Learn the correct steps to apply Baxter's OIL FREE MOISTURIZER for acne-prone skin without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
Quick answer
Apply Baxter OIL FREE MOISTURIZER to clean, damp skin using gentle upward strokes, focusing on dry areas and avoiding the T-zone.
Why oil-free matters for acne-prone skin
Acne-prone skin needs hydration without added oils that can clog pores. Baxter's OIL FREE MOISTURIZER uses a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula that hydrates without leaving a greasy residue. This helps maintain the skin barrier while reducing the risk of breakouts.
Step-by-step application guide
- Cleanse and pat dry: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, then pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Do not rub, as this can irritate acne lesions. Applying moisturizer to slightly damp skin helps lock in hydration.
- Dispense a pea-sized amount: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of Baxter OIL FREE MOISTURIZER onto your fingertips. Using too much can feel heavy and may increase shine. Start with less; you can always add more if needed.
- Apply to dry areas first: Dot the moisturizer onto your cheeks, jawline, and any other dry spots. Avoid the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) if it tends to be oily. This targeted approach prevents over-hydrating already oily areas.
- Gently press and smooth: Using your ring and middle fingers, gently press the moisturizer into your skin with upward, outward strokes. Do not rub vigorously, as this can spread bacteria. Gentle pressing minimizes irritation and helps the product absorb evenly.
- Wait before applying other products: Allow the moisturizer to absorb for at least 60 seconds before applying sunscreen or makeup. This prevents pilling and ensures each layer works effectively. Patience improves the finish and efficacy of your routine.
