Before learning about Lush I had used many different acne fighting
creams and pads. I have oily skin, and when one has oily skin, if the
problem is not taken care of the oil will clog pores, and cause break
outs.
Clearasil had always been a product I had used since my childhood, and
when you are young, you are not wise to the proper care to your face.
Even after using all of these creams and pads, with no results, I began
to wonder why. As time goes on, and one grows wiser, you learn that you
have oily acne prone skin because you are working too hard at solving
the problem.
My problem was oily skin, and I would always use the harsh clearasil
StayClear Acne Fighting Pads. These pads did the trick for the time
being; they would clean off any dirt, and remove all oil. However
excessively using them would cause my skin to parch out, and become even
more oily.
The fact of the matter was I needed to use moisturizer. Who would of
thought that someone with oily skin needed moisturizer. Well thats the
fact gals and guys, you are not going to get rid of oily skin by
stripping your face with harsh alcohol chemicals. A simple moisturized
will do the trick.
Anyhow, I am not here to discuss how to get acne free skin, I'm here to discuss the Clearasil StayClear Acne Fighting Pads.
These pads are small circular white pads with a soft side and a rough
side. The formula these pads are saturated in, are supposed to help
fight acne...but it doesn't say it will stop it from forming...remember
that before you buy a jar of them for $6.00.
I usually would go through a jug of about 60 pads in less than 3
weeks. I used them in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, when I
was hot, when I needed to remove make up. I basically used them too damn
much, and as a result I ended up with break outs and oily skin. I
assumed the product was crap, because it was apparent they were not
working.
After over use of the pads, my skin would get really dry, and flaky,
and a few hours after the dry feeling, my skin would begin to sweat
beads of oil off of my nose! Uch! It turns out the oil was forming to
try and moisturize my face.
Anyway, after learning the proper way to care for my face, I figured I
would teach you acne amateurs out there the proper way to use these
StayClear pads.
We are going to start off with a clean slate, you are to wipe away the
thought of using these pads every hour. That is not their intent.
The best way to use these pads starts off with a simple washing to the
face using a facial cleanser. Keep in mind that this facial cleanser
does NOT have to contain acne fighting ingredients. A nice morning
citrus burst wash is always nice. After drying your face off you can now
gently wipe a Clearasil StayClear Acne Fighting pad across your
forehead, nose, and other acne prone areas. Do not use the rough
abrasive side to the pad, use the soft side.
After doing that and allowing the formula to dry, now add a
moisturizing facial lotion. Allow the area to dry, and now you may apply
your makeup.
You will find that by following a few simple steps you are beginning
to walk a road to a clearer healthier face. You will find that your face
will have less shine than ever before.
You see Clearasil StayClear has the potential to rid your face of oil
and acne for good, if you just use it the correct way. Scraping away all
oils and dirt every 15 minutes with these pads will only guarantee more
shine, and more break outs. It's just too bad they don't tell you that
on the bottle.
Follow these instructions after removing make up with your facial
soap, and before bed. Three times a day or less, is really all you need.
You do not need to spend excessive amounts of time working on
perfecting your skin. Moisturizer is truly the key, no matter what these
ridiculous acne fighting pads, creams, and glue dots say.
You will find that you will only need to do this every once in awhile,
and that your face will not produce hardly any oil after the fact.
Enjoy a healthier acne/oil free new glow!
