ACNE: NUT NUTRITION...

BEST FOODS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

A handful of nuts is a handful of nutrition. Nuts and seeds are a good source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and healthy fats including omega 3s. Nuts also provide the body with many important essential amino acids. Although, nuts and seeds are not a complete protein, they are the highest source of protein in the plant world. As long you eat a variety of protein sources throughout the day, your body will have all the building blocks it needs to manufacture complete proteins.

Healing acne relies heavily on the body's ability to repair tissue. Providing your body with the proper building blocks to do so will help restore a healthy complexion.

AMOUNT OF PROTEIN PER 1/4 CUP SERVING:
Sunflower seeds = 8 grams
Almonds = 7 grams
Sesame seeds = 7 grams
Pumpkin seeds = 7 grams

DIET ALONE WILL NOT CLEAR YOUR SKIN.  TREATING ACNE IS MULTI-FACTORIAL AND REQUIRES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. TO SCHEDULE YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH A MEDICAL SKINCARE PRACTITIONER PLEASE CALL 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC AT: (530) 680.2027

EASY ON THE HOT SHOWERS...

INFLAMED ACNE TREATMENTS     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Easy on the hot showers. A steaming hot shower may be a great way to relax, but if you have inflamed acne, it will only set you back.

When addressing inflamed acne, eliminating redness is always the primary goal in getting clear. This includes red pimples and any redness in the surrounding skin. Irritating acne products, intense exercise, saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, or anything that causes the skin to be inflamed - should be avoided until the inflammation has completely subsided.


To cool the body, blood vessels dilate allowing more blood and heat to reach the skin's surface. This response only exacerbates inflammation. To help quench the redness, choose warm showers over hot and ice inflamed skin and acne 2 to 3 times a day for 3 to 5 minutes.

DOES JUICE CAUSE BREAKOUTS...

TREAT BREAKOUTS IN CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When it comes to controlling acne, the more you reduce your sugar intake, the healthier your complexion.  Most people overlook the sugar content of beverages completely. So don't be shocked when a seemingly single-sized bottle of flavored milk, juice or a coffee drink contains 2 - 3 servings - and average 30 grams of sugar per serving. Your best bet: switch to water and herbal teas.


Calculations based on 30g of sugar per serving:
1 serving   = 6 teaspoons sugar
2 servings  = 12 teaspoons sugar
3 servings  = 18 teaspoons sugar

Czzz STRESS BREAKOUTS...

ACNE TREATMENT RESULTS SACRAMENTO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Consuming plenty of vitamin C rich foods helps manage stress by supporting the adrenal glands. High potency vitamin C supplementation is recommended for those under stress, especially acne-prone people who are susceptible to "stress break outs."

Research suggests that vitamin C supplementation can interfere with dietary vitamin B12. Although, iron & nitrates may counteract this affect, it is important to take vitamin C 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours after meals.

FOR THE HELP OF AN ACNE EXPERT, PLEASE CALL 916SKIN AND SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION. OUR ACNE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ALL ACNE TYPES. (530) 680.2027

HEAT OR ICE FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR CYSTIC ACNE REDDING, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Heat or ice for acne?  If the pimple is red go with the ice. If you have a cyst, or the pimple is deep without redness then apply a warm compress.

If the pimple or skin is inflamed, it has the potential to leave a dark mark. This is a scar-like formation termed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or simply, PIH. Icing the pimple for 2 to 3 minutes twice a day will help prevent acne scarring.

Warm compresses help draw fluid to the surface. If the lesion is open, a warm compress will help facilitate drainage. Following with ice can help prevent PIH.

CONTROL ACNE WITH A FRIDGE LOCKER...

HELP CONTROL ACNE CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Controlling acne with a Fridge Locker... ridiculous, right? Well, not for all the acne suffering, sugar addicts out there.

Sugar not only suppresses the immune system, it is a major contributor of systemic inflammation, the root cause of degenerative disease and a trigger for breakouts in the majority of acne sufferers. Eliminating or even cutting back on sugar can help control your acne.

Living with someone who keeps the refrigerator stocked with sodas, ice cream and pie can be the demise of the sugar addict, especially one that suffers from acne. A few of our acne patients have reported that the Fridge Locker helps keep their diet and binging episodes in check.

There are a plethora of non-comedogenic mineral veils on the market that can be dusted on multiple times throughout the day. A mineral veil will leave your makeup looking light and fresh while providing added protection from damaging UV rays.

CAN SUNLIGHT CAUSE ACNE...

TOP ACNE SOLUTIONS FAIRFIELD, CA       916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC


The sun acts as an irritant to the follicles. Comedonal type acne, particularly blackheads can increase in number, size and redness when exposed to the sun - more in some individuals than others.

People with acne have said that there skin begins to clear a bit when they are in the sun. This may be true to some degree due to the sun's peeling affects, but it is short lived, ineffective and the detrimental repercussions will follow for years to come.

Try the following tips:
-Limit sun exposure
-Choose early morning and evening sun over peak hours
-Apply non-comedogenic sunscreen liberally
-Reapply sunscreen every hour when in the sun
-Apply sunscreen immediately after swimming
-Where hats
-Seek shade

ROYAL JELLY PRECAUTIONS FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES REDDING, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Royal jelly is a substance made by worker-honey bees and fed to developing queen bee larvae. This food is the richest source of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and can be very useful in managing stress, and thus acne, by supporting the adrenal cascade. However, getting clear takes much more than controlling stress.


ROYAL JELLY PRECAUTIONS:
Royal jelly should not be eaten on a daily basis. It is most effective when eaten on a rotational basis or intermittently. Royal jelly interacts with the drug Coumadin, and may increase its blood thinning effects with an increased chance of bruising or bleeding.

916SKIN PROVIDES CUSTOMIZED ACNE THERAPY FOR TEENAGE AND ADULT ACNE. ON AVERAGE, AFTER 3 TO 4 MONTHS OF TREATMENT OUR PATIENTS GET 90 TO 100 PERCENT CLEAR.  CALL THE CLINIC TO SCHEDULE A SKIN CONSULTATION. (530) 680.2027

ACNE TIP FOR MEN...

TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT  CLINIC

Don't go for the burn!  Give yourself at least 1 hour after shaving before applying your acne products. Acne products that are designed to shed the skin contain active ingredients. These "actives" can burn and cause the skin to turn red when they are applied immediately after shaving.  This is partly due to the shift in pH from an alkaline shaving cream to acidic "actives." Give your skin a chance to adjust by waiting at least 60 minutes after shaving. If it still burns, try waiting 90 minutes next time around.

ACNE IS TREATABLE WHEN YOU HAVE PROPER GUIDANCE. THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST TO GET YOU CLEAR IN APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 16 WEEKS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE CLINIC AT: (530) 680.2027

WHO SHOULD AVOID MICRODERM...

MICRODERMABRASION CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Microdermabrasion is an all time favorite for many, but is it right for you?  Microderm works wonders as a quick pick-me-up for the skin by buffing and sloughing away dead cells - unveiling fresh new velvety smooth skin. However, as an acne treatment it is better utilized in combination with other treatment modalities for non-inflamed acne types.



WHO SHOULD AVOID MICRODERMABRASION:
-People with inflamed acne
-People with broken capillaries or a tendency towards broken capillaries
-People with redness/erythema
-People with thin or thinning skin regardless of age
-People prone to bruising

ALKALIZING SMOOTHIES FOR ACNE...

ACNE FACE TREATMENTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

The long term success of any acne treatment relies on nutrition as much as proper skincare products. Healing the skin demands an alkalizing diet to stop inflammation. Most of the foods we consume in our Standard American Diet (SAD) are acidic. These includes foods like meat, poultry, fish, sugar, dairy, pasta, breads, pastries and most grains. Acid forming foods need to be balanced out with an abundant supply of alkaline forming foods - mostly vegetables and fruits. Grab yourself a pH reference guide to learn which foods provide the most alkalizing benefits as not all fruits and veggies are alkalizing.

ALKALIZING SMOOTHIE:
2 packed cups fresh spinach
Handful of fresh or frozen pineapple
Handful of fresh soybeans
Sliver of lemon with peel
Heaping teaspoon of chia seed
Pinch of Stevia
Pinch of sea salt
Pure almond milk or water
Blend to green perfection!!!

*Give your body an hour to digest before consuming anything else.

GLYCEMIC INDEX FOR ACNE...

NUTRITION FOR ACNE, CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Help control acne by controlling blood sugar. Although, managing acne relies on many factors, learning to control blood sugar is an important step in getting clear and staying clear.

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how quickly a specific food raises blood sugar. Consuming foods that are low on the GI can allow us to keep our blood sugar, and thus our acne, under control.

There are many books and pocket guides on the Glycemic Index. The GI was originally developed to help people with diabetes. The GI is gaining world wide recognition, and it has become well known that eating low on the GI has many health benefits, and can help improve cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels, can help prevent weight gain, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and certain cancers.

THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM INCORPORATES A COMBINATION TOPICAL TREATMENT MODALITIES WITH HEALTHY NUTRITION PLANS. THE CLEARING PROCESS TAKES APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING: 530.680.2027

WARMING SOCKS PROCEDURE...

METHODS FOR TREATING ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

WARMING SOCKS: an alternative, yet effective method that increases circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system to help speed recovery from minor illnesses such as colds, flus, soar throats, sinusitis, insomnia and stress-based acne.


WARMING SOCKS PROCEDURE: Get yourself ready for bed and take care of your bedtime rituals. You will need a pair of fitted cotton socks and a pair of thick wool-like socks. Use scissors to cut off the tops of the cotton socks, so that the top portion of your feet are exposed (see picture). Using cold water, wet the cotton socks and gently wring them out (socks should be heavy, damp and cold).

1)  Warm your body, especially your legs and feet by soaking or showering for 5 to 10 minutes. This step is important for the treatment to be effective.

2)  Dry off, keep your body warm and put on the cold damp cotton socks.

3)  Slide the warm thick wool socks on over the damp socks.

4)  Keep your body warm and go straight to bed. Make sure you have enough blankets before starting the treatment.

Your socks will be dry long before you awake. If your body gets over heated during the night, you can remove the socks. A cup of hot ginger tea before bed will also help warm your body. Avoid herbal teas with a cooling effect such as mint teas.

CUT THE DAIRY NOT THE CALCIUM...

DIET TIPS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Cut the dairy not the calcium. It is well known that dairy exacerbates acne for many of those who suffer from breakouts.

If you are laying off the dairy or eliminating it all together, make sure to get plenty of calcium-rich foods in your diet. Many of the nut and rice milks are fortified with calcium to provide similar key nutrients of those found in dairy.


CALCIUM-RICH FOODS:
watercress
kale
collard greens
bok choy/Chinese cabbage
okra
broccoli
green beans
figs
almonds

WILL UVB THERAPY TREAT ANE...

TREAT ACNE IN BUTTE COUNTY    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

UVB Therapy is not designed to treat acne. UVB (Ultraviolet B) Therapy is commonly used for psoriasis, a skin condition that causes dead skin cells to rapidly reproduce, forming plaques on the surface of the skin. UVB acts to slow the proliferation of skin cells, and thus the formation of plaques.

While acne is also a skin condition that involves the rapid proliferation of skin cells, it requires an approach that sloughs off the dead cells in order to prevent the formation of acne lesions.

916SKIN- ACNE CLINIC PROVIDES PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANS FOR SEVERE AND CYSTIC ACNE. PLEASE READ OVER THE PROGRAM BY VISITING THE 916SKIN WEB SITE. CONSULTATIONS WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE CLINIC AT:  (530) 680.2027

CONTROL ACNE WITH BLOOD SUGAR...

CONTROL ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Control your blood sugar. Controlling your blood sugar can help improve your complexion. Cookies, pastries, sodas, juice, granola bars and the like, will send your blood sugar soaring. High blood sugar means more insulin, which can trigger breakouts in those prone to acne.

A 2007 study showed that those who ate foods with a low glycemic load (effect of food on blood sugar) showed an improvement in their complexion compared to those who ate a high carbohydrate diet with no concern for glycemic load. 

YOUR COMPLEXION IS A REFLECTION OF OPTIMAL HEALTH.  THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM STRADDLES NUTRITION AND SKIN CARE. THROUGH CUSTOMIZE TREATMENT, YOU TOO CAN HAVE CLEAR SKIN.  CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING: (530) 680.2027

SUGAR DEPELETES MAGNESIUM...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Sugar depletes magnesium.  A diet high in sugar causes the kidneys to excrete magnesium. Consuming sugar on a regular basis can lead to a magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium slows the skin's aging process by stabilizing DNA and RNA.  Many people eating the Standard American Diet are low in magnesium. With our fast paced life style, we are hooked on convenience, which often doesn't include magnesium-rich foods.

FOODS RICH IN MAGNESIUM:
Spinach, Swiss Chard, Pumpkin Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Brazil Nuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pine Nuts, Mackerel, Soy Beans/Edamame, Quinoa, Brown Rice

Bye bye face massage.
Just because your friend doesn't break-out from massage oil, doesn't mean you won't break-out. Being prone to pimples means eliminating all the potential acne triggers. This includes eliminating anything that may be comedogenic (pore clogging). Many products claim to be non-comedogenic, but still clog the pores of people who are acne-prone. Why take the risk? The next time you treat yourself to bodywork - say "bye bye" to the face massage!

BODY BRUSHING FOR ACNE...

ACNE TREATMENT PLANS CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

Dry brushing is a home acne remedy that can help liver-based acne. This type of acne is generally triggered by increased toxicity and the liver's inability to process the amount of toxins coming into the body.

The purpose of dry brushing is to stimulate the lymphatic system to help the body rid itself of toxins. Plus, you get the added benefit of exfoliation. Dry body brushing also stimulates circulation, improve skin tone, reduces cellulite and enhances the function of the gut and kidneys.

HOW TO:
Use a soft dry body brush on dry skin. Use long gentle sweeping motions toward the heart (do not scrub back and forth or in circles). Sweep the brush up the legs, up the torso and up the arms. Dry brushing can be done 1 to 2 times a day.

BENEFITS OF GINGER FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR CYSTIC ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Ginger spice is a rhizome (similar to a root) of the ginger plant.  Ginger is well known throughout the world for its gastrointestinal and immune boosting benefits. Ginger is also a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxifier, making it a must-have in the pantry of those with inflamed and cystic acne. This sweat-stimulating spice flips the switch on perspiration to help the body detoxify.  

Recent research indicates that sweat contains powerful germ-fighting properties that may help fight off infections. Dermicidin, a protein manufactured in the sweat glands, is secreted into the sweat and onto the skin's surface where it guards against foreign microbes.

Try using ginger the following ways:
 - Simmered and prepared as tea or lemonade
- Mixed with soy and sesame oil as a salad dressing
- Sautéed with vegetables
- Grated and served with rice
- Juiced with carrots, celery and beets and used as a detoxifying elixir

ACNE TREATMENT CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING THE CLINIC TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY FROM 8AM TO 8PM. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO CLEAR SKIN. (530) 680.2027

MANDELIC ACID FOR ACNE...

SHOP ACNE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Mandelic Acid for acne!  When used in combination with the correct acne skincare program, this alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) works wonders for inflamed and non-inflamed acne. Mandelic acid is commonly derived from almonds and contains several anti-bacterial properties. Mandelic helps control oil, which means less food for oil-loving bacteria. In comparison to other AHAs, Mandelic Acid is a larger molecule, thus, it penetrates the skin more slowly reducing the risk of redness and burning.

Although Mandelic Acid is a gentle molecule, certain individuals may experience burning and itching when using this product. It's important to always test the sensitivity of your skin before starting a new skincare protocol.

MANDELIC ACID IS OFFERED IN SEVERAL CONCENTRATIONS. SELECTION IS BASED ON SENSITIVITY LEVEL AND CAN BE PURCHASED AT 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC. TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION OR SENSITIVITY TEST, PLEASE CONTACT US AT: (530) 680.2027

DAIRY-FREE LATTE FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR PIMPLES CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Next time you order a latte, skip the dairy. Adding just a splash of cream or milk to your coffee is enough to trigger breakouts. Even healthful, raw and organic dairy products can cause breakouts in the acne-prone individual. Cow hormones within dairy stimulate oil glands and congest the pores. Hormones are found in the fatty portions of dairy, so if dairy is your only option, choose skim milk.

It's not just the cow hormones that spike breakouts, it's an inflammatory response to all dairy (eggs are not considered dairy) that manifests itself as acne in those prone to the disease. Dairy is also lurking in many salad dressings, pastries, protein bars, protein powders, etc.

For added acne-fighting power in your coffee, drink decaf, go syrup-free and replace honey or sugar with stevia.

DEC 31ST - SPOTLIGHT ON UV RAYS...

ACNE CARE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Spotlight on UV rays.  For those undergoing any type of treatment that speeds cell-turn-over, there are two types of Ultra Violet (UV) rays to be concerned with. UVA rays - penetrate the dermis, alter DNA,  cause premature aging and skin cancer.  UVB rays - penetrate the epidermis and cause sunburn and premature aging.

The sun's UV rays reflect off cars, rocks, side walks, buildings and onto and into our skin. Once UV rays have penetrated the skin's barrier, oxidative damage reeks havoc on vulnerable acne-prone skin.

UV rays have the power to penetrate most clothing, especially loose knit clothing. UVA rays can penetrate glass and are emitted in small amounts from indoor lighting.  So for those who work in an office seated near a window, this double whammy of UV exposure, will rapidly age your skin if certain precautionary measures aren't taken.

To prevent UV damage, wear tight knit clothing with UPF when possible. Redirect window blinds to deflect UV rays. Wear broad a broad spectrum sunscreen everyday with SPF30 even when indoors and on cloudy cool days.  Choose a professional sunscreen formulated with a minimum of 7% zinc oxide. Certain professional brands contain 18% zinc oxide - that glide on thin, silky and light weight.

SUNSCREEN ON CLOUDY DAYS...

TREATING BLEMISHES CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Don't be fooled by cloudy days and cooler weather. Slather yourself in sunscreen! Using acne products and/or getting acne treatments makes skin more prone to sun damage. Apply sunscreen as part of your daily routine is the simplest way to look younger for life. An estimated 90 percent of wrinkles are from damaging UV rays. Using products that speed cellular-turn-over increases the risk of skin cancer unless counteracted by consistent daily use of sunscreen.  Always choose a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF30 that contains at least 7% zinc oxide.

HERBAL POWER FOR ACNE ROSACEA...

ACNE ROSACEA TREATMENT CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

For broken capillaries commonly associated with acne rosacea, try horse chestnut, an herbal extract that is known for improving the integrity of blood vessels. Taking horse chestnut will not repair the existing broken vessels, but studies show, that when taken in extract form, it strengthens blood vessels and reduces swelling. There is not much evidence to support the use of horse chestnut creams for this purpose.

Acne rosacea can progressively get worse if the correct precautions aren't taken. Strengthening your vessels is the first step in controlling this disease.

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS FOR ACNE...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA  916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC


Alpha hydroxy acids. These are ingredients that delay the aging process and can help prevent acne.  Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are natural acids derived from such things as sugar cane, apples, grapes, citrus fruits, sour milk and almonds. The acids work by penetrating the skin and breaking down the bonds that hold skin cells together, causing dead cells to shed and younger cells to surface.



Types of AHAs commonly used in skin care:
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Tartaric Acid

Types of AHAs commonly used in acne care:
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid

ALMOND BUTTER FOR ACNE...

ACNE NUTRITION CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

You are what you eat. Choosing the right foods helps promote the healing process in acne and a variety of other skin conditions. Raw almonds are a great alternative to the acne-promoting peanut and peanut butter. Almonds provide the body with a healthy source of fat that improve cellular function - that includes skin cells! Almonds are rich in vitamin E, choline, folate, and provide the body with a good source of minerals (see below).


Apple slices with almond butter make for a nutritious delicious snack. Carry a bag of raw almonds in your bag for a quick nutritional boost throughout the day.

CHOOSE YOUR NUTS WISELY:
Organic raw almonds are always the healthiest choice. When it comes to roasted nuts, always choose dry roasted over roasted in oil. When choosing an almond butter the ingredients should read: organic almonds. Nothing else! Always buy fresh nuts. Local Farmer's Markets are your best choice for fresh organic almonds and almond butters. Many of the packaged nuts have been sitting in wear houses or on shelves for long periods of time and the oils become rancid, which is dangerous to your health. If you detect your nuts don't taste fresh, throw them away.

PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN FOR ACNE...

ACNE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

A physical sunscreen works by deflecting and scattering the sun's ultra violet rays when they reach the skin's surface. Physical sunscreen is preferred for those with sensitive skin, inflamed acne, or for those prone to acne that is triggered or exacerbated by the sun.

The most commonly used active ingredients in a physical sunscreen are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Over-the counter physical sunscreens, generally do not contain a high enough percentage of these active ingredients to provide the protection needed when on an acne skincare system or treatment plan. Look for a physical sunscreen that offers at least 7% zinc oxide, 7% titanium dioxide, or both. With today's professional formulations, 9% to 18% zinc and titanium can be found at acne clinics, medical spas and dermatology centers. These advanced formulations are an entire new breed of sunscreen. They glide on weightless and silky smooth with no residue. Thick, pastey sunscreens are now a thing of the past!

ACNE: LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE...

ACNE SKINCARE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

Limit time spent in the sun. Certain acne medications make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. The sun's UV rays increase inflammation, redness and skin sensitivity whether you are taking acne medications or not. So, for those who are taking acne meds, sun exposure is a double whammy!

For those who have inflamed acne, the sun's UV rays will make the inflammation worse and increase your chances of PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). PIH is the dark brown or red spot left on the skin after a pimple heals. If you already have PIH, sun exposure will only make it worse.

Choose early morning or late afternoon sun. Well before 10AM and after 3PM. Always wear a physical sunscreen with an SPF of 30 regardless of the time of day or weather conditions! Wear hats and protective clothing to protect your acne-prone zones.

WHY USE A TONER FOR ACNE...

TREATING ADULT ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Toners are an important piece of most acne skincare systems. A toner does several things: lowers the skin's pH (if it's an acidic cleanser) and removes any residual cleanser or superficial oil. All of these things help prepare the skin for better product penetration. The "actives" that you put on following your toner will sink deeper into the skin and be more beneficial. Your toner should leave your skin feeling clean and fresh, not hot and tight.


"Actives" refer to products that contain "active" ingredients. These are the ingredients that do the job your product says it will do. Actives give you results! Glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic, kojic and tretinoic acids are an example of some of the actives used in acne products.

Don't over use your toner. There is no need to drench the cotton round. Enough toner to cover 1/3 of a cotton round will do the trick!

AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC WE TEACH PATIENTS HOW TO PROPERLY TAKE CARE OF THEIR SKIN. WITH EVERY TREATMENT YOU RECEIVE EDUCATIONAL TRAINING ON THE BEST SKINCARE PRACTICES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SKIN TYPE. INFORMATION ON OUR ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE. (530) 680.2027

WATER SOFTENERS A NO NO FOR ACNE...

ACNE CARE IN CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC 



ACNE TIP:  AVOID WATER SOFTENERS
This is a tough one! Water softeners are great on the hair, but not on acne-prone skin. Due to their high content of chlorine salts, especially potassium chloride, water softeners irritate the follicles triggering breakout in people prone to acne.  This includes the salts carried in the water vapor from a hot shower.

ACNE TIP ON SUNSCREEN...

ACNE PRODUCTS IN CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

ACNE TIP:
WEAR PROFESSIONAL SUNSCREEN

Always use a professional sunscreen purchased from a licensed skin care professional or dermatologist. Professional sunscreens contain higher active ingredients than over-the-counter sunscreens, thereby, providing greater protection from damaging UV rays.  Save the Banana Boat and other over-the-counter sunscreens for areas of your skin that aren't prone to acne! Your sunscreen should contain at least 7% zinc oxide or 7% titanium dioxide. A combination of these two minerals makes for potent protection.

There are certain mineral make-ups that provide adequate protection, but why settle for adequate when you can have superb? For greater protection, apply professional sunscreen followed by a quality mineral make-up. For those using acne products or receiving acne therapy, reapply sunscreen (mineral veil optional) every 1 to 2 hours - rain or shine.

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC IN CHICO, CALIFORNIA IS OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BY APPOINTMENT. THE FIRST STEP TO GETTING CLEAR IS SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION. (530) 680.2027
