When it comes to dealing with mild to moderate acne conditions, no other brand has gained as much popularity as Proactiv. Its 3-Step Skincare System composed of a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, are specially formulated with benzoyl peroxide to effectively treat and prevent acne by eliminating acne-causing bacteria trapped within the pores.
Although there is no doubt that this is effective, some acne conditions would require the use of supplementary products developed by Proactiv as part of its skincare product line. Proactiv Refining Mask is just one of these supplementary products. Apart from pulling away impurities that are found deep within the pores, this medicated mask also lifts away dead skin cell layers, allowing healthy skin cells to surface, improving your skin’s texture and tone.
Below are the steps on using Proactiv Refining Mask to treat your acne condition.
The first step is to cleanse your face. To do this, massage a pea-size amount of Proactiv’s Renewing Cleanser on your face in a circular motion for about five minutes. Rinse this thoroughly with warm water. Pat your face dry with a dry, clean towel.
Step 2. Apply a quarter-size amount of Proactiv’s Refining Mask all over the face, avoiding the eye area. Massage this into the face in a circular motion for five minutes, concentrating on the forehead, nose and chin areas. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, rinse this out using warm water. Gently rub your face to completely remove the refining mask. Using a clean towel, pat your face dry.
Step 4. With a cotton ball, apply Proactiv’s Revitalizing Toner and allow this to dry on the skin before applying a pea-size amount of Proactiv’s Repairing Lotion all over the face, avoiding again the eye area.
For best results, use the Proactiv Refining Mask as a supplement to the 3-Step Skincare System once every two weeks, or as your dermatologist prescribed.
