Clearasil – Ask the Experts

 The seven
deadly skincare
sins 

 Have you committed the seven
 deadly skincare sins? 

 1. Thou shalt not pick your pimples 

Turn your back on temptation! If you pick your pimples, 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 pimples! 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 pimples 

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 pimple is there to blitz it. Follow a preventive regime from Clearasil

 3. Thou shalt not be slapdash 
 in your use of pimple care creams 

Use anti-pimple care products regularly and often! If you only apply pimple 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 pimples; you can’t cure them.

 4. Thou shalt not use 
 the wrong products 

Sort it out! If you’ve got pimples, then don’t waste time using any cosmetic products. Use a product that’s specially formulated for your specific problem!.

 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 pimple 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.
