Step 2: Acne Tips
The Acne 3 Day Cure is a complete solution. It's an A to Z system for curing every type of acne you may encounter. With that said, I always like to give this primer course before unveiling the entire treatment plan. Why?
When I first discovered the Acne 3 Day Cure I would just unload it on people and I was surprised to find that a majority of readers didn't have a good baseline of knowledge for fighting acne. With so much misinformation floating around on the internet, I created the Acne Education and Acne Tip steps to ensure you can use the plan as efficiently as possible. I want you to go into the plan on Day 1, ready for action and ready to receive results.
How to Wash Your Face

It's amazing how many people don't know how to properly wash their face. Many think that the more you wash, the less likely you are to experience acne breakouts. WRONG!
The truth is that overwashing will actually encourage MORE acne. This is because overwashing causes skin irritation and dryness.
When you overdry your skin, your pores will compensate by actually producting more Sebum and increasing the likelihood of pore clogs. Using the wrong acne medication will have a very similar result.
-
Frequency
You should wash your face no more than twice a day. Wash once in the morning and once at night - that's it. Use a mild soap or cleanser with warm water.
-
Choosing a cleanser
Avoid cleansers that have salicylic acid when possible. Oftentimes, salicylic acid can be too abrasive. The 3 Day Acne cure recommends using cleansers with glycerin. Why? Glycerin can actually act as a gentle moisterizer so it protects you from the danger of accidently overdrying your skin while washing.
-
NEVER use a washcloth to wash your face
Washcloths will irritate your skin and are far too abrasive. Use your hands and gently wash in circular motions.
-
Drying Your Face
When you dry your face, gently pat with a soft towel. This is crucial. Washing can be your friend or your enemy depending on how you do it. If you treat your face with kid gloves, it will reward you with a softer, less oily complexion.
How to Pop a Pimple

I rarely advocate the popping of pimples because of the risk it brings to scarring. However, after many requests on the proper way to do this, I've added this section.
I often get emails from people who say they can't possibly go out into public with a huge pimple on their face. They want to pop it, but don't want to make the infection worse.
Here's the deal. I don't encourage pimple popping because when it's done incorrectly you can actually push the clog further down into the pore and create a much more stubborn pimple.
You can also spread the Sebum (oil) throughout the skin causing further breakouts in the surrounding area. If you don't want your acne to become "deep rooted" but you MUST pop the pimple, you'll want to pop your pimples using the following technique.
-
Depending on where the pimple is, you'll want to shower or wash your face GENTLY with warm water.
-
Be sure that you've washed your hands with some sort of antibacterial soap as to not spread germs into the pimple.
-
Take a piece of tissue in each hand and create a barrier between the pimple and your fingers with the tissue. The idea is to keep the pimple as clean as possible.
-
Gently apply pressure by squeezing with your fingers. When possible, try to squeeze in a direction away from the pimple. This can be hard to do with smaller acne so just do your best.
-
Do not squeeze any more after the pus has come out! If you see clear fluid or blood - STOP. This is how squeezing can escalate infection.
-
Afterwards, apply a drop of benzoyl-peroxide (acne product) to a small piece of tissue, cotton swab or gauze pad. Some people can use a drop of rubbing alcohol if their skin isn't too sensative. The idea is to dry the open wound and kill any bacteria inside. When it comes to acne medicine, Less is More. You can easily irritate the open pimple by using too much.
Diet and Acne

The Acne 3 Day Cure gives you a very detailed explanation on food and its relationship with acne. Here, I'll just be covering a few basics. It's important that you understand these fundamentals before you learn the treatment.
A lot of people think that eating greasy food and a junk filled diet will cause acne. There's much speculation around this. If you eat a slice of pizza, you may get a pimple but it's certainly not because the oil in the pizza is circulating through your pores. Unless you're rubbing the food directly on your skin, potentially blocking the follicles, junk food does not necessarily cause pimples on its own.
Remember, acne is a clogged pore. The clogs are induced by Sebum(oil) blocking a hair follicle and creating an infection. Sebum is the culprit. And Sebum is regulated by our hormones and our skin's pH balance. In many body types, certain junk food can change this balance and in this respect, junk food can make you more vulnerable to acne.
Foods have a direct effect on our hormonal levels and pH balance. That's why it's important to fuel our bodies with elements that won't increase Sebum.
Water is so IMPORTANT in the fight against acne. If you're not drinking 8 glasses of water a day (a glass is considered 8 ounces), you're not doing all you can. When you drink water, you dissolve toxins and Sebum levels in the skin. This in turn decreases bacteria levels in the skin because the bacteria can no longer feed on the oil.
Sugar can increase the likelihood of breakouts due to it's affect on the body's hormonal levels. When you eat a lot of sugars and complex carbohydrates, your body releases hormones to control the level in your bloodstream. The sudden surge of hormones will spike your Sebum production and create acne flareups.
Learning the foods that control your Sebum production is just one aspect of natural acne control for life. During your fight to cure acne, you'll learn that minor changes to your diet will yield tremendous results over time.
