy purifies your entire head, your neck, your eyebrows and your eyes.
When you feel ready, imagine how all that same energy begins to descend through your spine and through your entire body, coming out to discharge to the ground from your feet. Feel how you are letting go, making room for a new and clean energy and how you are renewing your energy field, refreshing every cell, every organ, every bone.

from 581 reviewsLlevo ya un tiempo utilizando Recovery Cleanser como primer paso de la doble limpieza y repito una y otra vez porque estoy encantada. Su aroma y textura son un placer para mi piel.
El contorno cumple lo que promete. Es calmante y ademas desinflama mucho bolsas y aclara las ojeras. Con poquita cantidad es suficiente. Un contorno de 10! Para personas con una piel reactiva es difícil muchas veces encontrar un buen contorno y el vuestro es maravilloso. Enhorabuena equipo!
My order has not arrived yet.
I received a message saying they had come on Saturday but no one brought it to my house.
De momento me ha encantado la crema, no deja de sensación grasa para nada y deja la piel suave e hidratada.
Me encanta esta mascarilla. Después de su aplicación me noto la piel súper limpia e hidratada
La llevo utilizando más de dos años y me deja la piel súper limpia y suave
El olor de esta crema es una maravilla..además es muy ligera e hidratante. En verano se ha convertido en un imprescindible
El mejor contorno de ojos que he probado. Apto para pieles y ojos sensibles. La piel queda muy hidratada y luminosa
El efecto buena cara es la mejor descripción cuando te levantas a la mañana siguiente. Es una muy buena crema de noche.
Es una pasada de mascarilla. Hidrata, suaviza y deja la piel muy jugosita. Después de aclarar la mascarilla, se absorben muy rápido los sérums e hidratantes.
Al día siguiente de usarla (se recomienda aplicarla después de la limpieza de la noche), la piel tiene muy buen aspecto y sigue suave.
Es mi favorita y ya llevo más de 2 años usándola.
Info: 38 años, piel seca y con melasma (hiperpigmentación).
Me encanta su textura y tras su uso la piel se queda genial.
Es maravilloso! No puedo vivir sin él ❤️
La textura es curioso con todas esas esferas negras, es muy agradable y untuosa. La aplico con las tres fases recomendadas y, la primera impresión es buena, la piel queda renovada y luminosa, jugosa. Lo espectacular es cuando a la mañana siguiente te levantas con una piel mucho más joven, no sé si es porque se ve más uniforme, más luminosa, más tersa... pero tienes la sensación de haber restado años a tu cara. Además queda muy muy suave y lisa. Un descubrimiento para tener siempre a mano !!!!!
Encantada con este producto deja una cara impecable.
