I read that you initially wet your face with hot water becauses the pores to open then rinse with cold. By doing this will I have a slight break-out?

Washing your face in warm water allows you to clean the insides of the pores because the warm water causes the pores to expand. After cleaning your pores, you can use a mild astringent such as witchhazel to contract the clean, empty pores again--or cold water will do something similar. You could develop a break-out if the cleanser you use is too harsh, if you scrub your skin too hard, or if the hot-cold alternation inflames your skin, or if the pores were not cleaned thoroughly.

Raw unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar affect acne?

I don't know about the apple cider, I have never tried it. But if you have acne you are trying to get rid of you need tea tree oil. It works on your neck, face, back, legs, everywhere! It will make a huge difference overnight. But be careful, stick you 2x a day (after you wash your face in the morning and after you wash at night) otherwise you will get wicked peeling. Putting it on more often does not help, it makes it worse.

Also, you may feel your skin to be dry or burning. Just wait 5 minutes (or until it dries) and then put on some tea tree oil ointment (purest ingredients only! Like jojoba oil, beeswax, lavender oil, etc) or clean&clear dual action lotion. If it really burns, wash it off immediately with cool water and put on moisturizer!

The best stuff you get it 100% but if you find your skin is to sensitive, try just the ointment or a lesser percentage of oil.

Hope that somewhat helped.
