Acne Zit Zapper Review

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Zeno is a zapper that is used to help “zap” zits away. It uses heat to help blast out the bacteria in follicles before a pimple rises above the skin’s surface.

This is one way to heal the skin naturally as it reduces inflammation and redness. The temperature of the Zeno zapper is set way below that which would burn the skin. That is a major advantage of course, and yet it seems to provide instant results.

How it Works

First, it needs to be switched on. Then, after about 60 seconds it heats up to its highest operating temperature. It then beeps to let you know it is ready for use.

When ready to zap a pimple, you should let it remain on the zit for 2.5 minutes. You will be greeted by series of beeps every 30 seconds during the treatment as well as after the treatment is completed.

Note that if you do not use it for 35 seconds it will shut off after a period of inactivity. It takes 30 seconds between treatments to allow the Zeno acne to recharge itself.

Further Instructions

After a number of uses you are going to have to replace the Zeno tip. You can find packs of 90 replacement tips for around 30 dollars.

Customer Feedback

One way to determine how effective the Zeno treatment is to read customer feedback. About 90% of people who used it have left positive remarks about this pimple zapper.

The recommendation is to use the Zeno zapper two or three times within 24 hours. The earlier you catch the pimple the faster your case of acne will clear up. Some zits can be wiped out in a matter of a day.

According to the above expected results, most customers are pleased. Pros and cons of this product are shown in more detail below.

Pros

Effective relief from pimples can occur in 24 hours. There are no real side effects reported yet and it works for all (or at least most) types of acne problems. It also does not dry out the skin like other methods of pimple creams, cleansers, and treatments would.

Cons

Replacement tips are needed and these can be costly. This solution may not be effective for everyone and cannot always replace the need to take care of your skin.

It also is not meant to be used as a replacement for healthy lifestyle and diet observance. The Zeno zapper is meant more for “emergency” situations and not be necessarily be used every single day.

‘Acne Free in 3 Days’ Book Review

Monday, May 17th, 2010

‘Acne Free in 3 Days’ by author Chris Gibson is a very popular book that is used to help people clear their skin. This is marketed as an all natural approach to acne treatment.

A Brief Description

Of course, you are not going to be told the whole story here because otherwise there will be no need to buy the book. You will, however, be provided with a very excellent summary.

Basically what this book does is it helps people modify their diet. This is done in a way that helps fight acne from the inside out.

Another way to help people get rid of acne in the amount of time designated (3 days) is to chance your lifestyle. More details are indicated in the pages of Acne Free in 3 Days, as we are not allowed to give away all the secrets.

We can give you a bit of a clue though. There are certain foods you should not eat if you want to clear your face. There are also certain substances and beverages you also should not use if you want to get rid of acne in this short amount of time.

Pros

This book offers a simple step-by-step solution. Author Chris Gibson writes in a way that individuals can understand. He even shows people how addressing acne at the root of the problem (clearing of bacteria and other debris trapped in the skin) will help.

Recommendations to various home remedies for further self care are present in this book as well. You are shown how to clean your face without using harsh chemicals and natural oils.

Another major advantage of using this system is that it is not expensive at all. You only need about $20 to $30 worth of supplies along with the purchase of the book. This may seem like quite a bit of money to spend at first but in the end you are likely to notice it is worth it.

Cons

The price for the Acne Free in 3 Days book along with the cost of materials recommended in the book may be too high. Some people are just not sure they want to pay to get all these supplies if they are not sure it would work.

These supposed 3-day acne clearing method may not work for more severe cases of acne. You should talk to a doctor if your skin does not clear in a short amount of time, say 3 to 7 days. It could be a result of another type of acne such as cystic acne.

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub Reviews

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Biore Pore is a cleanser that is very inexpensive. That is probably the main reason why people try it-because it only costs about $7.00 for a small tube.

It has other advantages as you see below…

Biore Pore completely clears acne in some people. It also exfoliates the skin and as a result the skin looks smooth and healthy.

This product does a very good job of preventing acne as well and the face is refreshed, as it leaves the skin feeling cool, minty, and fresh. It also is very gentle on the skin. As you can see for the price, it really does wonders for many people.

Disadvantages

It may not work so well on dry or sensitive skin. Some people felt that it was not soothing enough on redness that appears as a result of acne problems.

The texture of this product according to one user is waxy and that this product also has a “strange smell.” Sometimes people who used it have noticed that the nose and cheeks appear red.

Buying Tips

You should determine your skin type before buying this or any other acne scrub product. If you are not sure what your skin type is you can see a dermatologist. Some possibilities would be dry skin which is a type when your face may itch and feel scaly and oily skin where your face feels greasy.

Some peoples’ skin may be oily in some spots and dry in others. This is combination skin. If the skin has just the right amount of oil on it and does not feel greasy or dry then it is normal skin.

Again, it may be hard to tell so you should see a dermatologist concerning this. It is always better to be safe than sorry or you could ruin your face using the wrong product.

Lemon Juice for Acne: How Well does it Work?

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Lemon juice is a common household treatment for acne. It seems to have its benefits, which are shown below. How well does it really work? That is the main question you probably would ask.

Advantages

It is a very inexpensive solution. After all, lemon is a very common kitchen commodity. You might need to buy a bit extra but usually the cost of it is less than a dollar-or about a dollar.

Lemon juice works well because of the acidic nature of it. The juice acts as an astringent and it helps clean the skin pores just as any fancy facial cleanser would do.

It seems to do well for all kinds of pimples and scars. It even worked better for one person in particular who combined baking soda with it.

Lemon juice also seems to do an amazing job at healing red spots and healing acne. It also makes the skin soft and some people actually like the smell of it.

Disadvantages

It stings, but mainly this is the case with people who use it on an open wound. It also is slightly sticky for some people. It could dry out the skin if it is used too much or too often.

Conclusion

For most people it works very well. Generally using lemon juice does more good than harm. It is a great thing to consider.
