Below are some alternatives to the Zit free skin care routine.
Cleanse: Try cleansing twice per day with Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash (32 oz. for $11.99). If that doesn’t work, switch to something with salcylic acid such as CVS Oil Free Cream Cleanser ($4.49) or pull out the big guns with DERMAdoctor Ain’t Misbehavin’ Medicated AHA/BHA Acne Cleanser ($25.00).
Treat: For spot treatment, use Burt’s Bees Herbal Blemish Stick ($7.99).
Moisturize: Change to a different oil free moisturizer. I like Ambi Clear & Even Daily Moisturizer ($11.99) with SPF 30.
Deep Clean Pores: Acne starts with clogged pores. Keep pores clean by using a mask once per week such as Queen Helene Mud Mask ($3.99).
Exfoliate: Dead skin on top of clogged pores is also a recipe for breakouts. For confirmation, see this Exfoliation Basics article from About.com. Exfoliate at least twice per week with Clean & Clear Daily Pore Cleanser ($4.99) or Garnier Nutritioniste Microbead Cream Scrub ($5.99).
