RULE 1

Wash your face only twice per day, morning and evening. Excess washing can cause irritation. You want to be as kind to your skin as possible. Use lukewarm water.

RULE 2

Use only your bare hands to wash. A washcloth is irritating. Gently wash your face with slow, circular motions. Don't scrub! Scrubbing will cause skin irritation, redness, or breakouts.

RULE 3

Gently pat dry. Do not rub dry. Rubbing the skin is irritating, and excess irritation can lead to more acnes.
