Morning (2–3 minutes)

1. Wash your face
   Use a gentle face wash. Don’t scrub hard. Just massage it in for about 30 seconds and rinse.
   If you’re oily or get clogged pores, a face wash with a little salicylic acid can help.
   (Try: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser or La Roche-Posay Effaclar – available at MYDAWA/Goodlife)
2. Moisturize
   Yes, even if you have acne. Skipping moisturizer can actually make your skin produce more oil.
   Pick something light and non-greasy.
   (Try: CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream)
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
   This prevents dark marks from getting worse and protects healing skin.
   If you hate sunscreen, look for a lightweight or matte one.
   (Try: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Oil Control or Eucerin Oil Control – matte & non-greasy for humid weather)
   That’s it for the morning.

Night (3–5 minutes)

1. Wash your face
   Same cleanser as morning.
2. Apply ONE acne treatment
   Don’t use everything at once. Choose one:
   
   • Salicylic acid - good for clogged pores and blackheads
     (e.g., The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution or CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser)
   • Benzoyl peroxide - good for red, angry pimples
     (e.g., PanOxyl 4% or CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser – start low % to avoid dryness)
   • Adapalene - good for long-term acne control
     (e.g., Differin Gel 0.1% – OTC in many Kenyan pharmacies/online)
   Start using it 3–4 nights a week. If your skin handles it well, you can use it more often.
3. Moisturize again
   If your skin feels dry or irritated, apply moisturizer before and after your treatment (this helps reduce irritation).
   Use the same lightweight one as morning.
