OK, so you're not perfect. But you can avoid making these three common acne-treatment mistakes;
MISTAKE #1: SCRUBBING
Using a washcloth or sponge to scrub the heck out of your face won't get rid of your acne. That's because the makeup, dirt, and oils on top of oyur skin don't really affect what's going on in your hair folicles, where the zits form. SO use your hands to wash. Four plashes should get all the soap off. On days when you're not using your acne medicated cleansers, wash with a gentle bar soap. Try Dove beauty bar. It own't irritate your skin.
MISTAKE#2: OVERUSING PRODUCTS
If your acne-fighter doesn't seem to be working, don't slather on more than recommended or apply more often than instructed. It will only dry out your skin.
MISTAKE#3: GIVING UP TOO SOON
Acne won't disappear overnight. You have to be a patient patient. Doctors find that the biggest mistake acne sufferers make is bailing on their treatment when they'r enot seeing results as quickly as they'd like. You need to give a regimen at least eight eeks your acne is not clearing up. Try a different regimen or see a dermatologist.
