After washing your face with a gentle, chemical-free cleanser, apply your preferred acne face cream using a clean applicator. Gently massage the cream into your skin, allowing it to fully absorb. This helps to seal pores, retain natural moisture, and enhance the cream’s beneficial effects.
For optimal results, use the cream two to three times daily. Apply it after cleansing your face in the morning and again before bed. An additional application at midday can also be beneficial.
The cream can be used under or over makeup, though it’s most effective on clean skin.
You may experience a slight tingling sensation in areas without sores and a mild stinging in areas with open sores. This is temporary and should subside as the cream reduces itchiness and promotes healing.
Many acne creams contain allantoin, which aids in clearing acne sores. Additional ingredients like vitamins A and E, along with essential minerals, help nourish, rebuild, and rejuvenate the skin. These minerals also neutralize toxic acids that contribute to inflammation within pores.
During cleansing or fasting, your skin may release more acid waste. The cream helps to minimize inflammation and prevent the spread of acne.
Boosting Your Cream’s Power:
Tea Tree Oil:
Enhance your cream by adding 5-10 drops of pure tea tree oil per two-ounce container. Adjust the amount to suit your skin’s needs, but do not exceed 15 drops. Tea tree oil possesses antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. It improves oxygen flow to skin cells, which helps eliminate bacteria and fungus while repairing acne-related damage.
Borage Oil:
Further enhance your acne cream with borage oil. Borage oil contains EPA and DHA, which can help regulate hormone imbalances that lead to excessive sebum production. During puberty, adrenal glands produce androgens, stimulating bone growth and sexual maturation. A byproduct of this process is increased oil production, potentially leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and cysts.
To use, puncture one or two borage oil capsules and mix the oil into your cream.
Neptune Krill Oil (NKO):
NKO is an alternative source of EPA and DHA. It may be preferable to borage oil because its phospholipid form allows for easier absorption by skin cells, compared to the triglyceride form found in borage oil. NKO doesn’t require refrigeration, but it is generally more expensive.
Caution:
Discontinue use if any rash or adverse skin reaction occurs.
In conclusion, a quality acne cream can be a valuable tool in clearing your acne. Enhance its effectiveness by incorporating tea tree oil, borage oil, or NKO oil.
