Good skin care. Make it a habit.

We all want flawless skin. Although it might look effortless, for most people it takes a good skin care routine to achieve and maintain a clear, balanced complexion. The trick is to be realistic and to be consistent. Find a skin care routine that meets your needs and fits your lifestyle.

Here are a few tips:

Cleanse twice a day - In the morning and at night. You might also want to wash your face before and after physical activity such as working out or team practices.

Moisturize every day - Try it at night to start. For many acne sufferers, using a moisturizer seems like the last thing you want to do. (Especially if your skin is oily to begin with.) The truth is that using a quality, non-comedogenic moisturizer (like OXY® Clinical Hydrating Therapy) actually helps your skin maintain its moisture balance, so you aren't overproducing the oil that can cause breakouts. 

Treat breakouts consistently - Depending on the product, an acne treatment can be applied to the whole face (as with OXY® Clinical Clearing Treatment) or just to the place of the breakout (as with OXY® Maximum Spot Treatment). Treatments can be used on active breakouts as well as helping to prevent future blemishes.

Some other important tips:

  Give it time. There's no doubt that you can see fast improvement with OXY® products, but they work best when used over time. Although everyone is different, most people won't see optimal results for a few weeks or even a few  months.

Stick with it. Many people wrongly believe that a product worked for them "at first" but then "stopped working." Frequently this occurs because once blemishes start to clear up, people aren't as diligent about maintaining their skin care routines. OXY® has products designed to treat, heal and help prevent acne. So you can use them to fight breakouts and to maintain clear skin too.

Make your skin care a priority. Too often we are too busy to take time for ourselves. We forget to wash our faces before going to bed. Or we skip a treatment because we're rushing out the door. Make the commitment and find the time to stick to a simple skin care routine. After all, you're worth the effort!
