LILLY'S ACNE TREATMENT TESTIMONIAL

ACNE TREATMENT TESTIMONIALS  916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC IN CHICO, CA

"All I can say is everything was sooo so worth it! All it takes to get clear is sticking to the routines and patience!! With both of these you will get clear for sure! I have never invested in anything better than going to 916SKIN.  I had the worst acne, and it just kept getting worse and worse. I felt insecure and just depressed about it. I wouldn't go out or do anything and I always wanted to hide. I have spent so much money between Wal-Mart, Target, Pro-active and online acne products. I even went to an esthetician and a dermatologist, which didn’t help either. Then I saw a doctor for acne laser treatments, and still, nothing worked. I literally have tried EVERYTHING! Every acne product or acne remedy I tried just made my skin worse. When I scheduled my acne consultation I was a little skeptical at first. But when I met with Tatja, I listened to everything she said, and I did everything she said. I started all of her acne products and treatments, didn't miss a thing. My skin cleared up in about 3 months. I never thought I would get this clear. My skin has just gotten better and better every day. I haven't had one pimple, and it feels so good to wake up and have clear soft skin!! My face is clear, bright, and looks amazing! I feel sooooo so happy now, confident, and social. Tatja is very caring, she doesn't only give you beautiful amazing skin, but she understands you. I would always tell her how having acne made me feel. I didn’t just get acne treatments, It’s like I got acne therapy too, which took care of my emotions throughout this whole process. She is amazing, and for the first time in my life I am getting compliments on my skin! I will never have to question what works or be uncomfortable with my skinever again! I'm so happy! I can't even describe it. I'm so glad I found 916SKIN! I will make sure I go here forever, and I will never touch anyone else's acne products EVER AGAIN!"

ACNE & THE 2 MONTH RULE

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

Any successful acne treatment is going to require a daily skin care regimen. Whichever acne regimen your practitioner prescribes, follow it carefully for at least 2 months. If you see noticeable improvement, chances are it will give you the motivation to continue your daily routine. Often times it can take up to 2 months before you notice any significant improvement - so stick with it! If, after 2 months, you haven't noticed much improvement, don't despair. Your skincare protocol may just need some tweaking - an additional product, a different concentration, swapping one product out for another, using a product differently... there are many tweaks that can be made to make for a successful acne system when you're in the right hands.

THE POWER OF HYDRATION FOR ACNE

THERAPEUTIC ACNE TREATMENT IN CHICO, CA  916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Keeping your skin hydrated especially during the summer can help control acne symptoms. Knock back lots of healthy fluids. Drinking 8 to10 glasses of water each day will help keep you hydrated, regular and detoxified. And yes, keeping your bowels regular promotes clear skin by flushing toxins - so drink up! When selecting your acne skincare products, say "yes" to water binding ingredients like gycerine, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid binds 200 times its weight in water! Also, say a big "YES" to dimethicone, which seals the skin and helps prevent water loss without any sort of oily feel. Patients LOVE the dimethicone!

SUNCREEN WITH A BOOST HELPS ACNE SCARRING

ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

HARDER WORKING SUNSCREEN DOESN'T MEAN MORE!

Find yourself a sunscreen that is boosted with anti-oxidants for added protection from the oxidizing and aging effects of free radicals emitted from ultra violet rays. Green tea extract, milk thistle, caffeine and vitamin C are powerful anti-oxidants that go a long way in preserving the skin's integrity, and can help prevent pigmented acne scarring, known as PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Anti-oxidants also give an added boost of protection against environmental pollutants, knocking out free radicals before they damage your skin.

Clear Skin Starts With A Clean Brush...

ACNE SKIN TREATMENTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

According to a British study, 72% of women NEVER wash their makeup brushes!

Getting rid of acne relies on many factors. It's accumulative. So, the more steps you take, consistently, the better your chances!

Start by cleaning your makeup brushes once a week. It's simple and easy. Put a pea sized amount of face cleanser into the palm of your hand. Wet your brush and swish it around in your palm. Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Pat dry. Lay flat to air dry.Take care to keep the brush fibers facing down and to not submerge the brush as this can loosen the glue that binds the fibers together.

ACNE REGIME, REGIMEN, OR REGIMENT???

ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA  916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

If you are following an acne skincare "regimen," it can also be said that you are following an acne skincare "regime" because the word "regime" is synonomous with the word "regimen."

An acne skincare "regiment” on the other hand, would be an incorrect use of the the term because "regiment" as a noun refers to a type of military group. However, when used as a verb, "regiment" means to manage or treat in a rigid or disciplined manner. So, one could say, "the 916SKIN Acne Treatment Program  is a regimented regimen."

HOW TO TREAT A PUSTULE...

ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA  916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

You know you're not supposed to pick at acne, but how can you resist when you've got a third eye staring back at you in the mirror???

A pustule, is a type of pimple that is typically red around the base with a white pus-filled cap. The follicle is swollen with bacteria and cellular waste, which causes the opening of the pore to enlarge. Pustules can be easily extracted with very minimal damage to the skin... when done properly. But, most of the time we end up making it look even worse by picking at it!

TIPS FOR TREATING PUSTULES:
#1) Ice. Icing for 2 minutes morning and night will reduce the swelling and help prevent scarring.
#2) Don't scrub, rub or use a brush. Be gentle with inflamed acne.
#3) Cleanse. Gently cleanse with mild cleanser using your finger tips.

#4) Exfoliators. Lactic, salicylic, glycolic depending on your skin type to open the pustule.
#5)Anti-bacterials. Kill those little suckers populating your follicles!
#6) Protect. Non-pore clogging sunscreen to protect and prevent pustule scarring.
#7) Acne Specialist. See a specialist to learn which acne products are best for you.

GREEN TEA & CLEAR SKIN...

ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Eventually, your skin WILL reflect what you put into it! Tea is a comforting ritual in which your mind, body AND skin can benefit.  Tea is packed with powerful phenolic anti-oxidants that help reverse inflammation, fight cancer, prevent heart disease and promote weight loss. 

Green tea has received a lot of attention due to its high content of polyphenols called catechins. The most potent type of green tea catechin is epigallocatechin gallate, also known as EGCG. Studies show that EGCG is a potent antioxidant, which inhibits inflammation and promotes the death of cancerous cells. Regular consumption of green tea is associated with a reduced incidence of several types of cancer and of heart disease. Using healthy individuals, controlled testing shows that: 

2 CUPS/DAY: decreases measures of oxidative stress and DNA damage in blood.  
3 CUPS/DAY: reduces the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol, a significant factor in the development of heart disease. The beneficial effects of green tea are accompanied by a decrease in inflammation of the arteries, another important factor in preventing heart disease.  
4 CUPS/DAY: of decaffeinated green tea produces significant antioxidant effects for cigarette smokers, whose bodies are exposed to greater oxidative stress than are non-smokers’.

What Do Onions and Acne Have In Common?

ACNE TREATMENTS IN CHICO, CA  AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

CELL-TURN-OVER!!!  WHAT IS IT?

Cell-turn-over occurs when dead surface skin cells slough off throughout the day. Cell-turn-over takes place every day - all day, and makes up a good portion of the dust in our homes.  These  old cells are replaced by younger cells, which have made their way up to the skin's surface. While these younger cells are also DEAD, they haven't been dead as long and have retained some youthful qualities. The quicker your cell-turn-over rate the healthier your skin will look. 

Our skin is similar to that of an onion. The outer most layer of an onion eventually becomes dry, cracked and wrinkled. If you peel back its outer layer, the onion has a smooth, hydrated, fresh appearance. The same is true of our skin. Through proper skincare products we can speed up cellular-turn-over.  Not only will cell turn-over improve the health and vitality of our skin, it will also help control acne!

Teaching Kids Good Skincare Habits

ACNE SKIN CARE IN CHICO, CA  AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Teach your kids good skin care habits! This will help them have healthy clear skin in the years to come. Start out by getting them in the habit of cleansing their face every night and applying sunscreen every morning.

Once their hormones kick in, you will want to keep a watchful eye for changes in their skin. If they begin developing larger pores and oilier skin, it will be necessary for them to wash their face every morning and every night. Oilier skin requires a sunscreen that is lightweight, oil free, and noncomedogenic (non-pore clogging).

If you begin to see blackheads or whiteheads get them in for a skincare consultation right away. Getting a jump start on acne before it gets out of control can save you a lot of time and money!

Ginger Tea - Healthy Skin & Slimmer You...

ACNE SCAR TREATMENT IN CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Ginger root is a rhizome from the ginger plant that can be found in the produce section of your local grocery store.

Ginger Tea:
Slice off about an inch of the ginger root and cut into a few large chunks. Toss that in your mug along with half a squeezed lemon and add just-boiled water. Once your tea has cooled for a couple of minutes stir in raw honey (this is an attempt to preserve the beneficial enzymes in the honey). Yum!

Drinking ginger-lemon tea throughout the day, not only helps promote healthy skin, but it promotes a flatter tummy! Ginger helps regulate metabolism, reduces cortisol production (stress hormone that leads to belly fat), increases energy, stimulates digestion, and helps control inflammation.

Cake... Ice Cream... Acne...

ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA      DRUG FREE. ACNE FREE

When you go to a friend's house they give you a glass of wine. When you come to my house, you get a green smoothie.

While my husband has grown accustomed to my green smoothies, I'm certain his fantasies include coming home to me pulling lasagna and cookies from the oven in nothing but an apron. So, on Sundays, I throw him a bone by making gluten free blueberry pancakes. And, a few times a year, I pull out all the stops and make omelets, bacon, AND gluten-packed french toast. Occasionally, we gorge on Haagen Dazs ice cream and the disgustingly delicious trans fatty pre-packed cake from Safeway.  But, in between the splurges, we juice, we blend, we salad, we heart homemade soups with organic whole grains, eat lots of healthy fats, fish, steak, chicken and shrimp! And tons of vegetables!

Eating nutritiously doesn't require you to be perfect! Eating nutritiously doesn't mean you can't eat the cake AND the ice cream!  It just means, you eat the cake AND the ice cream A WHOLE LOT LESS!
