Single Spot: Apply directly onto blemishes & leave on overnight. Massage a thin layer into the blemish and then add a thicker layer on top. Wash off in the morning. Use as often as desired. Keep away from the eyes. Congested area: If you have a large cluster of pimples or congested skin you can apply a thin layer onto the larger area. Pimple paste not only helps existing spots but can prevent new ones from popping up!
