ACNE: TOO LAZY, BUSY OR COCKY...

 ACNE THERAPY SACRAMENTO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CENTER

So, you just bought a new acne therapy system for 150 bucks. You're motivated. You start out with a bang. Your skin begins improving in just a matter of weeks. Three months later, your skin is glowing and the acne is almost completely gone. At 5 months, you've got the skin of an angel. But suddenly, you get lazy or busy or sick or cocky or side tracked. Your skin starts to get bumpy and textured. Before you know it, your skin is a wreck and you're in full breakout mode. At this point, some people find it's easier to blame it on the skincare system rather than fess up and say "I slacked off."

In addition to how a skincare system is formulated, in order for it to yield results it must be used consistently. Typically, this means every morning and every night, which is really challenging for some, especially if they work long irregular hours, shuffle kids to and from school, study until 3 in the morning or are out partying all night. For others, it's as simple as not being able to stick to a routine. You may be on the most advanced acne skincare system on the market, but if you're not consistent with your products - it won't clear your acne!

THE HELP OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST WILL HELP KEEP YOU ON TRACK. TO HAVE AN ACNE SKINCARE SYSTEM CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU, PLEASE CALL US TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION. (530) 680.2027

DOES SMOKING CAUSE ACNE...

ACNE CURE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE

The operative word here is "trigger."  

The underlying cause of acne, is in part, genetic, and in part, unknown. Triggers, on the other hand, are abundant, and smoking is one such trigger. The reason being, stress. 

Stress weakens the immune system, and anything that weakens the immune system in the acne-prone person can result in a acne. Our bodies interpret stress triggers differently. Meaning, what one person's body interprets as stressful, another person's body may not. As an example, some individuals require 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night in order to maintain health and vitality; whereas, other individuals may only require 5 to 6 hours a night to maintain health and vitality. Now, if you are one of these people who need 8 to 9 hours of sleep, then not getting enough rest creates physiological stress that has the potential to trigger an acne flare-up. Meanwhile, your best friend is getting straight As and taking home medals at the swim meet on very little sleep and a glowing complexion. Irritating, I know.  

Here's where biochemical differences come into play. Your best friend may thrive on 5 to 6 hours of sleep, but smoking a single cigarette may trigger a breakout. Whereas, someone else prone to acne, may be able to smoke a pack a day with few repercussions on their skin due to their biochemical individuality.

AT 916SKIN, WE DEVELOP INDIVIDUALIZED ACNE TREATMENT PLANS. SKINCARE PRODUCTS, ACNE TREATMENTS AND NUTRITION PLANS ARE SELECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL.

THE POWER OF PINEAPPLE FOR ACNE...

INFLAMED ACNE CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

What is the one thing all acne diets have in common? Anti-inflammatory foods! Generally, this refers to fruits and vegetables, but not all fruits have anti-inflammatory properties and there are some that have greater anti-inflammatory properties than others. Meet Pineapple. In addition to promoting healthy anti-inflammatory pathways, pineapple has many health benefits.

The health of the gut often dictates the health of the skin in people prone to acne. Digestive enzymes, particularly bromelain found in pineapple, help breakdown protein and aid in healthy digestion. Always choose whole fresh or frozen pineapple to maximize the nutritional benefits.

TREATING INFLAMED ACNE IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH OUR ALTERNATIVE ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM WITH THE EXPERTISE OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST TO HELP YOU. TO SCHEDULE AN ACNE EVALUATION PLEASE CALL: (530) 680.2027

ARE BUGS CAUSING BREAKOUTS...

TREATING BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC



Yes, the influenza bug can trigger breakouts.
Any type of cold, flu or illness has the ability to trigger breakouts in the acne-prone. When the immune system goes into over drive, it places a higher demand on the adrenal glands. The body interprets this demand as a type of stress, and as we know, stress hormones fling the door wide open for acne invaders.




When you begin to feel run down taking the following precautions will give your body the fuel it needs to reduce stress and begin the process of rebuilding and recharging:
-Eliminate sugar
-Eliminate dairy
-Cut back on caffeine
-Eat a non-inflammatory diet rich in veggies and small amounts of fruit
-Eat foods that are easily digestible
-Get plenty of protein with each meal
-Drink 2 to 3 liters of water or herbal tea each day
-Get more rest then what your body typically requires
-Conserve energy by watching a movie or reading a book
-Supplement with vitamin C, B complex, and additional B5
-Supplement with a multi-mineral complex and additional zinc monomethionine

VALENTINES CHOCOLATE AND ACNE...

CAUSE OF  BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Will eating chocolate this Valentines Day make me breakout? Not if you do it right. You can say "yes" to dark chocolate this Valentines Day - any day, actually! But, it has to be dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao. What is known to trigger an acne-triggering inflammatory response in acne sufferers, is the high sugar and fat content in chocolate when too much or the wrong kind is eaten. Let me say this another way: it's o.k. to eat a SMALL amount of DARK chocolate. What's small? Two single squares from the chocolate shown above. Just enough to help lower blood pressure, help prevent cardiovascular disease and enough to satisfy a sweet tooth!

SPECIALIZING IN ACNE DERMATOLOGY, 916SKIN HAS AN ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM THAT CLEARS ACNE IN JUST 3 TO 4 MONTHS. PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR BEFORE AND AFTER ACNE PHOTOS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING: (530) 680.2027

DETOXIFYING ACNE WITH GINGER...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

Ginger looks like a root, but in fact, is a rhizome.  Ginger is well known for its gastrointestinal and immune boosting benefits. It is also a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and turbo detoxifier, making it a must-have in the pantry for those with inflamed and cystic acne. This sweat-stimulating spice flips the switch on perspiration to help boost the body's detoxification pathways.


Research indicates that sweat has powerful germ-fighting properties that may help ward off infections. Dermicidin, a protein synthesized in the sweat glands, is secreted into sweat and onto the skin where it protects against foreign invaders.

Suggestions for using ginger:
- Sliced and prepared as tea
- Grated and combined with soy sauce and sesame oil on salads
- Sautéed with veggies
- Grated and steamed with rice
- Juiced with other detoxifying veggies such as carrots, celery and beets

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

ENZYMES FOR ACNE...

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

As we get older, our bodies produce less enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that aid in digestion and whole body wellness. Dr. Samuel Meyers and research associates found that children had enzyme levels in their saliva that were 30 times higher than those over the age of sixty nine.


Without sufficient enzymes, we begin to develop a host of health problems including digestive imbalances, which in turn can lead to skin disorders including acne - especially those prone to the acne disease. The most natural source of enzymes are raw foods. Juicing raw fruits & vegetables provides the body with an abundance and variety of enzymes. Enzymes can also be found in capsule form at your local health food store, and can be taken with meals to improve digestion.

DO I NEED TO SHAVE IF I HAVE ACNE...

DERMATOLOGY CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

When it comes to facial hair, men's acne regimens can be a little tricky. Many men grow facial hair to cover-up their acne, so they're usually not very thrilled when they're told they need to shave. In order for most acne treatment procedures to be effective, you will need to lose the facial hair, guys.

Remember, the more it penetrates the better it works. Whether you are doing acne skin peels, laser treatments or light therapies - you need to lose the facial hair. The success of an acne program relies heavily on the homecare routine. In order for acne care products to give you results - they too, need to penetrate the skin.  Any type of barrier on the skin will impede the effectiveness of your skincare products.

DOES SUPERMAN HAVE ACNE?

ACNE MEDICATION CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Does Superman have acne? Doubtful, but even he should wear sunscreen. The higher you are in altitude, the closer you are to the sun.  This goes for flying in airplanes, too, because Ultra Violet light penetrates through the windows. UVA rays are deceptive because they don't tan or burn our skin, but they can cause serious damage especially to skin made vulnerable by the active ingredients in many acne skincare products. UVA rays are known as the "aging rays" and the "cancer causing rays." At 30,000 feet, your skin is also at risk of volatile UVC rays. Do your skin a solid and slather on the sunscreen before take off.

SKINCARE CONSULTATIONS FOR OUR THERAPEUTIC ACNE PROGRAM ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC.  THE 916 INTENSIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM ACHIEVES RESULTS IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS.

ACNE & FOOD SENSITIVITY...

ACNE TREATMENT OROVILLE, CA   916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

Food sensitivity can contribute to breakouts. Once food sensitivity/intolerance has been identified, the foods that provoke severe and moderate sensitivity should be entirely avoided. Whereas, foods that provoke mild sensitivity can be eaten every 4 days on a rotation basis.

Many food sensitivities/intolerances develop as a result of eating specific foods (e.g. tomatoes & cheese) everyday. When those foods (tomatoes & cheese) are entirely avoided for a specified period of time, the sensitivities/intolerances will likely go away. Food sensitivities are delayed reactions that can take up to 3 days for a wide variety of symptoms to manifest. This can make it extremely difficult to pinpoint without testing.
