Hot to Get Clear Skin
Roughly 10 years ago, at my wits end one evening, I stood holding a tube of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide while looking in the mirror at new pimples that had shown up that day and I felt pretty desperate. Choosing this kind of Regimen, I had nothing to lose and I can keep my skin clear, so I applied a lot more than usual, in a vain attempt to rid the new spots. I went to bed and hoped for the best. I woke up the next morning and my skin looked a lot better. I thought it must have been a fluke but day after day of using plenty of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide my spots faded. Over the following weeks, as I perfected the process, my skin finally cleared completely.
step 1
Gentle face wash to get your skin clear: A gentle face wash will help prepare to clear your skin for benzoyl peroxide. Removing surface oils allows the benzoyl peroxide to penetrate more easily. Washing very gently helps avoid irritation. While scientists and doctors do not know exactly what causes acne, we do know that irritation alone can make it worse.
step 2
Plenty of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide oxygenates skin. Acne bacteria cannot live in oxygenated environments. Benzoyl peroxide is also a mild drying and peeling agent which is thought to help keep pores from clogging. On the Regimen you'll be using 2.5% benzoyl peroxide because clinical studies have shown it is just as effective as 5% and 10% but much less irritating. Remember, irritation alone can aggravate acne. I found that using lots of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is incredibly effective. Why apply so much? Nobody knows for sure why this works so amazingly well but myself and thousands of others have had great success using this method. My theory is that applying more simply allows it to penetrate more deeply into the skin.
