FISH OIL - EVEN FOR OILY ACNE SKIN...

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE

Specific types of acne can develop as a result of an essential fatty acid deficiency. Long ago, humans ate oils in a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 essential fatty acids of approximately 1. Today however, the ratio is approximately 1 to 15. This fatty acid deficiency in omega-3s not only shows its affects on acne, but other inflammatory skin conditions as well as the inflammatory pathways that leads to the pathogenesis of many degenerative diseases.

OmegaPure 820 is an ultra pure fish oil derived from sardines and anchovies. The Certificate of Analysis, based on independent verification shows that it is completely free of heavy metals, PCBs and pesticides. OmegaPure 820 contains 320mg DHA and 500mg EPA, and has the added benefit of a capsule that breaks down in the small intestines to eliminate the chance of belching up fish odor!

EATING, BREATHING & ACNE...

TREATING ADULT ACNE SACRAMENTO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

How many times have you heard that relaxing during a meal improves digestion?  We're supposed to slow down, sit down, and take a few deep breaths before we eat. Enjoy our meal. Hang out a while. Why don't they ever tell us WHY? I mean, if we understood it - we might actually start doing it.

Well here's the nut shell version. When you relax (especially if you take a few deep breaths) it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (AKA: rest & digest), which sparks the vagus nerve, which goes straight to the stomach and tells it to release gastric juices. If you don't relax when you eat you're more likely to experience bloating, gas, increased levels of bad microbes, toxicity, and it can make you more prone to food sensitivities. There are many of us out there, who will experience eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and yes, acne - when the gut is out of wack. So next time you eat, take a few deep breaths and enjoy!

TREATING ACNE IS MULTI-FACTORIAL AND REQUIRES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH THAT TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE HELP

WHEN TO TAKE VITAMIN C...

ACNE SUPPORT CHICO, CA           916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE SPECIALISTS

Taking vitamin C during times of stress helps support the adrenal cascade, which, when combined with other strategies can help control breakouts. Taking vitamin C at the first sign of distress also gives your immune system a boost. When you don't provide your body with enough vitamin C through supplementation or diet, you can expect more breakouts during times of stress and a longer healing period.


WHEN TO TAKE VITAMIN C:
-when you get less than 8 hours of sleep
-when you have upcoming exams
-when you're stressed over a work event
-when you have a stressful job or a hectic school schedule
-when your immune system is running low

MACADAMIA NUTS FOR CLEAR SKIN...

HOW TO HAVE CLEAR COMPLEXION, CHICO     916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

Even people with oily problem skin need good healthy fats and oils in their daily diet.  Macadamia nuts are abundant in the oils needed to support a healthy clear complexion. Not only are macadamia nuts loaded with beautifying zinc and selenium, but they contain a whopping 80% monounsaturated fats, specifically oleic acid (omega-9), which is even higher in concentration than olive oil. Macadamia nuts are also abundant in palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that functions to protect the integrity of cell membranes and helps repair damaged and acneic skin.

Regular consumption of oleic acid has the added perks of lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol and decreasing its oxidation. It also improves the fluidity of cholesterol in the blood stream. Although macadamia nuts are high in calories, their raw fatty acids stimulate metabolism to burn fats more efficiently.

HOW TO SALT FOR ACNE...

ACNE THERAPY SACRAMENTO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

Iodide found in table salt is a well known trigger for many acne sufferers. This is mainly due to the high concentration of salt found in sodas, juices, energy drinks and processed foods. Iodide is an important nutrient required by our bodies to function efficiently. However, with the addition of many salt-laden foods and drinks in our diet, we often consume too much salt, which can create a host of physiological imbalances.

On the flip side, there are those who benefit from excess salt. In regard to acne sufferers, these are the people with adrenal fatigue, also known as adrenal insufficiency. This condition often results from chronic stress, but can develop due to the acute stress caused by a major life event such as surgery, pneumonia, divorce, bankruptcy, etc.  The acne patient with adrenal fatigue often benefits from additional salt, but not the type associated with junk and processed foods and drinks. Adrenal fatigue benefits from mineral rich sea salt.

DO I NEED TONER FOR MY ACNE...

ACNE FACE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE 

The main purpose of a professional toner is product penetration. The term "professional" is important here because the majority of over-the-counter acne care products are alkaline, which do not improve product penetration. The skin is naturally acidic, ranging in pH from 4.5 to 6.2. Typically, professional toners tend to be more acidic in their formulations, and are designed to lower the pH of the skin, which enhances the penetration of acid-based products. Acidic-based toners also include the additional perks of removing excess oil, residual make-up, cleanser and environmental pollutants. A good toner should leave the skin feeling fresh and clean without over drying. Moisturizing toners are available for acne types with dry skin.

PROPER SKIN CARE PRODUCT SELECTION IS IS CRITICAL IN GETTING RID OF ACNE. SKIN EVALUATIONS AND PRODUCT TESTING ENSURE THAT YOU ARE USING ACNE CARE PRODUCTS SELECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR SKIN. TO ENROLL IN OUR ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM , PLEASE CALL AND SCHEDULE AN ACNE EVALUATION.  (530) 680.2027

PAPER TOWELS FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN...

TREATING BACTERIAL ACNE CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE

Choose paper towels over bath/hand towels! When it comes to controlling acne, paper towels are a much cleaner choice than bath/hand towels. Even after just one use, bath/hand towels begin to harbor bacteria. When doing your acne skincare routine, everything that comes in contact with your skin should be clean. This means no one day old bathhand towels. Help reduce bacteria on the skin by using paper towels instead.
No rubbing, just pat dry to avoid irritation.

GETTING RID OF ACNE WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS IS VERY REALISTIC, BUT IT TAKES TIME AND A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE CARE PRACTITIONER IS THE FIRST STEP!

VITAMIN B12 FOR INFLAMED ACNE...

VITAMINS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE 

Vitamin B12 helps support the body's production of
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). B12 helps recycle used SAMe, which in turn helps keep homocysteine levels in check. Once SAMe is all used up, B12 converts the inflammatory promoting homocysteine back into methionine. This is where the cycle begins to repeat itself, and methionine is used to make more SAMe. This is important in regards to inflamed acne because it helps squelch the inflammatory pathway. Plus, you receive the added benefit of enhanced mood and cognitive function!

Vitamins for problem skin should be selected with the help of an Acne Specialist as each person requires different supplements, and some, require no supplements at all.

FOR HELP DETERMINING WHICH VITAMINS ARE NECESSARY TO CLEAR YOUR ACNE, PLEASE SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION. OUR COMPREHENSIVE ACNE PROGRAM DELIVERS RESULTS IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS. (530) 680.2027
