Band-Aids |
Aquaphor |
Witch Hazel |
Cotton Balls |
Step 1: Do a nightly cleansing with a gentle cleanser. Moisturize as needed.
Step 2: Using some Witch Hazel on a cotton ball, massage the cystic acne in a circular motion for about five minutes.
Step 3: Apply an amount of Aquaphor to a Band-aid. The amount should be comparable to the size of the cystic acne, as closely as you can determine.
Step 4: Wait until the area is dry and apply the Band-aid so the Aquaphor is sitting atop the cystic acne.
Step 5: Apply other Band-Aids as needed to keep the original one in place.
Step 6: Sleep with your bandage on overnight.
Step 7: Cleanse and repeat Step 2 in the morning.
Step 8: Repeat this whole process nightly. You will notice that this speeds the healing process exponentially.
You can also apply a thin layer of ointment to the acne during the day. It is possible to layer a concealer over the ointment but you may have better luck using simply a thin layer of ointment and loose powder to cover. (Don't worry too much about covering, because this will be gone soon.)
Good Luck!
