Let there be light: my beauty ritual without spots or gray areas

The arrival of spring marks the return of the sun and the return of brown spots. Hyperpigmentation is often our #1 concern as we enter middle age. The phenomenon is largely amplified by exposure to UV rays. At a time when light is making its big comeback in the sky, it is high time to also invite it onto our faces. Goal for radiant skin and even complexion: here is our step-by-step ritual to remove spots and dark areas from our face.

#1 My cleansing ritual that skyrockets radiance

Yes, you can act from the cleaning phase to nourish your glow. This involves cleansers enriched with specific active ingredients, including the essential vitamin C. There are also exfoliating cleansers. In this case, it is better to skip point #2 so as not to sensitize your skin!

Vitamin C is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits. But it is in the kakadu plum that it is most abundant: up to 100 times more than in an orange! This “supercharged” plant extract is the flagship active ingredient in Gospel cleanser from the Antipodes brand. It breathes like a wind of freshness on tired-looking skin.

And for a luxurious glow ritual, let yourself be seduced by the wonderful Rose Diamond exfoliating cleanser from The Organic Pharmacy. Formulated with real diamond powder, Damascus rose and enzymes, it gently renews the skin surface to visibly illuminate the complexion. Ideal for mature skin, it also blurs the relief of wrinkles and fine lines.

#2 My exfoliating ritual that chases away dull complexion

It doesn't matter whether it is chemical, enzymatic or mechanical. Exfoliation is in all cases an essential gesture to “break” the bonds that hold dead cells to the epidermis and support the renewal of the epidermis. It helps to even out uneven skin tones, at all ages.

Several scientific studies have confirmed the benefits of AHAs, and in particular glycolic acid, on hyperpigmentation marks, such as melasma and post-inflammatory marks. You can use this active ingredient on a daily basis by opting for an exfoliating lotion with the right amount of acids to suit daily use. Our choice: Indie Lee Exfoliating Lotion , which combines three active ingredients with uniforming effects: glycolic acid, lactic acid and niacinamide.

Do you have rather delicate and sensitive skin? Reduce the exfoliating rate to once a week (or according to your own feelings). In this case, turn to a mask instead, like the Exfoliating Mask from On The Wild Side. It has the particularity of being 2-in-1, since it combines chemical (AHA) and mechanical (rice powder) exfoliation. All in a unique, enveloping and cocooning balm texture! It is recommended for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

#3 My anti-dark spots and anti-grey complexion moisturizing ritual

Hydration remains the number one reflex to maintain skin with a fresh, plump appearance that reflects light perfectly. In case of well-established spots, “boost” your moisturizing routine with lightening active ingredients. This is the case for vitamin C and retinol (the best known), but not only that!

It's possible to remove blemishes from your skin without disrupting your entire routine: opt for a booster! Simply add 2 to 3 drops of Pa+G (Papaya + Geranium) concentrated serum from Odacité to your daily dose of moisturizer. Its ultra-concentrated formula in active ingredients targets pigmentary irregularities and signs of aging. For spring, it forms a wonderful “glow booster” duo with the Green Smoothie cream, whose fresh and refreshing texture we love.

Here are other nuggets that could help you even out your complexion:

#4 My IN ritual to unify my complexion from the inside

You can also optimize the benefits of your cosmetic routine with food supplements. It's like the icing on the cake that crowns all your efforts! Choose yours according to your preferences, especially in terms of taking methods. Here are two of our favorites.

If your skin looks gray: We want the ultimate radiance from Atelier Nubio (1 capsule to swallow every day with a glass of water, ideally for 3 months). It contains a triple active ingredient collagen + hyaluronic acid + elastin (Ovoderm™) as well as zinc and SOD from organic melon from Roussillon. In case of mature skin, it may be interesting to associate it with “We want pretty cheekbones”.

If you have pigment spots: Clear Glow from the Aime brand (1 capsule to swallow every day with a glass of water, ideally for 3 months). It is formulated with the patented BelightTM complex (grape seed extract + grape marc extract + licorice root extract + vitamin C). Its benefits are potentiated by the presence of copper and two strains of tyndallized probiotics.
