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 Tretinoin cream (10%) every 1-2 days for anti-aging benefits
- Use Clindamycin/Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 1/day for acne treatment
- 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
- Take Daily medications as prescribed
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
