In vacation photos, the skin appears smooth, the pimples almost forgotten. Then, at the start of the school year, the imperfections suddenly reappear on the chin, the forehead, and sometimes the back. This great return of spots, however, surprises dermatologists very little.
The fault often lies with the sun, acne’s false friend: it thickens the epidermis, clogs pores and lets impurities accumulate before revealing everything in September. And then the stress, the change of pace and a sometimes too aggressive routine finish the job.
Return of spots and sun: what really happens to the skin
Specialists describe acne as an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicle, where sebum is produced. When this sebum becomes thicker and accumulates with dead cells, the pore becomes blocked, giving rise to blackheads, whiteheads and then red spots.
This phenomenon concerns around 80% of adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 20, and almost 25% of adult women. In summer, the epidermis thickens to defend itself from UV rays, the lesions hide, then reappear en masse when the skin returns to its usual state.
Invisible Bandage Violette_FR, the invisible bandage that protects the skin
Designed by the French brand Violette_FR, the Invisible Bandage treatment was designed as a real invisible bandage for the face. With 99% ingredients of natural origin, it forms a protective film that helps the skin defend itself against everyday micro-aggressions.
Dermatologically tested, this treatment acts as a shield against bacteria and pollution, soothes imperfections and limits their appearance. Its formula, enriched with hydrolyzed red algae extracts and niacinamide, helps to purify and even out the complexion, while its matte texture leaves a transparent film which improves the hold of makeup, for around $33.
How to use this invisible bandage after pimples return
After summer, it is better to adopt a short and gentle routine: morning and evening cleansing without rubbing, non-comedogenic moisturizing cream, high sun protection in case of exposure. In the morning, Invisible Bandage is applied in a thin layer to marked areas, before or after concealer, to smooth the surface without suffocating the skin.
