Hormonal upheavals, change of pill, stress, fatigue... and hop the spot of acne that we thought was eradicated comes back in force. Unsuitable products (comedogenic creams based on petroleum-derived mineral oil, silicone, castor or sweet almond oil) can also block a sebaceous gland. Result:too much sebum has accumulated in it, bacteria proliferate, causing inflammation and the eruption of the red and painful pimple. A white dot sits on it? This is a sign that it is infected.

If he has a small white head, there we can pierce, but not just any old way:with a small disinfected needle, clean hands and a Kleenex. Not in a hurry by scratching with our fingernail. Then we disinfect. An anti-acne treatment such as Effaclar A.I. from La Roche-Posay can be applied locally for 48 hours.
Apply one or two drops of “true pure” lavender essential oil or lavandin essential oil directly to the pimple (both are cleansing and anti-inflammatory), every 3 hours on the pimple for a day. By the next day it should have set sail or be seriously down.
For the duration of the budding of the pimple, avoid scrubs and alcoholic lotions that will excite the pimple , and remove make-up with micellar water. You can occasionally use a Neutrogena Anti-Acne Cleanser Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit cleanser for young skin.
