So after my last post about Hydrocolloid dressing to heal pimples overnight, I've had a lot of questions on how to actually use it. Here's my method...
1. At the end of your day, shower or wash your face and dry it thoroughly.
2. Cut Hydrocolloid dressing to size to cover the entire pimple with a little overlap onto your skin.
3. Apply the dressing and place your finger over top of it to warm it up for 30 seconds.
4. Leave it on and go to sleep.
5. In the morning, remove the dressing and shower/wash your face as normal.
*Note* If you're acne prone, after the shower, dry your face and rub half a lime all over your face, leave on for 1 minute, wash off, dry your face and apply your dressing. You can do this in the morning and night.
So I've been suffering from acne for about 4 years now. I've tried topical creams and pills...including Accutane! While the Accutane did get rid of my breakouts, it also cause a lot of stress on my liver which is now causing me to break out again. I've gotten to the point where I don't fight with my skin, I just kind of let it do it's thing......until now!
So I'm just going to get right to it, Hydrocolloid bandages! That's it. That's the miracle cure. I was online researching skin products and came across these Nexcare acne patches. These patches were getting rave reviews from everyone. I didn't read a single negative review. Because it's not sold in Canada, I started to research the technology and why these patches work. Basically, these patches are just Hydrocolloid bandages cut into circles. Hydrocolloid bandages are actually used for blisters, burns, cuts and bruises to suck all of the nasty stuff out of the wound. I got to my closest drug store and picked some up to test out this little miracle. All I have to say is that THEY WORK!
I cut the bandage to size and applied it to one of my cystic breakouts. After one night, it shrunk the spot about 20%, after the second night it shrunk about 90% in size!
Needless to say, these bandages are going to be a staple in my medicine cabinet!
Try it out and see how you like it.
