MY SKIN SAYS "HOLD THE GLUTEN"...

NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT IN CHICO, CA     916SKIN -ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

Some people struggling with acne are sensitive to gluten. This sensitivity, in certain individuals, can be the primary trigger for breakouts.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, spelt, barley and rye. Oats remain controversial. The gluten molecule looks similar to a mid-evil wrecking ball studded with spike-like structures. Similar to a lawnmower cutting grass, gluten mows the microvilli of the gut - slowly, over time.  Microvilli are essential to efficient digestion as they are responsible for breaking down and absorbing nutrients. As the microvilli are compromised, so is digestion. In some, poor digestion manifests as skin disorder(s) including acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema.

Completely eliminating gluten for 3 months will give you a good indicator of how, and if,  gluten affects you. It's easy to forget the extremity of your skin problems and other factors affecting your well being. Tracking your symptoms in a daily journal is important so that you have a more accurate picture of how gluten affects you.

COCONUT OIL FOR ACNE...

BREAKOUT TREATMENT CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE

Coconut oil is a definite no no if you are prone to breakouts. While coconut oil has many nourishing benefits internally and externally, it can lead to major congestion of the pores when it's applied topically. Using coconut oil on areas that don't breakout is healthful to the skin, but due to its comedogenicity, it's a poor choice on breakout zones.

RETINOL FOR ACNE...

HELP FOR ACNE IN CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Why retinol for acne? For starters, retinol is a retinoid, which is a topical formulation of vitamin A - think spinach, kale and carrots.

According to acne specialists, topical vitamin A is one of the number one ingredients for fighting acne. In order to decongest the pores, acneic skin requires help dumping old, damaged cells. The main purpose of a retinoid is to speed cell turnover, meaning dumping the old cells so they can be replaced by new, healthy cells. When the proper retinoid is used in combination with the right acne care system, not only does acne heal, but acne scars and discoloration fades, and fine lines and wrinkles soften.

FINDING THE RIGHT TONER...

FACIAL FOR ACNE CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

Managing acne requires a toner! The proper toner is key as it will lower the pH of your skin, allowing your other acne fighting products to penetrate better. The more your products sink in, the better they will work.

Drug store brands generally have a high pH. Not good! A high pH can encourage bacteria growth and will over dry the skin, compromising your skin's barrier function, and it's ability to heal - slowing the acne healing process.

A toner should be part of an complete acne care system that is formulated to work synergistically. Professional products can be purchased through many licensed skin care professionals. Your skin care provider should test products on your skin and select products that are compatible with your skin's chemistry. Happy skin is skin that heals!

ACNE & FLABBY LEG SYNDROME...

NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CENTER

Some of our acne clients are in their mid 20s, suffering from acne, and complaining of flabby legs. One may expect to have flabby legs later in life, but not when you're in your prime!

Low levels of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may result, not only in acne, but also what clients refer to as flabby leg syndrome. Birth control pills that are higher in estrogen will rob your body of the muscle building nutrients - B6. This means that no matter how much you work out, your muscles won't tone-up. Foods rich in B6, as well as a B Complex supplement will promote protein synthesis, help build muscle AND control breakouts.

Birth control pills also deplete the body of folic acid.

OHHHH THOSE MICROFISSURES...

CONTROL BREAKOUTS REDDING, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Changes in weather or a dry climate can create tiny cracks in the skin called microfissures. These cracks can go undetected by the human eye. Water inside the skin, evaporates through these cracks and the skin becomes dehydrated, which leads to a whole host of problems including redness, irritation and acne.

You need skin care products that hydrate and seal. Locking in moisture will help control breakouts.

PING PONG FOR ACNE...

ACNE CLINICS AUBURN, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Getting a teenager to stop picking at their acne is no easy task. Most times, they don't even realize their hands are on their face because they do it while they're doing homework or watching TV. Telling them not to do, anything, makes them do the opposite.

Nichole and her daughter Tazneme, came up with the code word "ping pong." Every time Nichole saw Tazneme picking at her pimples, Nichole would say "ping pong."  Tazneme was receptive to the code word because she came up with it herself and didn't feel like her mom was telling her what to do.

THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF PIMPLES IS TO TACKLE THEM FROM EVERY ANGLE. OUR ACNE SPECIALISTS CUSTOMIZE STRATEGIES & TREATMENTS THAT WORK TO GET RID OF ACNE FOR GOOD! CALL US TODAY: (530) 680.2027

KAITLIN'S ACNE TREATMENT REVIEW...

FACIALS FOR ACNE CHICO       916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

Here's what Kaitlin has to say about our Acne Skin Care Clinic in Chico, Ca.

"I've had acne since around middle school and always just assumed I was one of those people with bad skin. My acne continued to get worse as I got older and got to its worse state in my early to mid twenties. I had tried so many different acne products, even prescriptions from dermatologists and nothing worked. I finally found Tatja on Yelp and decided to give her method a try. I was a little skeptical at first because I felt like I would never have clear skin, but I stuck to the routine she developed for my skin. Within three months, just like she said, my skin started to clear up and has stayed clear. Now, I feel confident going out without makeup and my skin is softer than ever. Tatja is really phenomenal! She knows what she is doing and will get you feeling and looking your best!"  Kaitlin Tillet – Chico, CA

BLACKHEADS VS ACNE...

ACNE REMEDIES IN OROVILLE, CA    916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CENTER

Acne clients get frustrated when family members make comments like "you don't have acne." While the remarks are innocent, it is extremely annoying to the person suffering from non-inflamed acne.

Non-inflamed acne can be mild or severe and consists of blackheads and whiteheads, possibly accompanied by pimples. There is no redness associated with non-inflamed acne and it's much easier to conceal than the inflamed acne type. However, it is much more difficult to treat and can take twice as long to get rid of than inflamed acne.

Over-the-counter acne products WILL NOT clear non-inflamed acne. You need professional grade exfoliating products, selected for your specific skin and acne type, for use at home as well as in-clinic. The healing process typically takes 3 to 6 months for this specific type of acne.

TO FIND OUT WHICH TREATMENTS & ACNE CARE PRODUCTS WILL CLEAR YOUR ACNE, SCHEDULE A SKIN CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE EXPERT. (530) 680.2027

WHY DO MY ZITS SMELL...

NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CENTER


It's true, some zits stink. Typically, it's blackheads that can produce an odor. Just as the oil in your pantry can turn rancid so can the oil in your pores. Rancid oil can be an indicator of several things: blackheads that are old, lack of antioxidants and/or poor diet.


Blackheads will not go away on their own no matter how much you rub and scrub. Getting rid of blackheads requires treatment in combination with the correct products for your skin and acne type.

SEEK THE HELP OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST AND GET RID OF BLACKHEADS AND ZITS IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS.
