The best place to start with teens is to GET ON A ROUTINE. Get in the habit of washing your face every morning and every night. Stay away from Sea Breeze, and other stripping toners. Stay away from anything that burns, irritates, or turns your skin red. Moisturize with a water based, oil free lotion.  If you are truly prone to acne, it will take more than cleansing and moisturizing to get clear, but this is a good place to start. Try it for 2 months, if it doesn't work - then come see me.

Do X-Rays Help Treat Acne?

To effectively treat acne without the use of prescription drugs, please call and schedule a consultation with our acne specialist.  530.680.2027

In the 1920's x-rays were an acceptable method for treating acne, temporarily shrinking the sebaceous (oil) glands. Studies later revealed no improvement in using this method. Decades later, hundreds on former acne patients began developing skin cancers and thyroid cancer from their x-ray treatments. One patient developed 140 individual skin cancers that as a result of his radiation treatments.

Do Oily Foods Cause Oily Skin???

Oily acne skin is influenced by genetics and hormones. Acne, is in part, triggered by a lipid dysfunction of the skin. Even if you are sneaking into the restroom every couple of hours to blot your face with toilet seat covers - those of you who do do this know what I'm talking about - your body still needs healthy fats for your skin to function properly. Try nuts, seeds, and cold water fish, as well as sesame, olive, flax, and evening primrose oils in salad dressings or for spiking your french baguette. Bon appetit!

Acne Product Management...

At 916SKIN - Acne & Wellness Clinic, we manage your acne products and home-care regimen with bimonthly consultations to get your skin clear and to keep it clear.

How many times have you used a product that gets you clear, for a while at least, then you start breaking out again? I hear this story over and over again from my patients. Your skin will eventually adapt to the products that you are using if it is not challenged enough.  There is a fine line between challenging your skin and not over irritating it. To get clear and stay clear, you need to maintain your balance on that fine line. You need to keep your pores sloughed and cleared without over drying or over irritating your skin - not an easy task.  That's where we come in!
