Also you may wish to follow a Good Washing routine, the following has been widely accepted by alot of previous acne/scarring sufferers
morning…
1) cleanse with a mild cleanser for sensitive skin.
2) exfoliate (Baking Powder)
Avoid all scrubs..no matter how mild they claim to be. but how do we exfoliate, do u ask??? oh thats easy…and DIRT CHEAP too!!! 2 WORDS- BAKING SODA!
Use baking soda instead… just make a paste out of baking soda and water…and massage very gently. wash immediately. u have to do this after cleansing. u may be able to extract some ripe or loose blackheads afterward.
3) tone to balance pH
now that baking soda is basic in nature..something acidic is needed to balance the ph. ANSWER? APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!
use a 1:8 (vinegar:water) solution first and then gradually increase to 1:1 ..never apply it neat. BALANCED pH = BEAUTIFUL SKIN! wash off after 10 mins. dont leave it on.
4) Apply ur acne cream.
4) Moisturise with SPF containing moisturiser. Look for the words sensitive skin, hypoallergenic & non-comedogenic WITH SUN PROTECTION FACTOR when u buy any moisturiser.
5) And for those who apply make-up, use non-acnegenic products containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. they r good for the skin too!
Evening..
6) cleanse ur face ..( use baking soda and acv only ONCE a day..morning or evening as ur preference)
7) Apply a mild protein mask…
(Mask >)
1 Tablespoon of egg-white whipped up + a squeeze of lemon (dont put too much). smooth it over ur face..avoid eye area… wash off in 10 minutes.
