If you’ve ever dealt with an unexpected breakout, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. What may be even more frustrating is not knowing how to reduce the appearance of those unwanted blemishes quickly and effectively. This is where acne spot treatments come in handy. They are not only formulated specifically to reduce the look of pimples and acne breakouts, but they can do so almost instantly.
For those that deal with frequent breakouts, using a blemish spot solution is one of the most effective ways to rid the appearance of unwanted visitors that, from time to time, appear on the skin. If you’re using Spot Solution, it’s important to know when to use it. Why? The effectiveness of this product depends on how and when it’s applied.
We get it - it can be hard to determine at what point in your skincare routine to apply Spot Solution, which is why we’ve created this how-to guide for you. Here’s the best time in your skincare routine to use this product:
Morning Application:
Start with performing your normal morning skincare routine (cleanser, toner, day serum/moisturizer, sunscreen), and let the skin dry for 1-2 minutes
Dampen a cotton swab and gently wipe the affected area
Apply Spot Solution; let dry for 1-2 minutes
Proceed with your makeup application
The idea here is that you want the active ingredients in Spot Solution to penetrate beyond the surface of the skin, before the application of any makeup. Apply Spot Solution after your makeup application, for example, wouldn’t allow for this penetration.
Evening Application:
Start with performing your normal evening skincare routine (cleanser, toner, activators, moisturizer), and let the skin dry for 1-2 minutes
Ensure all leftover reside from your makeup is removed completely
Dampen a cotton swab and gently wipe the affected area
Apply Spot Solution; let dry for 1-2 minutes
The most important thing to remember here is that any leftover makeup can alter the product’s effectiveness, so ensure a thorough cleansing routine before applying Spot Solution.
How Much Product Should I Use?
When it comes to Spot Solution, a little goes a long way. Less than a pea-sized amount of Spot Solution, when applied to the affected area, will give it a concentrated boost of ingredients that help with hydration, exfoliation and the reduction of the look of inflamed skin.
If you use too much: Using too much of any product leaves active ingredients sitting on your skin. Some, such as Spot Solution, can lead to stinging or peeling if used in excess.
If you use too little: Even just a little bit of Spot Solution will improve the look of your skin, but it will take longer to see results.
So, there you have it. Knowing the perfect time to apply your Spot Solution, as well as how much to apply will give you maximized results in the quest for beautiful, blemish-free skin.
