MORNING REGIME

Step 1: Facewash

Removing excess oils, dust, dirt, and pollutants from your face is essential. However, your face should not feel dry and stretched after face wash. You can wash your face a maximum of three times a day. You can choose from the following list based on your skin type:

Here are a few brand suggestions: 

 

Step 2: Moisturise

Avoid moisturizer, because treatment products and sunscreen should be enough to provide hydration. However, because of using treatment products your skin gets dry, then apply COSRX AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer only on dry areas of skin. Avoid your T zone if it is oily and sticky.

Step 3: Morning treatment product

Apply Naturium Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5% skin-lightening cream on the entire face to reduce pigmented scars. It contains Kojic acid, Alpha arbutin, and tranexamic acid, which are highly effective in reducing post-acne brown spots. Repeat application of the same product at night on dark spots after applying retinol on the full face.

 

Step 4: Sunscreen

Thick sunscreen can increase acne. Therefore, use a lightweight sunscreen in gel or fluid form. Re-apply it 30 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Avoid using sunscreen indoors to avoid unnecessary clogging of pores.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Facial Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen is a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen with at least SPF 50.

In addition, avoid heavy makeup or layering of products. You can put lightweight makeup on top of the sunscreen.

NIGHT REGIME

Step 1: Micellar water

Remove makeup with micellar water. 

Step 2: Facewash

Same as morning.

Step 3: Moisturise

Same as morning.

Step 4 Treatment Product

Apply Olay Regenerist Retinol 24-Night Serum on full face. Retinol in this reduces oil secretion, open pores, and acne while delaying the signs of aging.  While Niacinamide reduce inflammation and pigmentation.

 

WEEKLY REGIME

Step 1: Scrub

We do not recommend using scrub if you have any active acne on face. Once your acne subsides so that you have few bumps here and there, then start using scrub once or twice a week. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Face Scrub has Green Tea & Bamboo, Salicylic Acid to reduce your zits.

Step 2: Face pack

Apply a clay-based face mask once a week to absorb excess oil and purify your skin. St Ives Mask Sheets for brightening effect.
