I'm a bit confused about how to use the acnewar gel that my doctor prescribed. Should I wash my face with water after applying the gel and then use the face wash my doctor recommended? Or do I just use the face wash directly after putting on the acnewar gel? I'm not really sure what the correct order is.

When using Acnewar gel and a prescribed face wash, follow this order:
- Apply Acnewar gel: Directly apply a thin layer of Acnewar gel to the affected areas.
- Wait for 15-30 minutes: Allow the gel to absorb and work on the acne.
- Wash your face with the prescribed face wash: Use lukewarm water and a small amount of face wash to cleanse your face.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove all residue.
Do not mix Acnewar gel with the face wash. Apply the gel first, wait, and then wash your face with the prescribed face wash.

I've been wondering if drinking a lot of tea and coffee can actually cause grey hair. I recently read that caffeine might be bad for your hair and could even lead to it turning grey. Is there any truth to this?
Let's dive into the relationship between tea, coffee, caffeine, and gray hair. Caffeine and Hair Health Caffeine is a stimulant found in tea, coffee, and some medications. While moderate caffeine consumption is generally safe, excessive intake may negatively impact hair health. Potential Effects of Caffeine on Hair 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Caffeine can disrupt hormonal balances, particularly affecting the thyroid gland. Hormonal changes can contribute to hair graying, thinning, or loss. 2. Stress and Adrenaline: Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline, which can increase stress levels. Prolonged stress may lead to an increase in free radicals, potentially damaging hair follicles and contributing to graying. 3. Sleep Disturbances: Consuming caffeine in large amounts or too close to bedtime can disrupt sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality and duration can affect hair growth and potentially lead to graying. 4. Nutrient Deficiencies: Excessive caffeine consumption may lead to an imbalance of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies can impact hair health, potentially causing graying or other issues.
