Thick skin is more prone to imperfections. It also doesn't absorb vitamins and active ingredients as well, and tends to let fine lines set in more easily over time.

So how do you refine your skin's texture and boost its elasticity?

The solution isn't as out of reach as it seems!

Here are 5 simple, natural, quick gestures you can do yourself for a more even skin texture.

What is uneven skin texture and what causes it?

Visible to the eye and noticeable to the touch (an uneven surface under the fingers), uneven skin texture is generally caused by excess sebum, which often leads to blackheads. But other factors also play a role, such as age, pollution, diet, smoking, and stress.

Five simple steps to restore even, smooth skin

1- Keep up impeccable hygiene

Thoroughly cleansing your skin with a makeup remover and a gentle cleanser every day is essential to rid it of pollution, sweat, excess sebum, makeup, dust... all impurities that, if left in place, clog pores and suffocate the skin, encouraging imperfections. Clean skin is essential so it can breathe properly!

2- Apply cold to your face

Cold naturally tightens pores and refines your skin texture. There are several techniques for this, such as chilling rose water before misting it lightly onto your face, which boosts its antioxidant and toning benefits and stimulates blood circulation. You can also wrap ice cubes in a clean cloth and gently apply them to your face, or simply rinse your face with cold water before starting your routine. Feel free to use cold morning and evening for best results.

3- Make exfoliation a habit

The secret weapon for refining your skin texture in no time: facial exfoliation! Using a scrub once or twice a week clears away impurities while removing dead skin cells, and your face regains its glow. Note: scrubs should be applied to clean skin and followed by a moisturizer to avoid irritating the skin.

4- Use masks regularly

After removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores with a scrub, it's a good idea to apply a purifying mask. The mask complements the benefits of the scrub, bringing hydration and an even tone to the skin.

Tip: Choose masks based on white clay, which cleanses the skin effectively yet very gently, removing impurities and intensely remineralizing the skin to soften it and restore its glow. Spirulina is also recommended, since thanks to its antioxidant properties, it alone brings together everything skin needs to be firm, smooth, and revitalized.

5- Don't skip hydration

Finally, hydration is the crucial step for flawless-looking skin, since it's what shields against the impurities and free radicals responsible for uneven texture. You need a treatment that hydrates skin enough to protect it from external aggressors while balancing sebum production. We recommend choosing a light, fluid organic day cream for daily use. Once or twice a week, you can boost that hydration with La Gelée Royale, our plumping night mask with plant-based collagen and hyaluronic acid, for visibly smoother, plumper-looking skin by morning.

Bonus — Don't forget in-salon treatments
