To effectively counter acne, you must open the closed pores, sterilize the pores, and then close them. Makes sense, and it works.
To open the pores, you can use a few methods. The ideal method would be to use a pad that's made for facial use, but a VERY light sandpaper would also work. You must scrub very hard to open the pores.
Now, you want to sterilize the pores from the bacteria that is feeding from the oils in your skin. However, if you dry out your skin too much, you body will produce MORE oils, making more acne. The solution: Olive Oil.
Yes, olive oil. I was hesitant at first too, but it definitely works. The same chemical that makes raw olives extremely bitter is also an active solvent, which is why it tastes like shit, and as you should know, solvents get rid of oils.
Pour a small amount of olive oil in your hand and apply to your face immediately after scrubbing with the sandpaper. After about a minute of rubbing, you'll need to close the pores.
To close the pore, dunk your head into a bucket or sink full of ICE COLD water, or jump in the shower. The temperature is key, as the cold closes your pores.
And, you're done! I've been doing this daily for years, and I haven't had a single zit.
