   Run a wash cloth under hot water and immediately press it onto your face.The water and steam will really help clean the dirt from your pores. This also opens your pores, making it easier to clean them. Be careful that the water is not too hot when doing this.

   Wash your hands well with an antibacterial soap. You can't wash your faceeffectively with dirty hands. You're merely putting all the germs on your hands onto your face. If you have a cleanser (or just some good antibacterial soap), wash your face after you remove the cloth. This time, apply the cleanser without wetting your face first. Make a tiny "puddle" in your hands, squirt the cleanser in the puddle, put your hands together and wash your face. Don't rinse your face in cold water afterwards, just rinse in warm water and pat dry, but not completely dry. This is your cleansing part. If you don't have cleanser, then just use plain water. .

   Get 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir so it's like a thin paste, and add one more tablespoon of sugar. Stir again and drain out some of the water. Then get your hands wet and then rub them on your face so you have a little bit of water on your face. Then scoop up the sugar and water and put it on one of your cheeks. Scoop again and put it on the same cheek. Then rub the sugar in circular motions on your cheek for 60 seconds. Then rinse off and repeat for the other cheek and forehead. This is your exfoliator.

   Get about ten drops of lemon juice on your hands after you wash your face.Smear on your face for ten seconds, but be careful. Lemon juice is strong and if it burns only keep it on for three seconds. It breaks down the dirt in your pores that the cleanser missed. This is your "toner".

   Splash cold water on your face or rub an ice cube on your face. The reason this is last is because if you weren't following the directions earlier and splashed cold water on your face, your pores will have closed. The water is like a key to your pores; hot water unlocks, cold water locks. Doing all of these steps with open pores will get almost all of the dirt and bacteria out, thus keeping your skin clear. Doing this everyday for a week will bring you happy, healthy, pretty skin!

6. Tips

   • Even when you get clear skin, its a pretty good idea to stick to this routine every night so you can be sure that you'll keep your skin clear. After a while the routine doesn't seem like much (it really isn't) and you'll be looking forward to it!
   • If you take really warm/hot showers that give off steam then that will open up pores too.
   • Don't forget to moisturize your skin - especially if you are prone to dry skin, or depending on the weather. Use an SPF of 15 or higher whenever possible. Your future, younger looking self will be thankful.
   • Never use herbal products before or after using any chemical containing cleansers or scrubs. It causes skin to burn and itch.
   • Don't use toothpaste, it will only make a scar appear on your face once the spot is gone, so there is no point, really.
   • Don't over wash your face. You don't want it to go dry or else it will hurt and you feel roughness. And you will probably regret this. Just make it circular motions. Or just leave the face towel to your face for 30 seconds to avoid harm to your skin.
   • Don't pick on your face too much while having pimples! This can cause scars and create more spots from the oil on your hands.
   • Get enough sleep at night, as the skin renews itself while you are sleeping.
   • Don't touch your face when you don't need to. That transfers bacteria which can increase the amount of spots you get.
   • For smooth skin, smear olive oil as well as plain yogurt on your face once a week.
