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.

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!"
