After finishing the evening skincare routine, use a small amount of Mario Badescu Drying Lotion by soaking a cotton swab on the pink sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Then, apply it directly to affected areas (zits, comedones, and clusters of surface blemishes), on the face or body. Avoid shaking and mixing the two visible phases of the product. Then, close the bottle and let the applied product air dry. Make sure to rinse the area the morning after performing the treatment. Do not use it on skin that is already healed, bleeding or broken. If it accidentally gets in the eye area, immediately remove it with abundant water.
