SUGAR BINGES DESTROYING YOUR SKIN...

CONTROLLING BREAKOUTS YUBA CITY, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When it comes to breakouts, sugar is your enemy! When you fall off the wagon and go on that sugar binge, use the following precautions: Take 1000mg vitamin C and high potency B complex 3 times a day as well a mineral complex with additional magnesium, chromium and zinc to help control acne flare-ups.

Sugar triggers your stress response, it weakens our immune system, and robs our bodies of important vitamins and minerals needed to support these functions. Proper nutrients, help support a healthy body and clear radiant skin.

CLEAR SKIN IS POSSIBLE IN 3 SHORT MONTHS. PLEASE CALL THE ACNE EXPERTS AT 916SKIN. (530) 680.2027

KILL THE COLD AND THE BREAKOUT...

Anything that suppresses your immune system has the potential to make you breakout if you are prone to acne, including a cold or flu. Prevent potential breakouts by pulling out all the stops at the first sign you're getting sick!

Avoid putting crap in your body! This means processed food, junk food, fast food, deep fried food, sodas, coffee drinks, energy drinks, etc. Instead, eat fresh fruit, veggies, lean meats like chicken or fish, raw nuts, seeds, homemade soups, ginger tea from the actual root with lemon and a little honey. Drink at least 2 liters of lemon water throughout the day. Take high doses of vitamin C and Zinc. Take vitamin A, E, Oil of Oregano and Astragalus. Eat lots of garlic, herbs and natural spices. Go to bed early for a change and get 8 to 12 hours of sleep. Wake up the next day bug and acne-free!

DON'T RUN OUT OF ACNE PRODUCTS - EVER...

As our skin clears from acne, we often think, we don't have to work as hard to keep it clear, as we did, to get it clear. So it begins... we spend the night at a friends and forget to do our routine... We go away for a weekend and forget to bring our products... We intend to order more acne supplies, but keep putting it off. At first, our skin may appear fine - a little grainy is all. Take warning! That grainy, bumpy  feeling on your skin is often the development of prepimples lurking below the surface. In time, those small bumps will likely turn into pimples and you will be back at square one.

Don't let this happen to you! Consistency is the key to keeping your skin clear. Don't skip your skincare routine - not even once. Order your acne products before you run out. Bring your products with you even if it's only one night. You've worked hard to get your skin clear - keep it that way!

GIVE KIDS A HEAD START...

ACNE SKIN CARE OROVILLE, CA

Teaching your kids good skin care habits may prevent breakouts and helps them have healthier skin later in life. Give kids a head start - get them in the habit of cleansing their face and applying sunscreen everyday.

Their skin care routine should be done along with brushing their teeth and hair. A gentle cream cleanser is best for the prepubescent years. Once their hormones start kicking in, watch for skin changes. If they begin developing larger pores and oilier skin, have them cleanse their face every morning and every night with a gentle gel cleanser. Oilier skin requires a sunscreen that is lightweight, oil free, and noncomedogenic (non-pore clogging).

If they develop a dry skin type, they can stick to cleansing once in the evening with a cream cleanser, but they may also need a moisturizer. There are many professional broad spectrum sunscreens that provide extra moisture. This helps keep the number of steps minimal.

If you need help with skin typing or selecting skin care products, schedule an evaluation with a skin care professional. This will allow them to get a head start on any potential problems that may be lurking below the skin's surface!

TAZORAC FOR ACNE...

TREATING ACNE WITH TAZORAC SACRAMENTO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Allergan's Tazorac is one of the brand names for the compound tazarotene, commonly prescribed by dermatologists for the treatment of acne and psoriasis. Tazorac is a type of topical retinoid (vitamin A derivative) available at 0.05% or 0.1%  in a cream or gel. Retinoids regulate the growth of skin cells, and can be beneficial in acne products as well as anti-aging products due to their ability to speed up cell-turn-over.

Prescription retinoids can be irritating to the skin, and often set acne patients back, due in part to their ability to over dry and irritate the skin. While certain retinoids can be helpful in treating acne, retinoids alone will not get you clear. The most effective treatment for acne is a combination of active ingredients where the selection is based on your skin type and the condition of your acne.

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC TAKES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TREATING ACNE. WE DO NOT PRESCRIBE ACNE MEDICATIONS. FOR A CONSULTATION: (530) 680.2027

LOURDES' SUCCESS STORY...

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

"Growing up, I never had bad acne. It wasn’t until college that I started to break out terribly. I remember buying so many different skincare products and nothing helped. For about two years, I just covered my acne with makeup as best that I could.

By my senior year in college, I'd had enough. After seeing the before and after photos on the 916SKIN website, I was set on checking the place out. During my consultation, I was nervous and doubtful that these acne treatments would work, and Tatja saw that right away. She assured me, that if I trusted her and stuck through the process, I would get results. Tatja is absolutely amazing at what she does! She is so gentle with your skin and talks to you about things that can be affecting your breakouts. She is always willing to answer questions no matter what time of day it is, and I always enjoyed going in just to talk about anything with her. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found her because she made me feel so much more confident about my skin and about myself on my last year of college.

After graduation, I moved away, but I still continue to buy her acne products because they are AMAZING. I could never use anything else! Thank you Tatja for being so kind, helpful, and for saving my skin!"

FAST FOOD FOR ACNE...

ACNE DIET IN OROVILLE, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

The Magic Bullet, one of the most import kitchen appliances you can own, especially if you have acne. Good nutrition is key to clearing acne. Many of us don't have the time to make a home cooked meal, nor are there many healthy options when you're on the go.

Blending some veggies with a serving of berries, protein powder and a healthy fat is a quick and easy way to get a dose of nutrition, to-go. A smoothie shouldn't replace a wholesome meal, but if your only other option is junk or processed food - save your skin and take a veggie smoothie to go!

CHERRIES OVER ACNE...

Vitamin C supports adrenal glands and helps control acne. Vitamin C is destroyed when exposed to air. Freshly sliced cucumbers lose up to 49% of their vitamin C content when left exposed for 3 hours. Cantaloupe loses 35% of its vitamin C content within 24 hours when cut and uncovered. To maximize the vitamin C content of food, don't cut or chop fruits and vegetables until you are ready to eat.

Acerola cherries, red chili peppers and guava contain the most potent amount of vitamin C. Red sweet peppers, red chili peppers, kale, parsley and collard greens are the VEGETABLES with the highest vitamin C content. Next in line, cruciferous vegetables, and oranges contain a moderate amount, but only when eaten in season.

DO ORGANIC ACNE PRODUCTS WORK...

Your acne skin care system has gotten you clear and kept you clear for the past year, but now, you want to try using natural products. I see this occasionally at my acne clinic in Chico, and after 2 to 3 months clients ALWAYS come back. As an acne specialist, I would love to offer simple, clean, organic skin care products for acne, but they just doesn't work.

Professional acne products are much stronger than over-the counter products, but not as strong as prescription strength - so the professional acne products provide a healthy balance while being highly effective when used in a specific way.

Dabble in the organics, if you must, and we'll see you in a few months.

MOMS - You're the one person in your kids life who loves them unconditionally and without judgement. Be careful of what you say when you come into the treatment room. Even comments that are said innocently can crush their spirit in an instant.

It's embarrassing for many teenagers to have to have acne treatments. Then, their makeup is stripped away and their skin is inspected under a magnifying lamp. This is absolutely mortifying for most.

They're counting on you, mom! ...to be the one person in their life that sees everything that is beautiful about them. So, if you don't have anything positive to say about their skin, JUST ZIP IT!

DON'T CHERRY PICK YOUR ACNE PRODUCTS...

Acne products in Chico, Ca should not burn or make your face red. Cherry picking your skincare products will put you on the fast track to overstimulated, irritated and broken out skin. Selecting a system from ONE professional skincare line will help ensure that your products are formulated to work together. There is always the risk of being sensitive to a particular ingredient. To avoid "irritation" issues, which often result in breakouts, make sure the products are tested on your skin before you purchase them.

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU...

This truck driver of 28 years could have saved his skin by simply reapplying broad spectrum sunscreen every 1 to 2 hours.

Clients often confess that they don't reapply their sunscreen because, after all, they're only driving or walking from class to class - not enough time to do any damage, right?

It's not just the sun you need to be concerned with, it's the UV rays. UVA rays cause skin cancer, skin aging AND they penetrate clothing and glass. UVA bounces off of streets, cars, rocks, stop signs - right through your window and onto and INTO your skin.

IF you have acne, left over dark marks from acne, or are using acne products, the sun and UV rays will only exacerbate your condition.

NOT ALL SUNSCREENS ARE ALIKE. LET AN ACNE SPECIALIST HELP YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR SKIN. 530.680.2027

BREAKOUTS FROM BIRTH CONTROL PILLS

CONTROLLING ACNE IN CHICO, CA

Birth control pills can deplete the body of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), leading to acne and heightened pre-menstrual symptoms. Manage your breakouts by including foods that are rich in B6. Tuna, turkey (light meat), beef, wild salmon, sweet potatoes, sun flower seeds (raw), spinach and bananas are good dietary sources of vitamin B6. The right foods combined with the proper skincare products will help keep your acne under control.

ACNE PRODUCTS THAT WILL AGE YOUR EYES...

BEST ACNE TREATMENTS CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Your acne skincare products are formulated for your breakout zones not your eye area. Acne products typically contain ingredients such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic and mandelic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol or tretinoic acid. While beneficial for acne, these ingredients are way too harsh for the the delicate skin around your eyes. The highly concentrated actives found in acne products are designed to be drying and will suck the life out of the delicate skin that surrounds your eyes.

Bottom line: Keep acne products below the orbital bone and wash acne products off your hands before applying eye treatments.

WHY RED IS NOT YOUR COLOR...

SKIN TREATMENTS FOR ACNE SCARS IN CHICO, CA

Leave the red face for the monkeys! Chemical peels for the treatment of acne can be very effective. Doing activities that make your face red AFTER your peel... not effective!

Skin that turns red has a chance of hyperpigmenting (turning darker in color/pseudo scarring). The few days following an acne peel, your skin is more likely to turn red and stay red for a prolonged period time from activities that heat your face. As a precaution, avoid intense workouts, saunas, hot tubs, hot showers and prolonged sun exposure for 3 days following your chemical peel.

Should your face overheat and turn red, apply ice to help prevent hyperpigmentation. You can still exercise, you can still shower - just go easy on the heat!

BREAKOUTS AFTER LATE NIGHT OUT...

ACNE EXPERT IN CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

 It's a late night, you've had a lot to drink, and the only thing you want to do when you get home is pass out. You should know, your skin will pay the price. Alcohol puts stress on the liver. Sugar alcohols and sugar in your cocktails weaken the immune system. A late night and not enough sleep puts stress on the adrenal glands. These physiological stresses can lead to bad breakouts for the acne-prone. Not doing your skin care routine when you get home at 3am is just icing on the cake.

Help keep acne under control by doing your skincare routine in the evening before you go out. Also, loading up on vitamin C, high potency B complex, liver support supplements and water will work in your skin's favor. If you're prone to acne and late night are a regular thing, your skin won't stand a chance!

CAN PALOVIA LASER BE USED FOR ACNE...

In the past decade, Palomar Medical revolutionized the at-home laser treatment with the Palovia Skin Renewing Laser. Lately, I've had several people ask me about Palovia, and whether this type of laser is for acne or acne scarring. Palovia is for neither. In fact, it was designed for anti-aging and has been discontinued.

Research dermatologists and laser physicists at Palomar began experimenting with non-ablative fractional laser treatments over 20 years ago. Non-ablative, meaning the outer layer of skin remains in tact, and fractional, meaning to treat a fraction or portion of the skin with each application of light. This equates to faster healing and fewer risks.

While a non-ablative, fractional laser can be beneficial for acne scarring to a certain degree, there are much more effective treatments than Palovia home laser. If you're considering buying one on ebay for your acne scarring, your money will be much better spent on professional laser treatments or stem cell injections.

WHY CHLOE DIDN'T STAY CLEAR...

HOW TO STAY CLEAR CHICO, CA

Chloe had been on the acne program for 4 months. Her skin was softer and smoother, the redness was gone, and aside from the occasional pimple, her skin was completely clear of acne. She went home for the summer, ran out of her products, but was staying clear... for a while. She continued using her cleanser, toner and moisturizer because that was what she had left. She figured, since she was staying clear she didn't need the other acne products. Over time, her skin became grainier - rough. The tiny bumps became bigger bumps. By the time summer was over, she was back to square one with moderately inflamed acne. The interesting part, is that she didn't understand why. She thought, that because she was still doing part of her routine that she should stay clear. It doesn't work that way.

People who have acne need actives, and typically, they need several. Chloe could have stayed clear if she would have continued using all of her products, which had been customized specifically for her acne. The key is - don't run out of product. Order more BEFORE you run out. Just one or two days without your actives is enough to begin seeing subtle changes in your skin.

KELSEY'S ACNE TESTIMONIAL...

FOR A SKINCARE CONSULTATION CALL: 530.680.2027  
HERE"S WHAT KELSEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE AT 
916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC IN CHICO, CA: 

"I have been battling acne for about twelve years now. My first memories of junior high and high school include shying away from making new friends due to being self-conscious about my pimply skin. Starting in sixth grade, classmates would ask me “What’s that on your face?” “Why do you have so many pimples?” because it was such a new thing for kids that age. Once my pimples progressed to full blown acne my freshman year in high school, my father finally agreed to bring me to a dermatologist. I had already tried Proactiv, Neutrogena, Clinique, countless over-the-counter “solutions”. Nothing worked. I also knew I would never risk taking Acutane. I was put on oral birth control pills, given erythromycin as a topical agent, tried doxycycline and a few other oral antibiotics. None of it helped. There were days where I felt so awful and embarrassed about the condition of my skin that I’d refuse to go to school. I felt helpless. I found an acne clinic in the east bay area where I grew up and was able to get clear through a multitude of treatments. Once I stopped going, the at home regimen wasn’t successful at keeping me clear. I moved to Chico for college, remained semi-clear with the products from that location. By the age of 22, I was right back where I started. Deep cysts covered my cheeks and neck and around my mouth. My lymph nodes were swollen because my face was technically infected from all the acne. It was the most difficult thing to go through again and again. I could feel and see peoples’ eyes on my pimples during conversation. Here I was – a 22 year old college woman afraid to talk to new people because of my skin. I would avoid certain lighting that I knew my skin would look worse in, or position myself so as to place people on the not-so-bad side on my face at the moment, depending on where majority of my pimples were. 

I was fed up, again.

I found Tatja on Google, and saw her website and jumped right on it. A short 6 months later and I was clear!!

I never worry about not having makeup on anymore. I feel so comfortable in my own skin now. I never thought my skin would be not only free of pimples, but also healthy and glowing. Finally! No more limiting my social interactions, no more painful, irritated, inflamed, skin. I feel forever grateful for Tatja and her talents as an acne specialist. I am able to be 100% myself 100% of the time. Trust what Tatja tells you about how to treat your skin. I haven’t been this satisfied in years. She is kind, gentle, understanding and won’t give up on you. What a wonderful woman, even outside of her profession. Come to 916 Skin and love yourself and your skin as much as you deserve to."

~ Kelsey Barnett ~ Chico, Ca.

WHY IS MY SKIN BALLING UP...

CHICO SKIN CARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE

Yes, it's frustrating when you apply make up and your acne care products start balling up on on your face. Giving each product time to penetrate between layers will help prevent pilling.

After I wash and tone my skin in the morning, I apply my exfoliating serum and then go make my bed. Next, I apply my vitamin C serum and eat breakfast. After that, I apply my peptides and get dressed. Next, moisturizer... make tea. Apply makeup, give my dog a scratch and I'm off to work - with no pilling!

ACNE & PRODUCT-INDUCED DRYNESS...

ADULT ACNE TREATMENT OROVILLE, CA

If you suffer from acne and dry skin, the question is whether your skin is genetically dry, age-dry or product-induced dry. If you have genetically dry skin, you have smaller tighter pores, are prone to fine lines and have never had to battle oil. In fact, your skin will benefit from oils - the right kind. Oils can penetrate moisturizers, but moisturizers do not effectively penetrate oils so applying a small amount of sunflower or olive oil over your moisturizer can help prevent fine lines and keep your skin happy.

Age-dry skin comes with age as even the oiliest skin dries out as we get older. Product-induced dryness comes from using products that are either too strong, have a pH that is not compatible, ingredients that aren't compatible or are simply the wrong products for your skin, all together.

An acne specialist can test products on your skin and customize a skincare system specifically for your skin type so that your skin becomes clear, healthy and happy!

ACNE SPECIALISTS ARE RIGHT HERE IN CHICO READY TO HELP YOU GET CLEAR. MOST CLIENTS EXPERIENCE CLEAR SKIN IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS.

ACNE SERUMS FIRST...

ACNE PRODUCT CONSULTATIONS CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC



When in doubt, apply your products thinnest to thickest. This means serums first. Serums have active ingredients that target acne and other skin concerns. We want the actives to sink deep into the skin. If serums are applied over moisturizers or sunscreens, they will sit on top of the skin wasting your money and your efforts.

After cleansing and toning, apply your serums. Serums that are acidic should be applied before other serums. Acidic serums are those such as vitamin C, glycolic, lactic, mandelic, citric or salicylic acid. Moisturizers and sunscreens go on after the serums, in that order.

The other factor to consider when layering acne products is pH. A particular product can be acidic, alkaline or neutral. Applying products that jump from one extreme pH to the other can cause burning, redness, irritation or dryness, as well as ineffective penetration of products. To prevent more breakouts, an acne specialist can test the pH of your products to ensure you are applying them in the correct order and to ensure your acne products are compatible.

COMING TO WASHINGTON STATE...

COMING SOON: ACNE CLINIC IN WASHINGTON STATE

Starting August 8th, I will be booking acne consultations in Chico for the week of August 17th. I look forward to catching up with you all.

I met up with my flight attendant friend in Bothell, Washington yesterdaay and made my way to San Francisco as a non-revenue passenger on an over sold flight. Haha, the odds were in my favor and we made it to SFO with no delays. A quick taxi ride to her crash pad with all my camping gear - ughhh - up at 4:30am to catch a early morning flight, and I'll be home sweet home by tomorrow noon.  So excited to surprise my dog, who is, without a doubt, feeling completely abandoned by now. I'm looking forward to getting back to regular life - good meals, cozy bed and lovely fresh scented skin!

SAVE YOUR FACE & FIND YOUR PLACE...

GET HELP FOR ACNE IN CHICO, CA BY SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION.

As my uncle and I scanned the map of Western Washington for interesting places for me to visit on my road trip, he mumbled, "there's not much on Whidbey Island" - and right then, I knew, that was my next destination.

I'm drawn to life at a slower pace, small towns with an interesting history, a downtown that spans an entire block, woods secluded and leaping with wildlife. On Whidbey Island, there are... bunnies bouncing, deer frolicking, chipmunks flinging, bald eagles scouting and locals - who, when asking how you're doing, actually want to know, how you're doing.

Healing acne has much to do with minimizing stress and fostering joy. When you find a place that speaks to your soul, your dreams become more colorful. You may begin to imagine a life you have never imagined before. I encourage you to find YOUR place (or places), set your imagination free and create joy!

While hiking today in a local park in the rural area of Coquitlam, British Columbia, I heard a branch snap in the bushes behind me. I turned and poked my nose into the bush expecting to see a deer, and BAM, there was a bear 10 feet in front of me! Mesmerized, I didn't move, just watched in aw of this majestic creature. Tomorrow, I'm heading for Whidbey Island, Washington and the Deception Pass area - can't wait! Perhaps, the surrounding communities are in need of an acne specialist out there.

HOW TO NOT BREAKOUT OVER A FLAT TIRE...

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

It's day four of my road trip through the Pacific Northwest. So far, I've forgotten my purse with all my money, credit cards and passport in a restroom in which I had to drive back 2 hours to get. I've had a dead battery and a flat tire. Both the battery and the tire occurred in remote locations. In an attempt to prevent totally freaking out, and thus, breaking out, I've been exercising the Zen portion of my brain, which can be particularly challenging when your body is yearning for a big bowl of sustenance.

There's been a lot of deep breathing and snacking my way to tranquility - waiting for the Zen vibe to dominate me. As I crawled out of my tent to a lopsided truck this morning, I took some deep breathes, ate an apple with almond butter, took my B and C vitamins to support my adrenals, pulled out the manual and then proceeded to finesse my tire (that's not me in the photo - I was peaceful, not radiating joy).

Learning to manage stress can be one of the most difficult challenges, but can be an enormous help in controlling acne. When you feel the crazies sneaking in... just breathe.

WHERE OH WHERE IN WASHINGTON....

ACNE TREATMENT OPTIONS IN BUTTE COUNTY    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

It's day two of the Pacific Northwest and all its fresh grey glory and abundant energizing oxygen! I'm exploring new possibilities for an acne clinic in western Washington state. I ask my self  "where would it be of most service? Where would it be most accessible to those in surrounding areas?"

It appears people need help everywhere I go. There are currently acne clinics in Vancouver and Bellevue,Washington. They both have raving reviews. If only people knew how simple it was to clear their complexion with the help of an acne specialist. If you started now, you would feel much happier and confident by Christmas. If you're in Northern California, come see me at 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC in Chico.  Best of luck to you!

MOVIE SNACKS AND BREAKOUTS...

FIGHTING BREAKOUTS IN CHICO, CA

Sugar and bad fats are the culprits of many post movie breakouts. Movie treats like Skittles, Reese's peanut butter cups and movie theater popcorn (or microwave) can trigger breakouts practically overnight. Ask yourself, is 15 minutes of gratification worth 15 days of pimples?

Next time, bring your own popcorn! Homemade. As in make it on your stove top, homemade. Use coconut oil to pop, real organic butter to drizzle, a pinch of sea salt and brewer's yeast for flavor. Brewer's yeast is loaded with B vitamins, which support over worked adrenal glands to help prevent breakouts.

AUSTIN'S ACNE TESTIMONIAL...

READ MORE 916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT REVIEWS CHICO, CA 

"I have been going to 916SKIN for over a year now and have seen a huge change in my skin. When I first came to Tatja, I was a disaster. I had red acne patches all over my face. She greeted me warmly and made me feel really comfortable. As we went over my skin plan, Tatja also helped me understand the importance of nutrition and gave me a lot of dietary tips to help get rid of my acne. She does amazing work and got my skin cleared up in 4 months. Now, I go monthly for maintenance treatments and to have her make changes to my skincare routine if I need them. Thank you 916SKIN!"

Congratulations Austin, you've come a LONG way since I first began treating you! All your hard work has finally paid off. Your skin looks and feels incredible! Muy guapo mi amigo!

THE MOST DIFFICULT HABIT TO BREAK...

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

Picking at your skin can be one of the most difficult habits to break. This "how to stop picking" tip comes directly from one of our clients. Her advice was to wear a little make-up whether you need it or not, whether you're going out or staying in. Having make-up on makes her feel pretty and put together and keeps her from picking at her skin because she doesn't want to mess up her makeup. If it works for her maybe it could work for you, too. Make sure your makeup is entirely non-comedogenic. Just because it says it is on the container doesn't mean it won't clog your pores. If you're in Chico, I recommend Pure Skin downtown on 3rd for clean quality makeup options!

AFTER YOUR WORK OUT...

TREATMENT FOR ACNE FLARE-UPS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

You've had a great work out - a little sweaty, a little oily, but no time for a shower. You'll just run a few errands, whip up some dinner and shower later.
Bad move...

Just wash your face - that's it. That one simple step can help prevent more breakouts. Cleanse away the toxins so they don't irritate your pores. Cleanse away extra oil so it doesn't trap bacteria. Keep a mini-cleanser in your bag so you're not tempted to use the soap from the dispenser. One last thing, once you've got a clean face, throw on some light-weight, oil free sunscreen. Just one little clear skin tip from the the mountain of many!

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME...

I have been blessed with incredible acne clients in Chico, Ca. They are so much more to me than customers.

Something magical happens when you lay down and have someone work on your skin. It's the power of touch. And although, I am looking at you through a magnifying lens and performing extractions, you quickly learn that there is no judgement and you begin to feel very safe in my care.

Over the years, people have shared their stories, their challenges, fears, hopes and dreams. I've seen teenagers go back packing through Europe and India, move away to college, start their careers and grow up into beautiful, confident, amazing adults. I've seen people meet the love of their life, have their hearts broken, overcome cancer and have babies. Thousands have passed through my acne clinic and I often wonder how I got so lucky. Anyone one of these people, I could sit down and have a cup of tea with. I love my people.  I love their spirit. I appreciate and respect each and every one of you and am so grateful that you've shared a piece of your life with me. You make my job my passion. I look forward to seeing you walk through that door and telling me what's next... I pulled my grade up from a D to a B.  I turned down a job offer making 50K and decided to go backpacking through Europe instead!  I left my husband and I'm moving to Guatemala. I haven't got accepted to UC Santa Cruz yet, but I'm moving there anyway! I did my first marathon. I'm going to study in Korea for a year. He asked me to marry him! I'm pregnant. 

Thank you for sharing and thank for trusting me - with your skin and your stories!
All my love, Tatja

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS...

TREATMENT FOR ACNE FLARE-UPS IN CHICO

If you are prone to acne, make sure the windows are open and the fan is going while you are painting. I hear people talking of painting inside their house as an indoor project to keep cool. Painting, no matter how big or small the area, requires ventilation. Even low odor, low VOC or no VOC paints require ventilation. Paint fumes are not only tough on the delicate lining of your lungs, but your liver has to work overtime to metabolize the toxins. That causes unnecessary stress on your system, and as we know, any type of stress can cause an acne-flare-up. Save your skin and wait until the Fall or the Spring!

SQUEEZE OF LEMON PLEASE...

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC...       CLEARING ACNE IN CHICO, CA  

Minerals are necessary for a clear healthy complexion - and one of many steps you can take to start clearing up your acne!

Next time you eat your greens, squeeze a little lemon over the top. Vegetable are a rich source of minerals, but if the minerals aren't being absorbed into the blood stream - what a waste! All minerals should be combined with an acid in order to be absorbed efficiently. Asparagus, broccoli, spinach, to name a few, all absorb better with a squeeze of lemon. A little squeeze of citrus over your vegetable will ensure to get the very most out of them!

WATERMELON OVER ACNE...

916SKIN OFFERS NUTRITION CONSULTATIONS FOR ACNE IN CHICO, CA

Who doesn't like watermelon? Watermelon ranks in the top 10 fruits as being beneficial for acne-prone peeps. An entire watermelon? I think not... way too much sugar. But, in moderation, watermelon offers many nutritional benefits. It's rich in phenolic antioxidants, flavonoids, lycopene, beta-carotene and vitamin C. Different parts of the flesh contain different nutrients, so to reap the benefits, eat the flesh all the way down to the rind. The more red the melon the richer the nutrient content - so make sure its ripe. Watermelon is also highly alkalizing and people with acne need to consume plenty of alkalizing foods and bevies!
