How to Correctly Use LEROSETT®
100% Organic Clay Treatment
Using the mask & spot treatment
method to fight oily and problem skin.

How you use LEROSETT® is very important:

Common products for problem skin are usually applied twice a day regardless of skin condition. LEROSETT® 100% Organic Clay Treatment should be applied depending on your condition. During the initial clearing phase you need to be aggressive. Severe problem skin can take up to 3 masks per day, normal problem skin 1-2 masks per day. Once your skin is clear, a few masks per week and the occasional spot treatment will keep you clear.
There are an unlimited number of variables, but you will soon find the best method for you. Use less as your skin clears. We are here to help. Use the example photos as a guide.
LEROSETT® is a one step treatment. However, the hydroponically grown aloe based LEROSETT® Moisturizer and Healing Serum are not just hydrators. They're naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and minimize scarring. For best results we recommend that you use one of the LEROSETT® Organic Acne Systems.

Understand what causes your pimples:

The pimples you will have in 2-4 weeks are starting today because of seeding or clogs. To have clear skin in a few weeks (next pimple cycle) you must remove the clogs "seeding & impurities" today and that's where LEROSETT® comes in.

There are two ways to use LEROSETT®:

The dotting or "spot treatment" method is for removing individual pimples and for scar prevention after an extraction. You can stop a pimple in its tracks by dotting early and often. After an extraction spot treat often. This will close the opening effectively preventing scarring.

The mask "full facial or partial" method is to prevent and remove seeds, clogs, or micro-comedones. The beginning of your next pimple cycle in 3-4 weeks. Masking is also for oil absorption, general purging, detox and mineral infusion that cuts oil production and makes your skin super smooth. If you only spot treat, that won't prevent pimples in areas you have not used the clay, so mask often and moisturize as needed. It all depends on your skin type, condition, where in the initial clearing phase you are and how often you clay.

General Directions:

General use for normal "oily skin" to severe problem skin
Adjust your use depending on your condition and progress. See example case studies and continue daily until your skin clears.

• Mask: For the first few days use a full mask once or twice a day to kick start the purging process. Remove mask when dry 10-15 minutes. Masking will also start to infuse minerals that minimize oil "sebum" production, inflammation, redness and bacterial growth. Its not how thick, its how often. Applying thin masks often is much more effective than a few thick masks. A thick mask won't absorb more than a thin mask, so go thin and often and just moisturize if your skin gets dry.
  
  Please Note: During the initial clearing phase you must use a full mask 1-3 times every day and spot treat too. Do not skip days.
  
  Tip: If you're in a hurry, rub the clay into your skin. It will go in deeper and dry faster.
• For best results: Be aggressive in the beginning, (1st week or two). You need to purge your skin of impurities and detox leftover chemicals. (This may be too much for some and not enough for others).
  
• As your complexion improves, gradually decrease use to a few masks per week. Infusing minerals plays a large role in preventing the return of problem skin so masking will need to be done a few times per week, long term, to keep oil production to a minimum.
• Spot treat: Spot treat individual pimples as needed. The earlier the better and you can spot treat overnight. You can spot treat several times a day, just remove when dry or convenient.
  
  If you have to extract a pimple, wait until the main drainage is over. Use a cotton ball for drainage, then spot treat the extraction point several times and sleep with the spot treatment. This will absorb remaining liquids, infection, and help close the opening, preventing a scab thereby minimizing potential scarring. LEROSETT® Clay can be used as a drying paste.
• Moisturize: The aloe based LEROSETT® Moisturizer "Moisture Matte" or LEROSETT® Healing Serum are oil-free, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and will hydrate your skin, minimizing the redness and swelling from pimples etc. while adding the nutrients that help the natural healing process.
• For the best overall outcome use the entire LEROSETT® 3 or 4 part system. Never give up or quit, you will eventually reach a clear point. It's just that simple.

Even if you have normal skin with no blemishes a few masks per week will prevent oiliness while infusing important minerals.

Your skin will also feel noticeably softer and smoother.

I don't have time for all these masks!:

Sure you do and here's how. As soon as you wake up put on a thin layer of clay. Let it dry while you make your coffee and take it off in the shower. At night, put on a thin mask and let it dry while you brush your teeth. Thats it, two masks a day with minimal impact on your life.
Speed Tip: Rub the clay into your skin, it will go deeper and dry faster. If you're in a real hurry, use a hair dryer. (On cool, don't burn yourself).

You can stop a pimple before it starts:

Dot LEROSETT® several times on a pimple over the next 24-48 hours. DO THIS EARLY, BEFORE YOU CAN SEE IT but you can feel it's there and LEROSETT® will stop the pimple before it has a chance to become infected and grow.

If there is already some redness and some infection dot LEROSETT® several times (5-10 times or more) on a pimple over the next 2-4 days and this will help to shorten the normal cycle of 7-10 days in half. For the late stage, ready for extraction, see the red link at the top of the page called "Properly Extracting Pimples". This page will explain how to properly use LEROSETT® to prevent scarring.

My skin is getting very dry:

It is normal to get a little dry; since you are removing all the bad stuff, you are also removing some oils. It's not a skin damaging dry like you can get with many chemical products. After you mask, replace the moisture with either the LEROSETT® Moisturizer or Healing Serum. If you are just too dry use our ÄKTA® Moisturizer with Ceramides. It will moisturize the driest skin. LEROSETT® products are hydro-organic aloe based (not water or oil based) and are naturally anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial.
For some people, it may be too much to wash your face with a cleanser and then use the clay mask as well. You can mask directly on oily skin, which will prevent dryness. For some, using the clay mask without cleansing first is enough.


Try a wet mask:
Use half LEROSETT® Clay and Half LEROSETT® Moisturizer, mix and apply as a mask. Let sit for 30 minutes and remove. The mask will not dry but you will get many of the benefits and your skin will not get dry. You can also use LEROSETT® Clay as a face scrub and rinse like you would with a face wash.

Reactionary, sensitive, and red skin:

LEROSETT® is natural and should not cause irritation but it can cause an increase in blood circulation. This is a good thing but it can make your skin look temporarily red. If you are getting red skin and it does not relate to blood circulation (red for many hours) then you could have reactionary sensitive skin or detox skin. The most common form of reactionary skin is when your skin is sensitive or gets red because of a current or previous product. This reactionary sensitivity should soon pass as you acclimate to LEROSETT®. Minimize the use of LEROSETT® during this period. When you do mask, remove the clay immediately after it dries 10 minutes to minimize redness. Use a layer so thin you can hardly see it when it dries.

Try a wet mask:
Use half LEROSETT® Clay and Half LEROSETT® Moisturizer, mix and apply as a mask. Let sit for 30 minutes and remove. The mask will not dry but you will get many of the benefits and your skin will not get dry. You can also use LEROSETT® Clay as a face scrub and rinse like you would with a face wash.

For Ingrown hairs and razor bumps:

For Ingrown hairs and razor bumps use LEROSETT® Clay the same way you would for pimples. For ingrown hair the trapped hair is lifted and for razor bumps the exfoliating properties lift the hair preventing redness and swelling. Use either as a spot treatment or as a mask. Particularly after shaving for a man or bikini area for a woman apply a thin layer of clay and let dry then remove. This will stop redness and bumps and prevent any ingrown hairs from appearing.

Absorb, Regulate and then Prevent:

A strong ionic charge, "ionic exchange", allows LEROSETT® to absorb the bad stuff in your pores like a magnet while natural minerals regulate the production of oil "sebum" glands, minimizing the return of problem skin like pimples, etc. These natural minerals can effectively fight bacteria in the same way as many antibiotics but without the side effect.

Will my skin get worse before it gets better?:

This is often called purging. In 10%-15% of problem skin cases, oil and other impurities that lay under the skin and in the follicle will be drawn out with initial use, causing what may appear to be more pimples. LEROSETT® does NOT cause pimples. These impurities must be removed for your skin to become clear. Your body will not absorb infection and impurities, they all must come out sometime. Stay consistent and don't give up; you will soon reach a clear point.
Purging is often misunderstood and most people do not experience visible purging. Your pores must clear from below the surface before the surface of your skin can clear. Sometimes purging can take a while and you may need to use more clay more often.

As long as you dont give up and work it every day, your skin will clear. It has to. If it doesn't, please contact us for assistance. (email, call or chat) We are glad to assist you.

What about blackheads?:

Blackheads can be difficult. They can't be washed away and pore strips are not effective because glue wont stick to oil. Blackheads must be physically removed by extraction and then prevented from returning by using LEROSETT®. The top of a black head is oxidized sebum. You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no sign of infection or redness. It's preferable to use a flat blackhead remover or a comedone extractor to remove blackheads. You can find this product at many beauty stores. LEROSETT® clay will soften the top layer of the blackhead and enable easier extraction. You can also loosen the top layer by placing your face over a bowl of hot water to steam open the pores. When you use LEROSETT® as a face mask several times a week, you will keep your pores clear and prevent the return of blackheads.

You can prevent the cycle of pimples:

LEROSETT® is naturally high in many important natural minerals like zinc, which is proven to regulate sebaceous oil glands ending the cycle of problem skin. The natural zinc mineral within LEROSETT® clay fights bacteria in the same way as many antibiotics like tetracycline but without any destructive effects. By using LEROSETT® as a mask a few times a week your sebaceous glands will begin to produce less oil. The heat treated clay will purge the impurities and micro-comedones so your problem skin will become a thing of the past.

Lifestyle changes matter:

If you normally do a full mask every morning but you just started to play sports in the afternoon you may need more than one full mask per day because you are now adding more impurities than you're removing with just one mask. You may need to make adjustments depending on your lifestyle not just your skin type.

LEROSETT® is naturally exfoliating and can be effectively used as a wash cream as well. You will still get the benefit of mineral infusion as you remove oils and dead skin cells.

Using LEROSETT® as a wash cream:

DETOX:

If you have used lots of chemicals on your skin, you may need a few weeks to wean off certain chemicals before your skin can start to heal naturally. You can continue to use LEROSETT® products while you detoxify your skin.

These directions are only guidelines and you will soon find what method is best for you and your specific skin condition. LEROSETT® can be used in many ways. Skin care professionals have successfully used LEROSETT® for everything from ingrown hairs, razor burn, rosacea and even bug bites.

If results are less than expected it will usually relate to not using enough, not giving it enough time or skipping consistent applications. There may be lifestyle issues or problems related to other issues you may not have thought of. You may not have acne; there are conditions like rosacea or a staph infection of the follicle that looks like acne. Please contact us if you are having difficulty. We are here to help.

Although LEROSETT® has been proven to have no side effects; it is always a good idea to test any product on a small area first, especially with sensitive skin.
