1. Wash your face at least two times per day, it is best to use a 2% Salicylic Wash. You can go to Wall-Mart, your local drug store or Target and get the brand "Clean & Clear". It is the next best brand to the one we sell or you can call us at 480-752-8100, talk to one of our skin care specialist and we will be glad to assist you in some skin care products.

2. If you workout or play sports and sweat a lot, wash your face with an antibacterial soap (like Clean & Clear) immediately after. This will stop those small pimple breakouts. Be careful not to over dry your skin, moisturize your face. When the skin is really dry the natural oils get trapped causing a breakout.

3. Do Not pick at your face. This can cause scarring or pigmentation problems.

4. Don’t use or buy scrubs for your face, all it will do is cut up you face (it will be so tiny you won't see it). Instead after a shower, scrub your face with a dry towel, this will exfoliate you with no abrasion to the face and it's Free!

5. Moisturize, even oily skin needs moisture. Not moisturizing is going to make oily skin, more oily. Did you know that you can buy moisturizers and toners that will actually stop oil production? We can help you with that.

6. Eating oily greasy foods will make your skin more oily or greasy.

7. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

8. Blood and puss in your pimples is a sign of infection, it needs to be extracted professionally.

9. Leaving big pimples on your face will cause scarring, they need to be professionally extracted.

10. If using topical acne medications, it is very important that you use a sun block to avoid pigment scarring from the sun. Pimples that are burned from the sun will cause discoloration.

11. Your acne medication will work better if you have a professional cleaning first. This is because your body will not have to deal with so much and can concentrate more on healing.

12. Dry skin will cause acne because impurities cannot get out of the skin, it gets trapped causing more pimples. This is another reason to moisturize.

13. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. ( No abrasive scrubs please, it just cuts up your skin.)

14. Using a steamer on your face will only dehydrate your skin. It will not clean out your skin. The only reason we use a steamer is to soften your pimples and open your pores so we can extract them out. Taking a shower does the same thing as a steamer.

15. Going to a tanning bed will not only make your face leathery , trap pimples and impurities, it will also cause pigmentation scarring, even if you cover your face you will get the bad rays. It may temporally make your skin look better, but it will get worse!

16. A 2% benzyl peroxide acne medication gel is one of the best defenses against acne.

17. You can buy hydrogen peroxide at the supermarket and rinse your face with it after you wash to dry out pimples. Be careful, it will bleach out your eyebrows and make your skin dry, but it works!

18. Don’t use the same wash cloth to wash your face everyday, it carries a lot of bacteria, causing more pimples. You should be washing your face with your hands and dry with a clean towel.

19. If you put your fingers in your product to the pimples on your face “ your product is infected” You are putting more bacteria and infection on to your face. You will never be able to clear up. Go purchase new make-up and product . Keep your fingers out of your product ! A great make-up line we suggest is “Mac”.

20. Wash your make-up brushes every week with soap and water.

21. Alcohol will only irritate your skin, it is to drying.

22. The tan you have in the summer is going to cause pimples in the winter.
