Daily hygiene is such a basic way to treat pimples, but most people are doing it wrong!

This routine is a simple 3 step process that should be followed precisely for optimal results and it is one of the best treatment for acne. It is important to do this daily, in fact, twice daily. Being gentle is essential, and do not be stingy with medication or moisturizer.

Step 1: Cleanse your skin
• Avoid harsh soaps, scrubs, or soaps with facial beads. Use only a mild soap.
• Gently splash warm water over your face to prepare your skin. Use a generous amount of cleanser for a rich lather. Wash the acne infections with the lather for at least ten seconds. If you must, count in your head, because a thorough cleanse removes all excess oil and penetrates the skin. Splash your face with warm water to rinse away the lather. Make sure you use a soft and clean towel to pat your skin dry. Scrubbing your face dry creates irritation and leaves no moisture behind.

Step 2: Apply Treatment
• Use2.5 % benzoyl peroxide
• Before you do anything, wash and dry your hands to clear away bacteria. Dispense benzoyl peroxide into your palm, you can never use too much medication! Spread this medication all over your face lightly and allow it to absorb into the skin. Allow the benzoyl peroxide to seep into the skin for 5-15 minutes.

Step 3: Moisturize your skin
• Once again, wash your hands. To avoid dry skin from the treatment, use plenty of moisturizer. Pump the moisturizer about three times. Apply the moisturizer by spreading it gently over the skin without rubbing it in. Let your skin soak it up and re-hydrate.

This regimen is strict, do not skip any steps or forget to constantly wash your hands. Try to avoid touching your face throughout the day. It may seem time consuming or you may feel too tired at night to do a thorough job, but acne-free smooth skin is on the line!
