Its 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 days accumulation of dirt
should not be removed by hard scrubbing. Vigorous
washing and scrubbing will actually irritate the
skin and make acne worse.

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
doesnt. French fries dont. 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 over-production
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

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.

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.

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.

Stress and Acne
When youre 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.
