How to apply plexaderm
Wash your face to get rid of any leftover makeup, dirt, or oils.
Use a facial soap and water to gently cleanse away any dirt or makeup from your face. Pay special attention to areas where you'll be applying the plexaderm, making sure these are clean.
Leaving oil or skin care product residue under plexaderm can make it less effective. It's a good idea to wash your hands as well, since you'll be applying the cream with your fingers.
