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.
