Follow directions on: Package or those given by doc. Wash face gently with mild soap & water; rinse; pat dry. Wait 5-15 minutes, apply thin film of BP cream to affected areas. Add moisturizing cream/lotion with sunblock few minutes later &/or wear broad-brimmed hat to protect face. Repeat regimen in pm. See dermatologist if more help is needed.
