- Acne medication ( Clean&Clear Persa-Gel 10 )
Instructions:
*Cleansing:
1. Tie your hair back neatly. Prevent hair from falling off the face.
2. Splash warm water all over your face gently. Warm water helps to open pores.
3. Put a 1/2 - inched amount of facial cleanser into hand. Lather until it becomes foaming. The more you lather it, the more gently it touches your skin, the less it irritate your skin.
4. As gently as possible, lather the foaming cleanser onto your face. Do not push or touch any hard. Go over the forehead, cheeks, hairline, nose, chine, jaw and under jaw areas. Do not forget the hairline (Dirt from hair accumulates most at the hair line).
5. Count 1,2,3....until 8,9,10 while lathering. Do not lather your skin over 10 seconds. Your acnes do not like too much touching.
6. Rinse your face with warm water. The same thing, do not push or touch too hard.
7. Splash a little cold water on your face. It closes the pores ad reduces pore holes.
8. Use cotton towel facial tissue to absorb excess water on your face. Let the left dry by itself. Don't try to touch it hard.
*Medication application:
9. Use Q-tip to apply medication into each visible acne.( Q-tip prevents dirt from your hand from coming into acnes)
10. On the red or acne-fulled areas like between eyebrows, hairline, the cheeks, blend a thin layer of medication into it.
11. Let them dry 20-30 second. Do not touch them much.
*Lotion Application:
Oil skin still needs to be moisturized. The drier the skin is, the more oil your body tend to produce to keep the skin balanced. End up, your skin will be more oily without moisturizer.
12. Apply thin layer of lotion on your skin. Blend and massage it into skin until it's dry. Do not scrub.
13. Well done.
