Daily Acne Cleansing Routine That Works

beautiful-face-portrait-wallpapers_11342_1152x864This cleansing routine has been really good at clearing up acne. It is different from day to day so it keeps your skin at it’s top condition and controls the oil. Within a few weeks my skin has improved quite a bit and my acne was almost gone. Anyways, here is the routine:

 

Day 1 Morning Routine

1. Wash your face as soon as you wake up.

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. If you are wearing makeup make sure it will not worsen your acne.

 

Tip: If you are going to put on makeup make sure all of your brushes are clean and dirt free.

During the day make sure to keep your hands away from your face.  Same goes for your hair.  If in the late afternoon you start to feel like your face is getting oily, wash it again like in the morning.

 

Day 1 Evening Routine

1. Remove makeup with oil free makeup remover.

2. Wash your face. (removes the dirt that gathered during the day) 

3. Put on a mask designed to fight acne. (for extra help)

4. Rinse the mask

5. Put on acne fighting moisturizer.

6. Put on spot treatment overtop just to your problem areas. (just dab onto the zits)

 

Tip: Change your pillowcase before bedtime.  Pillowcase collects oil and dirt from your hair and when your face touches it the bacteria transfers and can cause acne.

 

Day 2 Morning Routine

1.Wash your face as soon as you wake up, just like your first day.

2.After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne. (also same as day 1)

3.Try to not wear skin makeup every single day. Just put on some mascara some shadow and some gloss. If you MUST wear makeup, like everything else you put on your skin, make sure it’s designed for acne prone skin.

 

During the day wash your face if you feel like it is too oily. If the oil seems normal do not wash it.  During the day remember to keep your hands away from your face.

 

Day 2 Evening Routine

1. Remove makeup with oil free makeup remover. (same as the other days, boring and repetitive but it works, so keep reading :) )

2. Wash your face.

3. Put on acne fighting moisturizer.

 

Day 3 Morning Routine

 This is the same as all the other days, but if you still need a reminder…

 1. Wash your face as soon as you wake up

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. If you are wearing makeup make sure it will not worsen your acne.

Tip: If you changed your pillowcase on Day 1 it is time to change it again. Clean pillowcase leads to clean skin.

 

Day 3 Evening Routine

1.Remove makeup with oil free makeup remover. (OIL FREE! This should be our new favourite word!)

2.Wash your face. (But don’t OVERWASH!  )

3.Put on a mask designed to fight acne. ( We like clay masks or honey masks)

4.Rinse the mask

5.Put on acne fighting moisturizer.

Since the day before you have not put on the mask your skin should be OK for a little extra help.

This is a good time to use some blackhead strips on your nose and/or any other areas that have a lot of blackheads.

 

Day 4 Morning Routine

 1.Wash your face as soon as you wake up

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. If you are wearing makeup make sure it will not worsen your acne. ( we like vichy makeup for acne prone skin)

 

If you can go without makeup try to go without. Your skin needs to breathe, so give it a day off.  If in the afternoon your face feels greasy, wash it.

 Tip: sometimes you can’t help but touch your face without even

noticing. Because of this make sure that your hands are always clean.

 

Day 4 Evening Routine

 1. Wash your face ( sorry for repeat AGAIN)

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. Put on acne fighting cream. Put on spot clearing cream to problem areas.

By now your skin should be looking quite a bit better. If you have any “pickble” acne please try your best not to pick at it. It will heal much faster if you don’t pick. This is very important and following this simple tip can speed up your acne process quite a bit.

 

Day 5 Morning Routine

Do you remember it? If not here it is AGAIN:

  1. Wash your face as soon as you wake up

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. If you are wearing makeup make sure it will not worsen your acne.

 

Day 5 Evening Routine

On this day instead of a mask use a good exfoliator to remove some of the dead skin. Do not exfoliate more than once a week.

 1.Remove makeup with oil free makeup remover.

2.Wash your face.

3.Use the exfoliator as directed on the package.

4.Rinse off.

5.Put on acne fighting moisturizer.

Make sure to change your pillowcase.

 

Day 6 Morning Routine

 1. Wash your face as soon as you wake up

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. If you are wearing makeup make sure it will not worsen your acne.

 

Day 6 Evening Routine

1. Wash your face

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. Put on acne fighting cream. Put on spot clearing cream to problem areas.

On this day if you feel like you want to put on a mask go ahead and

put it on.

 

Day 7 Morning Routine

 Same as all the previous days.

 

Day 7 Evening Routine

 1.Wash your face

2. After washing use a moisturizer that is designed to fight acne.

3. Put on acne fighting cream. Put on spot clearing cream to problem areas.

At this point you need to check the condition of your skin.  It should be well moisturized but not greasy. It should not feel too dry.

 

If your skin feels dry and irritated use a milder cleanser. If your skin feels greasy use the same cleanser but replace your acne fighting cream with spot treatment cream. Instead of using spot treatment cream only in spots use it like you use your acne fighting cream.  If your skin is looking better and seems to be not too dry not too oily then stick to this routine and you should have clear skin soon.

    [...] This is true for all the typical brands such as cover girl, revlon and so on.  Anyways this new foundation is awsome. It actually helps your skin look better when you use it.  I tried it for a week and my skin actually improved.  I just want to let you guys know that I don’t get paid for reviews so this is not some marketing thing. I am just happy to share the info because this foundation is actually good.  The only thing is that it costs $25 which is quite a bit more then the regular brands, but if you want nice skin to me it’s worth the price. Also the texture of it is very good, and you can’t really tell that you are wearing makeup.  It’s not cakey looking.  I am giving it a 10 out of 10 because it is that good.  For more info be sure to check out our list of 100 best acne tips and our newest article Daily Acne Cleansing Routine That Works.

    I have found that products containing bentonite and less chemicals helped improve my acne. I found an acne fighting face mask at http://www.serenitysoapnshower.com that is wonderful! I also use the olive oil soap.
    It is hard for me to find products I can use, being vegan. But the stuff at serenitysoapnshower.com is all natural and VEGAN! :)

    Patting your skin dry instead of rubbing dry will cut down on face irritation. Any leftover moisture will air dry in no time. You may find this makes a dramatic difference if you were formally rubbing your skin dry. You will at least find that it cuts down on the redness of your face.
