You may be aware of three main types of skin: normal, oily, and dry. Normal skin is resilient, dry skin requires moisture, and oily skin produces excess natural oils. Home remedies work for mild cases, but severe acne may require medical treatment. Combination skin is a mixture of oily and dry, which I personally have. Knowing your skin type is crucial for effective treatment.
Morning Skincare Routine
Start by washing your face with a medicated acne bar for 3 months, then switch to an oil control cleanser. Follow with rose water as toner and a medicated SPF 50 sunblock. Avoid heavy makeup. For more tips, read our guide on removing head lice.
Afternoon Care
Wash your face with the same bar. Apply calamine lotion (pink) to the pimples only. This helps reduce inflammation and redness while turning into a powder to shrink pimples.
Night Skincare Routine
Wash your face with the acne bar, then apply an oil-free moisturizer or natural oils (coconut, almond, jojoba, olive). Massage gently in circular motions, avoiding squeezing pimples. For injured pimples, use fusidic acid cream or calamine lotion. The key treatment is a combination of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. I use Clingard gel (5% benzoyl peroxide + 1% clindamycin). Clinagel is another effective option.
Additional Tips
- Switch products every 3 months to prevent dryness and maintain elasticity.
- Sun protection is essential daily.
- Don’t touch your face with bare hands.
- Focus on treating active pimples first, then address leftover marks.
- Diet and lifestyle changes enhance treatment effectiveness.
Prevention is always better than cure.
