Have you committed the seven deadly skincare sins?
1. Thou shalt not pick your spots
Turn your back on temptation! If you pick your spots, you could spread the infection, making your skin worse. Indeed, so deadly is this sin that it could even leave you with scars. Stop! Squeeze not your spots! Instead squeeze some Clearasil Ultra on to the offending area and practice that all-important virtue: patience. In just three days, you’ll have visibly clearer skin.
2. Thou shalt not wait until you have spots
Think before you act! Even as a stitch in time saves nine, so a preventative regime can save you from much grief. Don’t wait until the spot is there to blitz it. Use an effective cleanser from the Clearasil range twice a day and let your troubles melt away.
3. Thou shalt not be slapdash in your use of spot care creams
Use anti-spot care products regularly and often! If you only apply spot care creams two or three times a week it’s not going to work as well. Clearasil treatment products are designed to work for up to twelve hours. So to get the most from them, it’s best to apply them consistently two or three times a day. Remember, you can only control spots; you can’t cure them.
4. Thou shalt not use the wrong products
Sort it out! If you’ve got blackheads, then don’t waste time using any old spot cream. Use a product that’s specially formulated for your specific problem! Try the Clearasil Blackhead Control range. Designed for everyday use to help you achieve visibly clearer skin, Clearasil Blackhead Control products have exfoliating properties to help clear blackheads and a purifying action to help prevent blackheads from forming. They also contain natural sea salt, a mineral that’s been used for centuries to help draw out skin impurities, lock in moisture and promote skin health.
5. Thou shalt not skip moisturiser even if your skin is oily
Make not this mistake! Cleansing – even with water – dries out the skin. So use a moisturiser to restore your skin’s natural moisture balance and protect it from irritation and infection. To guarantee your moisturiser’s friend, not foe, use a non-comedogenic moisturiser (a moisturiser that doesn’t block your pores).
6. Thou shalt not smoke
Never commit this cardinal sin! A single cigarette can mean less oxygen gets to your skin for up to 90 minutes, leading to dull, grey, thinning skin. Already a smoker? Sin no more and shun ageing skin and premature wrinkles!
7. Thou shalt not bury your head in the sand – or a paper bag
Face up to the facts! If you’ve got a serious spot problem don’t suffer in silence. Sort it out by speaking to your doctor. There’s lots that they can do to help, including prescribe you medicine you can’t get over the counter.
