Facial cleansing: the most widespread myths

Cleansing looks like the simplest step in any routine, the one everybody assumes they already know. Which is exactly why there are more myths around it than certainties.

The more you wash, the cleaner you get? No

Cleansing too frequently weakens the skin barrier and can increase oil production in compensation, achieving the opposite of what you were after.

Do-it-yourself extractions

Squeezing blackheads and spots at home risks irritation, post-inflammatory marks and scarring. Professional extractions are carried out only where the skin genuinely needs them, with the right tools and hygiene.

The myth of the product "for everyone"

The same cleanser does not behave the same way on two different skins, nor on the same skin at two different points in the year. A ritual like Beauté Premiere, in nine stages, is calibrated to what the assessment reveals that day, not to a fixed protocol.

Frequently asked questions

Should I wash my face several times a day if my skin is congested?

No: cleansing too frequently can irritate the skin and increase oil production in compensation. Targeted cleansing is better than more frequent cleansing.

Can I do blackhead extractions myself at home?

It is not advisable: do-it-yourself extractions risk irritation and scarring. In our treatments, extractions are done only where the skin genuinely needs them.
