It reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, and helps your skin renew itself more quickly.<br /><br /><br />A skin care routine should be followed while using this strong medication.<br /><br /><br />The following are some useful tips I found really effective while being on Accutane.<br /><br /><br />- Be sure to use clean washcloths. After use, wash in hot soapy water before reuse to prevent the spread of bacteria.<br /><br />- Be sure to apply moisturizer and foundation in the direction of the little hairs on the skin. Generally, this means in strokes away from the nose.<br /><br />- Lip Balm is your savior. Blistex is good for when lips are already chapped and Vaseline to prevent chapping.<br /><br />- Contact users may experience discomfort from dry eyes. It may be prudent to stock up on artificial tears.<br /><br />- When using a towel, pat, 'Do Not rub'.<br /><br />- The time for exfoliation is when the skin is warm, wet and protected by a layer of Cetaphil.<br /><br />- Drink plenty of water, as Accutane will dry you out.<br /><br />- Take your Accutane pill with milk. The fat in the milk helps your body better absorb the medication.<br /><br />- Stick to a routine. The more regular your skin care regimen, the more success you'll have with it.<br /><br />- Forget all the 'deep cleansing' acne washes. They'll be way too harsh on your skin while on Accutane.<br /><br />- Neutrogena Lip Boost works better for dry lips.<br /><br />- And things you need:</span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#666666;">Vaseline.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#666666;">Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#666666;">Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask.
