Picking your pimples again? Try this!
I never give my spots a rest. Much to my own regret. As soon as I start picking at them, I wish I hadn’t. Fortunately, my wonder weapon helps me ward off the worst.
The number one pimple rule? Don’t touch! A piece of advice I preach but don’t practise. As a popaholic, self-control isn’t my forte. But all that squeezing, fiddling and picking slows down the healing process and can cause ugly pimple scars.
Sure, I know this. But sometimes my fingers get the better of me. Whenever that’s the case, I reach for Cicaplast Ultra-Repairing Soothing Balm by La Roche-Posay. The repair balm is fragrance-free and contains five per cent panthenol – also known as vitamin B5. The active ingredient helps my skin retain water while soothing it at the same time. The madecassoside in the cream speeds up the regeneration of the skin barrier. I apply the pasty cream to my blemishes in the morning and evening and rub it in well. You only need a small amount. In my experience, this heals the small wounds almost twice as fast as they would usually.
By the way: the balm is also available with SPF 50. However, in terms of texture, I prefer the version without SPF as it’s less greasy.
Sometimes the tiniest details can make or break the way our skin feels, hair looks or make-up pops. In my Blazing Beauty Tips series, I share useful techniques and products with you that I’ve either discovered myself or stolen from the pros.

Natalie.Hemenguel@digitecgalaxus.chAs a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
