We are all aware of how the acne struggle is real and how important it is to take care of our skin. Whether you struggle with adult acne, teen acne, hormonal acne, or just the occasional breakout– a solid skincare routine is a key to keeping your skin clear and happy.

The good news is that you don’t need a 10-step skincare routine (who has the time for that?) to achieve clear skin. In fact, a simple 3-step skincare routine can be just as effective at preventing and treating breakouts.

Here’s a breakdown of a simple 3-step skincare routine for clear skin:

Step One: Cleansing

The goal of a face wash is to remove dirt, makeup, and oil that has built up on your skin throughout the day. It’s important to use a gentle face wash that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Avoid all face wash with harsh ingredients like sulfates, alcohol, and fragrances. Such ingredients can actually irritate and dry out your skin, making acne worse. Try to find a face wash with natural ingredients such as chamomile or tea tree oil.

If you have acne-prone skin, check out the Clarifying Acne Face Wash by Keeva Organics. This face wash uses natural essential oils to fight acne-causing bacteria and soothe inflammation. Tea tree oil, its main ingredient, is a natural antiseptic that has been shown to be effective at treating acne.

How to apply it?

We recommend that you apply it twice per day, in the morning and in the evening before bed. Add 3 pumps of face wash into your hand and add warm water. Then use a circular motion to massage the face wash cream for 30 seconds while avoiding getting it into your eyes or mouth. Be sure to use a gentle motion as aggressive scrubbing can irritate your skin. Finally, rinse with warm water and gently pat dry. Voilà, you are ready for the next step!

Step Two: Treatment Cream

The second step is to apply an acne cream to your overall face area. Acne creams work by treating acne from the inside out as well as dark spots and scars that have already developed. For best results, it is important to find a cream that contains natural ingredients which increase cell turnover and help to unclog pores and reduce acne scars.

If you are looking for a natural option, try the Tea Tree Oil Acne Cream by Keeva Organics. While there are so many over-the-counter acne treatments, most of them contain harsh chemicals that can actually make your acne worse. This Tea Tree Oil Acne Cream uses a combination of organic ingredients such as sesame seed oil, rosehip seed oil, and olive oil making it an all-in-one powerhouse.

Sesame seed oil delivers essential fatty acids that nourish the skin while rosehip seed oil contains Vitamin C, which brightens the skin and reduces the appearance of scars. Lastly, olive oil contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage.

How to apply it?

Before applying the acne cream, make sure your skin is clean and dry (refer to step one above!). Then, take a small dab of the acne cream and dot it on your face in areas where you are experiencing acne. Using your fingers, gently massage the cream into your skin in a circular motion until it is fully absorbed. We recommend using the acne cream two times per day for best results. Now that you have applied the acne cream, you are ready for the last and final step!

Step Three: Moisturizing

The third and final step is to apply a serum to your face. This step is important as it helps to restore moisture to your skin and protect it from the environment. Some people with acne-prone skin avoid using a serum because they think it will make their skin oily. However, this is not the case! A good quality serum actually helps to regulate sebum production and can prevent your skin from overproducing oil.

One of our favorite serums for acne-prone skin is Keeva’s Tea Tree Oil Serum. This serum is made of tea tree oil, vegetable glycerin, chamomile, grape seed extract, and hyaluronic acid.  Chamomile and grape seed extract are both natural anti-inflammatories that help to heal the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisture-binding ingredient that helps to keep the skin hydrated.

How to apply it?

To use the serum, simply dispense 1-2 drops onto your fingertip and then massage it into the problem areas allowing it a few moments to absorb. It can be used morning and evening and you won’t have to worry about it clogging your pores.
