Blemishes are a problem affecting the majority of women. When we want to get rid of them, we often find they are already “fairly dark” and difficult to conceal, even using make-up.
Although the best time of year to treat blemishes in the winter, we should spend time on maintenance and prevention throughout the year, both in summer, when we are more exposed to the sun’s rays, and in colder months.
What if it’s springtime and I want to treat them? Is it too late? Relax! If you want to reduce the appearance of blemishes before the arrival of summer, here’s an effective way to treat them. The key is in following an intensive treatment, perseverance and good maintenance.
Martiderm’s DSP line includes five products adapted for all skin types, all routines and all types of blemishes. Previous posts have talked about how to treat generalised and localised spots. Today, on the other hand, we’re going to tell you about intensive treatments for blemishes.
In the daytime, it is absolutely essential to be well protected from the sun. For this, we recommend DSP Day Cream, which acts specifically against hyperpigmentation and has a sun protection factor of SPF 50+.
Its depigmenting function and SPF 50+ sun protection come together to form a complete, effective action. The cream is simple to use: apply it all over your face, whether blemishes are localised or generalised. This allows the sun screen to completely protect the face as a whole, preventing the appearance of new blemishes.
This is the perfect accessory to use in the day, as it offers localised sun protection, especially for dark, localised blemishes. It helps to continue the process of depigmentation during the day, and camouflages the dark tone of blemishes. The product’s natural tone adapts to all skin types.
Remember that for guaranteed effectiveness, sun screen should be applied approximately every two hours. With Martiderm’s Stick Cover, you can do this easily and confidently whenever you want.
What application routine should I follow?
Once you know the benefits of our products, you should know how to use them. We recommend the following daily routine: start with half a Photo-Age proteoglycan ampoule, followed by DSP-CREAM FPS 50+, and finish with DSP-Cover STICK FPS 50+.
As we have explained in previous posts, Photo-Age is the most suitable of our entire range of proteoglycan ampoules for skin with photoageing. We’ve spoken before about natural, healthy ways to tackle skin ageing. Click here to read the post again.
This is the most intensive treatment in the range, a clay mask with an occlusive effect which improves the absorption of the ingredients, resulting in a more effective treatment. It is best to use the mask daily.
What routine should I follow to apply the DSP-MASK?
To check your skin tolerates the product, apply the mask progressively for the first three days: 30 minutes on the first day, an hour on the second and approximately two hours on the third day.
If your skin tolerates the product well for these first days, you can leave it on all night from then. If your skin is sensitive, however, we still recommend using the mask daily, but for no longer than two hours. The mask is easy to remove with warm water. After drying your skin, you can apply your usual night treatment.
One option for your night routine is to continue with the depigmenting treatment with DSP-Renovation Cream, to complement the usual anti-ageing treatment. Or you could go for our Alfa-Peeling night ampoules for a gentle renovation of the skin, giving it a uniform tone, hydration and tautness.
What routine should I follow each night?
Daily application of DSP-MASK for up to two hours: apply DSP-MASK for 30 mins to two hours, then wash away.
Option A: apply DSP-Renovation Cream + Proteum or Krono-Age anti-ageing serums.
Option B: apply half an Alfa-Peeling ampoule +your usual cream.
Daily application of DSP-MASK all night:
Option A: apply DSP-Renovation Cream + Proteum or Krono-Age anti-ageing serum + DSP-MASK.
Option B: apply half an Alfa-Peeling ampoule + DSP-MASK.
Don’t forget that perseverance is the key to good results. Finally, if you want to properly maintain your skin during the summer months, we recommend the following routine: apply DSP Illuminator Serum before your regular treatment, day and night, and DSP Mask for 30–45 mins once a week.
