Before you begin your acne removal regimen, you need to make sure you have a few things that will help get rid of the acne on your face. It only requires a few simple things but, they will help you out tremendously in achieving a clear face. Take a minute to look over the list and make sure you have everything on it, and if you don’t we’ll help guide you so you can be well equipped.
Time
Acne removal is going to take a little bit of time every day, you need to make sure you can commit yourself twice a day to wash your face, apply a topical acne medication, and moisturize. You’ll need at most 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. That’s just 1 hour a day to get rid of acne
Facial Cleaner
The facial cleanser will help in your acne removal quest by washing away excess oil that is found on the skin along with any extra dead skin and dirt. Pick a mild soap that doesn’t irritate your skin or leave it feeling oily. You can pick one up at almost any store nowadays, but your local supermarket or a wal-mart will probably have it for less.
Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Cream
The next thing you need in your acne removal arsenal is a Benzoyl Peroxide topical acne cream. Benzoyl Peroxide is the most commonly used acne medication. It gets into your pores, unclogs them, and also kills P. Acne Bacterias. The downside is that it may leave your skin feeling a little irritated, and if you use too much it will dry out your skin. Make sure to use it as directed so you don’t have to worry about extra acne breakouts.
Skin Moisturizer
The last thing that will help out is a skin moisturizer that is not oil based. This is useful because it will prevent the Benzoyl Peroxide from drying out your skin. It will also keep your skin feeling moist and healthy. It is recommended that Aloe Vera be used because it is great at healing scars, which is essential when fighting acne. In addition it is also known to fight bacteria, so it will finish off what the benzoyl peroxide may miss.
So if you have all of those ingredients you’re ready to begin your acne removal regimen. Simply wash your face and pat it dry. And then wait another 5-10 minutes to let it air dry before applying Benzoyl Peroxide as directed per manufacturer’s label. Wait another 5-10 minutes for that to dry and then apply a little bit of moisturizer.
