Learn the correct way to apply a blemish touch stick for clearer skin. This guide covers prep, application, and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Apply the Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick directly to clean, dry skin after washing your face. Roll the stick gently over blemishes, insect bites, or minor skin irritations, and let the pure plant extracts and essential oils absorb. Use it up to three times daily, but always start with a patch test to check your skin's reaction.
Why a Blemish Touch Stick?
A blemish touch stick is a convenient, targeted way to treat spots without drying out the surrounding skin. The Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick combines Australian Tea Tree Oil with Chamomile, Lavender, Palmarosa, Wintergreen, and Calendula to soothe and clarify. Its rollerball applicator makes it easy to apply precisely where needed, reducing waste and mess.
Steps to Use a Blemish Touch Stick Correctly
- Clean and dry the area: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. The stick works best on a clean, dry surface so the plant extracts can absorb without interference from dirt or makeup. Common mistake: Applying to damp or dirty skin. Oil and water don't mix, and a wet surface can dilute the stick's effectiveness.
- Step 2: Roll the stick directly onto the blemish: Twist the bottom to raise the product slightly, then roll the ball gently over the pimple, insect bite, or minor irritation. Don't press hard—a light roll deposits enough product. Checkpoint: If the ball feels stuck, clean it with a tissue. A dirty roller can become clogged with dried product.
- Step 3: Let it absorb without rubbing: Leave the product on the spot without rubbing or spreading it. The essential oils and extracts need a few minutes to penetrate the skin. Avoid touching the area afterward. Common mistake: Rubbing the product in. This can spread bacteria and reduce the concentration on the blemish itself.
