Since my early teens I had the occasional whitehead. This later cleared in my early 20s for a short period. In my mid 20s however I started getting regular daily whiteheads. A day didn't pass when a new spot would form. This progressed to multiple spots and occasional deep cysts. I am of Asian origin, male with coarse facial hair. I tired several facial products buying a new brand every week to try clear my skin. Each further irritated my skin made things worse.
The following is how I managed to clear my skin completely in under 2 weeks. I now have been spot free for over 4 months.
Try this if you suffer from mild/moderate acne, have thick facial hair and regular ingrown hairs.
1. Drink more water
2. Shaving: Philips One Blade, a hybrid razor like electric trimmer. This gave me a smooth irritation free shave with zero ingrown hairs and no skin irritation.
3. Face Wash: I used a brand called Simple from Boots. Cheap. No harsh chemicals. Wash only once a day at night.
4. Moisturiser: Neutrogena daily moisturiser. Light. Doesn't block pores.
5. BP: Every night I applied 5% BP. Just a thin layer. Since my skin has cleared I have switched to 2.5% to maintain.
Hi when you shave with the Phillips one blade do you wet shave with shaving cream or do you shave dry.
I recently bought one and decided to use it wet with shaving cream. Unfortunately for me acne broke out on my chin really bad 24 hours after shaving.
I'm wondering if I should have tried a dry shave instead. If you could let me know how you use this product that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Will
