How to apply DIY acne gel

• Cleanse your face with your face cleanser.
• Now put your clean face towel in hand held hot water and soak it.
• Wring out the face towel, and place the hot cloth over your face for a couple of minutes. This will open pores to make the gel go inside the pores and heals acne from inside.

• If needed, apply moisturizer when the gel has completely penetrated into the skin.
