Hands OFF! It’s seriously tempting to pop the latest pimple and sometimes even though you’re resisting the urge, you still find yourself touching it and playing with it. This is an unhealthy practice because you’re just pushing bacteria into the pores and making the problem ten times worse. Picking at your skin can cause extra inflammation and irritation which could lead to acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Instead, keep your face clean, and dab on some Acne Clear Serum until they heal. Schedule an Deep Cleansing Facial, complete with extractions performed by a professional.

Or try a cool acne hack!
When you feel a new blemish coming on, use an ice cube to dramatically reduce inflammation and the severity of the acne. Icing a blemish will reduce swelling, shrinking the size of the spot and reducing redness. This will also help cut down the lifespan of the blemish! Icing is also particularly good for deep, painful cystic acne.


How to: After applying your Acne Clear Serum , wrap an ice cube in a very thin washcloth or paper towel and gently massage the ice over the blemish or affected area for ONE minute. Allow your skin to rest for 5 minutes and reapply the ice for another minute. You can repeat this process as often as needed. After icing, reapply the Acne Serum!
