Daily Routine

For face products, use [non-comedogenic] products to ensure that they do not block pores and contribute to acne formation.

  • Apply Sunscreen 1/day for [Sun Protection]
  • Use Face moisturizer 1/day to maintain skin hydration
  • Apply any dermatologist-recommended treatments on their schedule
  • Brush teeth 2x/day as part of overall oral hygiene
  • Wash face 1x/day to remove dirt and excess oil
  • Use Mouthwash 1x/day for additional oral care

Weekly Routine

  • Exfoliate 1-2 times per week to remove dead skin cells
  • Apply a hydrating or clarifying mask 1/week
    • Hydrating masks are great for dry skin, while clay or charcoal masks can help remove excess oil from oily skin types.

If I get a breakout

  • Wash with facial cleanser to remove impurities
  • Apply ice for 5-10 minutes a few times through the day to reduce redness and swelling, a technique known as cryotherapy for skin
  • Wrap overnight with Hydrocolloid Bandages to ensure that they stay in a moist, sealed environment for optimal healing
