Cleanse 2 times a day
With a gentle cleanser to avoid further irritation. We suggest iS Clinical's Cleansing Complex as it's gentle for even the most sensitive skin type.

Remember to moisturize
Don't be afraid to moisturize. This keeps the skin hydrated but most importantly acts as a barrier to friction from your mask. The key is picking the right one. What you need is a moisturizer that controls oil production and offers hydration.
Avoid Makeup
Give your skin a break from any potentially pore clogging products. Besides all we see are your beautiful eyes so play those up a little.
ALWAYS wear a clean mask
