ACNE & DRY WINTER SKIN...

ACNE TREATMENT OPTIONS REDDING, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC


It's December, temperatures are dropping, the air is getting dry, and so is everbody's skin. If it seems as if  your skin is going to crack when you smile, it's a sign that it's too dry. Skin that is too dry is more prone to acne breakouts.

Topical hydrating agents contain ingredients that are designed to bind water in the skin. Dimethicone based moisturizers act as a seal over the skin to prevent water from evaporating. There are certain sunscreens with similar hydrating properties. Hydrators, moisturizers and sunscreens should be applied in the morning and several times throughout the day to help protect vulnerable dry skin. Remember, if you are prone to acne, even the most expensive skincare products can clog your pores.

SEEK THE GUIDANCE OF AN ACNE SKINCARE SPECIALIST IN YOUR AREA TO ENSURE YOU ARE USING THE PROPER PRODUCTS FOR YOUR SKIN. ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.

WHO SHOULD USE EPIDUO...

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


Epiduo is an acne medication prescribed by many dermatologists for mild to moderate acne.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR EPIDUO:
2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
0.1% Adapalene (retinoid)

Although Epiduo is an effective form of treatment for some acne sufferers, successful treatment of acne requires a comprehensive and customized approach. Some individuals are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide and retinoids even when used at low concentrations, and therefore, require alternative treatment solutions. Getting rid of acne relies heavily on developing a skincare system that is compatible with your skin.

AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC, WE DEVELOP PERSONALIZED ACNE TREATMENT PLANS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A TREATMENT PLAN CUSTOMIZED JUST FOR YOU - PLEASE CALL 916SKIN TO SCHEDULE A CONSULT.   (530) 680.2027

ACNE: WHAT TO FEED THE ADRENALS...

ACNE THERAPY SACRAMENTO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Stress can be a major trigger for breakouts. Learning to manage your stress by supporting your adrenal glands will not only give you more energy, but can help control acne. This alone, will not get rid of acne, but when combined with the proper treatment and acne skincare system is highly effective. 

HOW TO SUPPORT THE ADRENAL GLANDS:

VITAMIN C with BIOFLAVONOIDS:  helps manage stress by supporting the adrenal cascade, strengthens the immune system

B COMPLEX VITAMINS:  helps manage stress by supporting the adrenal glands; brown rice is good source of  B vitamins

B5 VITAMIN/PANTOTHENIC ACID:  B vitamin that is a key player in the adrenal cascade; royal jelly is high in B5

L-TYROSINE:  amino acid that helps the adrenal glands function more effectively

GAMMA-LINOLENIC ACID (GLA):  essential fatty acid/healthy fat (omega-6) required by the adrenal glands to make steroid hormones; borage, evening primrose and black currant seed oils are high the GLAs.

ASTRALAGUS:  herb, also comes in extract form; strengthens the adrenals and the immune system

ELEUTHRO ROOT: prepares the adrenal glands for battle; should be avoided by those who have high blood pressure  

RAW ADRENAL: aids in proper adrenal function

CHICKEN SALAD HOLD THE MAYO...

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

Chicken salad - hold the mayo. There are many strategies you can take to help get rid of acne. Start by cutting out dairy from your diet. This is a tough accessory food to cut out, but eliminating dairy has had a significant effect on many of our patient outcomes. If eliminating dairy from your diet seems unrealistic, take baby steps. Start by limiting your intake of dairy to every other day for 2 weeks. Then, limit dairy to every 3 days for 2 weeks. You get the picture. Once you've found some replacement foods, it gets much easier.

CHICKEN SALAD HOLD THE MAYO:

- 3 to 4 boneless chicken breasts

- 2 cups chicken broth (used to bake chicken)

- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes

- 1 diced red bell pepper

- 1/2 cup diced red onion 

- 1 cup baby peas

- 1 1/2 cups hummus

- salt & pepper to taste

If using left over chicken or rotisserie chicken, skip the broth. If baking chicken, pour broth over breasts, cover, and bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix.

GLUTEN-FREE FOR ACNE...

NATURAL ACNE TREATMENTS CHICO       916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Stop by Bellachinos Cafe & Coffee House in Chico for a slice of gluten-free berry pie. It's refreshing to have pie that isn't overly sweet!

Part of managing breakouts is learning to manage diet. Many people have a some degree of Leaky Gut, and don't even know it. Leaky Gut, known more formally as "lncreased Intestinal Permeability," makes our bodies susceptible to food intolerance & sensitivities. While these sensitivities may be genetic, sensitivities also arise from eating the same foods, day in - day out. This is one of the reasons why so many Americans have developed a sensitivity to gluten or gliadin.

Symptoms of food sensitivities vary greatly and often go unnoticed.  They also may result in a variety of skin conditions including acne in those prone to the acne disease.

Grains with gluten: Wheat, Barley, Malt, Spelt, Rye & Oat (gluten-free oats are available)

HEALING ACNE WITH THE HELP OF STEVIA...

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

For many of us, sugar has become regular part of our everyday lives. So mush so, that when we have a mocha, a muffin, a soda or a fruit roll up, we usually think nothing of it. Sugar, is not only one of the top 5 acne triggers, but it also triggers an inflammatory response, weakens the immune system, and is at the root of many degenerative diseases.

Next time you need a sweetener, reach for the Stevia.  Stevia is an herb from the sunflower family that has been used as a sweetener for over two-hundred years. Use the leaves to sweeten sun tea or blend into a smoothie. Stevia is popular in its powder form, but check the ingredients as some contain lactose - another acne trigger. Look for Stevia as a pure extract.

It can take some getting used to, but will be much kinder to your body's pH and blood sugar. Kids like it too! My 10 year old niece prefers Stevia to honey in her tea and oatmeal.  More about Stevia.

NO PIMPLES FOR SLEEPING BEAUTY...

ACNE FACIALS CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Sleeping Beauty didn't have pimples.
We've heard it a thousand times for just about every ailment, "get plenty of rest."  The same is true for our skin. The body repairs itself the most while we are sleeping. Rest allows the body to spend its energy on repair instead of activity. The adrenal glands are restocked to help us manage stress, and new healthier skin cells rise to the surface - not just on our skin, but on all our organs.  

An acne system's best friend is SLEEP. Getting a consistent 8 hours of sleep each night will help heal acne faster and leave skin looking brighter and more refreshed.  A quick nap in the afternoon can ease stress and help keep breakouts under control.

SLEEP BY ITSELF, WILL NOT CLEAR ACNE. BUT, WHEN COMBINED WITH THE PROPER SKINCARE SYSTEM & PROPER TREATMENT, HEALTHY SLEEPING HABITS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. TO SCHEDULE YOUR ACNE CONSULT, PLEASE CALL THE CLINIC AT: 530.680.2027

CHOCOLATE ACNE FACIAL...

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

Dark chocolate can actually help protect the skin from damaging UV rays. But, researchers say don't slack on the sunscreen. Dark chocolate contains bioflavonoids, which can help protect the skin from sunburn and other signs of UV damage. Chocolate facials have gained popularity due to dark chocolate's ability to help repair and hydrate damaged skin. But, don't kid yourself, the chocolate facial does not clear acne.

To satisfy that sweet tooth, try a couple squares of dark chocolate with at least 80% cacao, a much healthier option for chocolate lovers and acne sufferers alike. Unalkalized dark chocolate has greater nutritional benefits, but can be a little tricky to find.

THE 916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM CLEARS ACNE IN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS. STUBBORN CONDITIONS TAKE LONGER TO CLEAR, BUT WITH PATIENCE & CONSISTENCY, YOU TOO CAN HAVE CLEAR HEALTHY SKIN!  FOR A CONSULTATION WITH A SPECIALIST PLEASE CALL: 530.680.2027

DESTRESSING FOR ACNE...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

It's time to destress. People prone to breakouts can get instant acne flare-ups when they are under stress. Learning how to manage stress is a helpful skill in the battle for clear skin! While these destressing tips may seem obvious, how many of us actually set aside time for pure uninterrupted relaxation?

FIVE WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS:
1.) Soak in a jacuzzi or hot bath.
2.) Take a long leisurely walk.
3.) Block out 2 hours over the weekend to nap.
4.) Set aside 10 minutes each day for yoga.
5.) Avoid the news, TV programs and movies that trigger feelings of anxiousness.

AN ACNE SPECIALIST AT 916SKIN WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM.  A CONSULTATION CAN BE SCHEDULED BY CALL THE ACNE CLINIC AT: (530) 680.2027
