Hi, my name is Jamie Hoover with Faceitjamie.com, and this is how to clear up acne for uneven skin. The tools that you will need for this are a drying cream. So, if you want to clear up breakouts, the most important thing is cleansing your skin every single night. You want to make sure to get a really good cleanser or makeup wipes are nice. If you feel like you're not going to make it into the bathroom to cleanse your skin, just keep makeup wipes by your bed and at least wipe off your makeup every single night and that's probably the most important thing. After that, you could use a moisturizer just to rehydrate your skin. You can also add things like an acne clearing treatment which I will demonstrate. This is a drying cream which is really nice if you get breakouts here or there. Just do it after you cleanse your skin and it's going to help clear it up over night. You're going to take your drying cream and you're going to apply it anywhere you tend to get breakouts. I tend to get it around the chin area and my forehead so I'll apply a little bit right in that area and you want to make sure to do this on a cleansed face and don't do it all over because this will make your skin dry. Let me do a little bit up in here, and as you can see, it's going to show up so make sure to just do this only at night and then wash your face in the morning. Another helpful hint is to use a good exfoliant while you're in the shower, and that will help to clear up acne and uneven skin as well, get it right around here and then you would just go to bed with this on, sleep all night and wash it off in the morning and then put a light moisturizer over your skin just to rehydrate. My name is Jamie Hoover with Faceitjamie.com and that was how to clear up acne for uneven skin using a drying cream. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you.
