Cleanser Foaming Cleanser Did You Know? Acne is not caused by poor hygiene. Acne is caused by a mixture of dead skin cells and oil; however, washing your skin too aggressively can cause additional irritation making your acne worse. Cleanser Objectives After viewing this course, you should have an understanding of the following: • Functions of Nu Skin Clear Action™ Foaming Cleanser. • Key benefits associated with using this gentle cleanser. • Key ingredients in Foaming Cleanser. Cleanser Previous Curriculum Review Cleanser Definition of Acne Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when oil and dead skin cells block the pore opening, causing sebum (oil) to build up inside the pore. Cleanser Acne Life Cycle Stage 1: Clogged Pores. Cells lining pores shed and mix with excess sebum produced by sebaceous glands, forming a plug, which leads to clogged pores. Stage 2: Bacteria. Accumulated sebum and dead cells attract the P. acnes (or propionibacterium) bacteria naturally found in skin, which feeds on oil and multiplies rapidly inside pores. Stage 3: Inflammation. This bacterial overgrowth triggers the natural inflammatory response causing swelling and redness. This can ultimately lead to discoloration and scarring.

Cleanser Nu Skin Clear Action™ System Nu Skin Clear Action™ is a comprehensive acne treatment system that addresses the full spectrum of effects—past, present, and future—associated with acne and helps keep the skin looking vibrant and healthy. Each product in the Nu Skin Clear Action™ System is specifically formulated to address the past, present, and/or future effects of acne. Cleanser Introduction Cleanser The Cleansing Dilemma Cleansing is a vital step for those suffering from acne. The cleanser must be powerful enough to rid the skin of excess oils and dissipate plugs from within the pores. However if cleansing is too harsh, it can cause additional irritation or overdryness, which breaks down the moisture barrier. Scrubbing or using an exfoliant can spread bacteria and increase inflammation. The ideal solution is a gentle cleanser that has the ability to eliminate clogged pores, while also maintaining the moisture barrier. Cleanser Nu Skin Clear Action™ Foaming Cleanser Foaming Cleanser is a gentle cleanser that bubbles deep into your pores. Formulated to disrupt the breakout-causing union of oil and debris without the need for scrubbing, Foaming Cleanser—a soap free formula—leaves your skin fresh and clean without feeling tight or dry.

Cleanser Key Benefits Supported Cleanser Key Benefit Supported Addresses PRESENT issues of blemish-prone skin. • Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, penetrates pores and gently exfoliates to eliminate most blemishes. Beta hydroxy acids provide long term benefits by assisting the sloughing off of dead skin cells and speeding up the cell renewal processes of the skin. Salicylic acid is lipophilic and, therefore, has an affinity for oils allowing it to penetrate into the pores and break down the plug. Salicylic acid keeps follicles clear so the pimple forming environment is wiped out.
