Morning Protocol

So as I'm sure you guys have all been waiting for (not really) I have my morning protocol. This routine is straight from the AcneNoMore program and I don't own any rights and I am not a doctor or dermatologist. But after those disclaimers, enjoy.

1. As you wake up, steam your face for five minutes while having a towel like a tent around your head

2. Wash your face with a tea tree oil soap. This soap should be paraben free and as natural as you can get

3. Apply a clay mask for treating blackheads. Mix 1/4 of a tbsp apple cider vinegar with 3/4 tbsp of clay for the perfect amount for one person

4. Apply the secret baking soda mask. Even though the book calls it a mask it's really a gentle exfoliator. The scrub is made up of 1 cup baking soda, 3 tablespoons table salt and 1 tablespoon baking powder

5. Next, wash your body with a tea tree oil bodywash

6. Apply the apple cider vinegar regimen to any inflamed areas or spots. Mix 1 drop of apple cider vinegar with 9

7. Apply the tea tree oil regimen to any inflame areas or on spots. Never use 100% tea tree oil on your face as it will burn. Ideally, get 20% tea tree oil and apply it straight to your face. If it's more than that, mix it with jojoba oil to get a 1:4 ratio. For example, if you have 100% tea tree oil, mix one drop of that with 4 drops of jojoba oil drops of water and apply with a q-tip

8. Moisturize your face with aloe Vera gel or emu oil moisturizer

9. Follow the makeup and shaving guidelines. This is basically just using clean applicators when applying makeup and using clean razors when shaving and shaving in the direction of the hair

10. Take a sauna if on a holiday or on a detox plan

11. Take a ten minute sunbath

Good Luck
