Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn’t matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.

Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you’ve just revealed.

Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you’re only going to use one medication.

I chose not to wear make up for the entire video to show what my skin really looks like, scars/discoloration and all =) I battled severe acne breakouts that riddled my entire face. Here are the rules that I learned that transformed and changed my skin in a matter of weeks. Medication can be anything from salicylic acid, benzoic acid aka benzoyl peroxide, retinol or any intense acne treatment. My skin type: Normal/Combination. Products mentioned in this video: Skin Laboratories Salicylic Acid Gel Peel 20% www.amazon.com Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar www.cetaphil.com I’ve used these products for a very long time and was not paid to mention them in this video.
