The More My Skin Burns The Better, Right?

"The more my skin burns, the better right?"
First things first... DO NOT GO FOR THE BURN!!!

When it comes to acne treatment in Butte County, many people think that if an acne product burns their skin, it must really be working. Well, it's working all right! It's working on drying and irritating your skin, which will only set you back and potentially trigger more breakouts. If you are using a complete acne skin care system, it is common that certain products within that system may have some aggressive components, but by no means should your face get red or feel like it is on fire. Next time you use your products, monitor each product, and give it a rating between 1 and 10.  A one translates into no reaction at all... no burning, no prickling, no itching, or color change in your skin. Whereas, a ten translates into extreme burning, prickling, itching, or redness. On a scale from 1 to 10, your skin care products should range between 1 and 3. This is a great way to safely gauge "the fit" of a product. In order to get results, the first step is choosing products that fit your skin.
