Do you fall into the category of skins with imperfections or problematic skins? You're certainly not alone. In fact, we all have imperfections. But what can we do?

Perfect skin doesn't exist!
Since our teenage years, we've been bombarded with images of flawless skin, at a time when we're most vulnerable, lacking perspective and discernment.
These days, there are even apps to erase imperfections in selfies, perpetuating the illusion of perfect skin. AI now creates virtual people!
But the reality is that perfect skin doesn't exist, even though it's what we see everywhere: in advertisements, magazines, Instagram, and so on. Don't be fooled.
Finding our own perfection
We need to find our own perfection. This means finding a balance that allows us to feel comfortable in our skin, accepting that we can't control everything, and that our skin has a say too.
How many times have I had the biggest pimple two days before giving a class on making natural cosmetics?
"How can I be credible?" I wondered. Even using the best products for my skin, internal and external factors play a role.
Is it the stress of preparing for the class? Most likely. Did I eat foods that didn't agree with me? Whatever the cause, at least I know that what I put on my skin isn't the cause of my pimples!
A few words for when you criticise yourself
- Accept what you can't change.
- Have the courage to change the things you can.
- Have the wisdom to discern what can be changed from what can't. (Excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer," written by medieval monks).
We all have elements we can't change
We all have elements we can't change: we'll all grow old, have wrinkles, have pimples at some point, and be too critical of our skin!
Now That You Can Accept What You Can't Change, Have the Courage to Change What You Can!
Give up conventional cosmetics
Abandon conventional cosmetics, including makeup (switch to mineral makeup if necessary (Couleur Caramel, Lily Lolo, Zao, etc.)!
