Be gentle with your skin. Some people with acne think they can scrub away their pimples, but in reality over-exfoliation can make your skin much worse! Using harsh scrubs, washcloths and face brushes can cause inflammation, and make your skin feel red, irritated and raw. The same goes for poking and prodding your face! Picking, popping and squeezing can lead to slower healing, scarring and infection.

When washing your face, use warm water and your fingers to massage the cleanser into your skin for about 1 minute. Your hands are the only tools you need to adequately clean your face on a daily basis.A gentle scrub, like the Microdermabrasion 2-in-1 Scrub + Mask, one to two times a week is all you need to properly exfoliate your skin. Treating your skin gently will prevent unnecessary inflammation, and help your skin heal faster.
