Facial treatment for acne and blackheads

I want to be prim and proper, so said the unilag babe. Am tired of all these pimples and black head. Everything is wrong with my face. OMG!!! What do i do now?
Babe, calm down and listen. You will be prim and proper but then it’s a process. Do you have a face wash? Do you have a facial scrub? Do you have a face cleanser? If no, you need all these and if yes, how do you use them?
4 steps involved: wash, scrub, clean and apply.
Wash your face twice each day in order to keep your skin clear. Avoid using bar soaps to clean your face as they will dry it out and are not pH balanced. Use lukewarm water to wash. You wash your face to remove dirt and sebum but without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Face washes remain the best. Face is the mirror of the body. To maintain face hygiene, face washes have an important role to play. Choose judiciously.
After washing, scrub with a facial scrub. Face scrub is an exfoliation product which has been designed specifically for use on the face. Do not use generic scrub but face scrub because the face is more delicate than skin on other parts of the body and some of them may be too harsh for use on the face. Scrubs work by removing dead skin, leaving behind a layer of younger, healthier skin behind. Regular use of an exfoliant can keep skin smooth and glowing by constantly expressing new skin. Many scrub also include moisturizers so they nourish the skin while removing dead skin. A number of things can be used as an exfoliant in a face scrub e.g groundnut shells, bamboo fibres, oatmeal, sugar and fruit pulp. You can apply by hand or cosmetics pad, either ways, rub gently.
Facial scrub is used for both acne and wrinkles. It allows cream, facial and acne treatment more effective by allowing it to penetrate skin cells easier instead of being wasted on the dead cells that can block absorption. Do not use face scrub too often as they can leave the skin feeling tight and absolutely worst case, thin the skin. For the first week use facial scrub everyday and thereafter, use thrice a week.
After scrubbing, clean with a face cleanser. Face cleanser helps keep the skin clean by removing dirt, sweat, excess sebum, bacteria and any other pollutant. Face wash and face cleanser will do the same but you use face wash before scrubbing and face cleanser after scrubbing.
Apply acne cream once a day preferably at night after using the cleanser. Acne cream like tretinoin cream(retin A cream) can be used. Tretinoin cream is a form of vitamin A used for tropical treatment of acne vulgaris. Another cream that can be used for acne treatment is benzoyl periode marketed under the brand name clearzit, clearex 10, oxy 10 etc. Both tretinoin and benzoyl perioxide cream can be used concurrently but not mixed together.
These are basically what you need to do to control your acne and blackhead but wait a minute, you don’t just use any product on your skin in the name of ‘i want to look good’, you might end up hurting yourself. Before you get any skin product, know your skin type. Do you know your skin type? Watch out for the various skin types we have and the best skin product you can use on them.
