It s necessary to scrub your face when cleansing to effectively treat acne. True False False. If you wash your skin hard and frequently, you can actually make your acne worse. Excess oil, dead skin, and a day s accumulation of dirt should not be removed by hard scrubbing. Vigorous washing and scrubbing will actually irritate the skin and make acne worse. Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Foaming Cleanser bubbles deep into your pores to disrupt the breakout causing union of oil and debris so there s no need to scrub.
Acne is caused by what you eat. True False False. Extensive scientific studies have not found a connection between diet and acne. In other words, food does not cause acne. Chocolate doesn t. French fries don t. Not even pizza. However, eating a balanced diet is always beneficial to your body. In fact, as your body is fighting blemishes, your antioxidant supply is being depleted. Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Toner contains potassium ascorbyl tocopheryl phosphate (a special blend of vitamins C and E) to help replenish your natural antioxidant supply.
Stress can cause acne. True False True. Stress can aggravate your skin by kicking off the release of androgens and cortisol. These stress hormones can stimulate an overproduction of oil. When this excess oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, it can cause acne to develop or worsen.
Fighting acne is more than just zapping a pimple. True False True. Besides causing breakouts, acne can also result in permanent scarring. While Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Foaming Cleanser, Toner, and Day Treatment focus on ridding your skin of present and future blemishes, Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Night Treatment helps treat the souvenirs of past breakouts.
Acne should just be left alone; it will go away by itself. True False False. The truth is acne can be effectively treated. Within one week of using the Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication System, your skin will appear calmer, smoother, and less oily. After a few weeks, you ll see an overall improvement in skin clarity, texture, and breakout frequency. After four weeks, your skin will become more radiant and evenly toned as breakouts diminish.
Acne 101 Course Outline Types of acne Who is affected by acne? Stress and acne A blemish life cycle Treating acne
Acne 101 Types of acne If a pore becomes clogged, then closes and bulges out, you have a whitehead. If a pore becomes clogged but stays open and the top darkens, you have a blackhead. Back to Acne 101 main page
Acne 101 Types of acne Sometimes when the walls of a pore become damaged, bacteria and dead skin work their way under the live skin. This leaves you with a small, red infection called a pimple. Clogged pores that are open deep in the skin cause cysts. These infections are generally larger than those that cause pimples. Back to Acne 101 main page
Acne 101 Who is affected by acne? Even one breakout classifies someone as an acne sufferer. 52% of acne sufferers are adults. Of the 76 million Americans who had acne in a six month period in 2000, 66% (51 million) were aged 25 49 (Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation Study). Acne affects approximately 17 million people in the United States (Doctor s Guide; http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/337d6.html; 1/3/2001). 80% of the U.S. population develops some form of acne during their lifetime (Doctor s Guide; http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/337d6.html; 1/3/2001).

Acne 101 Stress and Acne Acne not only causes significant stress, but is also made worse by stress. In a recent study, Stanford University students with acne were analyzed before and after exams. The study found that students experienced a worsening of the disease when under pre-exam stress. Back to Acne 101 main page Back to Acne 101 main page
Acne 101 Stress and Acne When you re under stress, your body produces stress hormones such as cortisol. This primary stress hormone can stimulate an over-production of oil in the skin. When this excess oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, it can cause acne to develop or become worse. This can, in turn, lead to more stress, plunging you into a stress-acne cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions Is the Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication System designed to address only acne? The system has only been tested in conjunction with acne; therefore, we do not recommend it for people suffering from eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions Can I use just one or two of the products in the Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication System such as only the Night Treatment? If your primary concerns are only related to past acne remnants such as scarring or discoloration, Night Treatment is very effective when used alone.
Frequently Asked Questions Can I rotate between using the Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication System and the Nu Skin 180 Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System depending on my skin conditions at the time? Nu Skin Clear Action and Nu Skin 180 target different skin conditions. We recommend that you choose the system right for your particular needs at the time. If you need to switch systems, wait one week before beginning the new system. Remember, Nu Skin Clear Action does contain anti-aging ingredients such as retinol, alpha lipoic acid, and salicylic acid.
Frequently Asked Questions Is the Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication System formulated for the face only or can it be used on the chest and back? The system can also be used on the chest and back. However, package quantities were measured with only the face and neck in mind so if you use the products on your back and chest, your system will not last the entire 30 days.
