SCIENTIFIC INSIGHTS
Skin that appears blemish-prone is often influenced by a combination of genetics, hormonal activity, microbial imbalance, inflammation, and skin barrier concerns. Supporting skin wellness involves a personalised approach based on individual skin types, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Genetics and Skin Type
Some individuals naturally experience fewer visible breakouts due to inherited skin traits, while others may benefit from targeted care to support skin balance during hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Hormonal shifts can lead to increased sebum (oil) production. Excess oil, along with dead skin cells, may contribute to the appearance of clogged pores and visible blemishes. Androgens (like testosterone) and stress hormones (like cortisol) may influence this process.
Microbial Imbalance
Cutibacterium acnes is part of the skin’s natural microbiome. However, when pores become blocked by oil and buildup, this bacterium can thrive, contributing to visible redness or bumps.
Skin Barrier Stress
A weakened skin barrier may lead to dry patches or congestion. When the microbiome is unbalanced (dysbiosis), the skin can appear more reactive or sensitive.
Sleep and Skin Balance
Emerging research suggests that lack of sleep may influence visible skin changes by affecting hormone levels, immune strength, and overall skin appearance.
Cosmetic Products
Using products that contain rich oils or comedogenic ingredients may contribute to pore blockage for some skin types. Choosing lightweight, non-comedogenic formulations is ideal for sensitive or oily skin.
Nutrition and Lifestyle
While research continues, some studies suggest a connection between certain dietary patterns (e.g., high glycaemic foods, dairy, or whey protein) and skin clarity. A well-rounded, nutrient-rich diet supports overall wellbeing and healthy-looking skin.
PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR A CLEARER-LOOKING SKIN
Because blemish-prone skin may result from many overlapping influences, Calmier encourages a balanced, whole-skin approach:
Practice Proper Hygiene daily
Cleanse your skin twice daily using Calmier Cleansing Milk, formulated to refresh and purify without stripping the skin’s natural oils. (See “Calmier Proper Hygiene Tips” for more.)
Use Calmier Yellow Cream or Yellow Balm
These turmeric-based products contain curcumin, known for its skin-soothing and microbiome-supporting properties.
Support the Skin Barrier Naturally
Calmier Yellow Cream and Balm are formulated to help nurture the skin’s natural defenses and encourage microbiome balance. Avoid harsh physical scrubs or tools that may compromise the skin’s surface or introduce external microbes.
Follow with a Non-Comedogenic Moisturiser
Seal in hydration with Calmier Botanic Moisturiser, designed to soften the skin without clogging pores. If using makeup or sunscreen, opt for formulas suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
Sleep and Stress Management
Good-quality sleep and stress support are essential to the skin’s natural rhythm. When we rest, the skin’s regenerative processes work at their best.
Balanced Nutrition
A well-balanced, whole-food diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and vitamins may support overall skin wellness.
