hi all! recently i’ve been trying new spot treatments to maintain my clear skin, and oh my god have they worked. this one is amazing. so, i’ve seen a lot of youtubers and influencers use the mario badescu drying lotion but that stuff costs $14 for a super tiny bottle. it didn’t really seem worth it to me because i’ve seen a lot of people have mixed reviews. anyway, i decided to google the ingredients and found that i already owned the two main ingredients, so i made my own haha. i’m sure this has been done before so i don’t take credit for this idea!
here are the ingredients for the spot treatment and a summary of my current skincare routine:
ingredients:
-benzoyl peroxide acne treatment cream (i used the kroger/ralph’s brand)
-calamine lotion
steps:
-i wash my face with a bar of dove sensitive skin soap and then pat it dry
-i then moisturize my skin with the cetaphil moisturizing cream (it comes in a tub)
-after that i apply a pea-sized amount of the benzoyl peroxide cream to my finger and dab it onto any blemishes
-next i put some calamine lotion onto a q-tip and then dot that onto the aforementioned spots and any red areas (example in picture)
-i sleep with the spot treatment on overnight and rinse it off when i wake up
honestly this has done wonders for my skin haha, and i hope it helps someone else!
