The 4 Golden Rules to Follow When Applying Acne Creams
Basically there are two types
of acne treatment in common
use. The first is one you
apply to your skin (topical)
and the second is the sort
you swallow (tablets). Your
medical advisor will assess
which type is best suited
for you. This article is about
maximising the effectiveness
of topical acne treatments.
Too many of us only reach
for these treatments when
we feel a spot is about to
erupt, hoping for a miracle
to occur instantly. Unfortunately
all topical (creams, lotions,
gels) require time, and your
patience in order to be effective.
You are setting yourself up
for failure, if you apply
the cream to a tiny spot waiting
for it to disappear. Here
are the 4 golden rules you
should follow, if you want
to make the most of your topical
acne treatments:
1.Apply the cream liberally
to all areas affected by the
acne, even when there are
no spots visible. Acne creams
work below the surface and
help prevent new spots from
forming.
2.Applying more cream does
not result in faster results.
The only real consequence
of doing this is a likely
adverse reaction from your
skin, making it look red and
inflamed.
3.Acne creams often cause
the skin to become dry and
red. If this happens to you,
get yourself an oil-free moisturiser
and apply it on top of the
acne treatment. Wait about
20mins before applying the
moisturiser to allow the treatment
to be fully absorbed into
the skin.
4.If you plan to wear make-up
over the treatments, make
sure it is oil-free or 'acne-friendly'.
Some make-up manufacturers
label this specific type of
product as being 'non-comedogenic',
which may help you identify
suitable products. Of course
you must ensure you remove
all your make-up before you
apply your acne treatment
at night.
If you follow these simple
guidelines, you'll dramatically
improve your chances of effectively
treating your acne with topical
treatments. Remember this
type of treatment does not
result in instant results.
