‘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.

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.
