Step Four- place over irritated areas
Step Five- lie down for five minutes
Step Six- rinse mask off with cool water.
Or you can try an unusual method of treating acne like the ice cube method.
Step One- just as you feel a pimple forming you take an ice cube, wrap it in saran wrap and place it on the skin portion where you feel a pimple about to form.
Step Two- hold it there for a few minutes. Avoid prolonged holding as you can get frostbite skin.
Perform the above steps three times daily
No matter what you decide to do after quite a few years of having to deal with acne I learned a few things. What I learned is that you have to go out and try different medicines. If the one you try burns your skin stop using it or try a lower strength. If your acne is really bad than I say see a dermatologist to choose the best course of action. They are the best people to advise you best on treating your acne. As for me from time to time I still see a pimple or two popping up. But over time you learn to deal with it, because it does not seem to go away.
