BANANA ICE CREAM FOR BREAKOUTS...

One necessity for healing breakouts in Chico is limiting your sugar intake. High blood sugar triggers breakouts in those who are prone to acne. Thankfully, there are some delicious alternatives to alleviate your sweet tooth.

BANANA ICE CREAM:
-2 Frozen Bananas
-2 Tablespoons Almond Milk
-1 Tablespoon Almond Butter
-1 Tablespoon Whole Flax Seed
-1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
-Dash of Cinnamon
-Dash of Stevia
-Dash of Salt

Puree in blender. Top with dark chocolate shavings and slivered almonds. Serves two.

The almond butter and flax seed slow the uptake of sugar into the blood stream.
Regulating your blood sugar is an important step in clearing skin and keeping skin clear!

BEST FACE WIPES FOR ACNE...

Those receiving acne facials in Chico or doing an acne skincare regimen are more prone to skin irritations. Toxins released in sweat can irritate the pores, particularly in breakout zones.

Yes To Cucumber, are non-pore clogging face wipes that can be used to remove sweat, chlorine and other potentially irritating substances from the skin. There are dozens of brands of facial wipes on the market, but Yes To Cucumber is the only brand I've found to be completely non-comedogenic and beneficial for the acne-prone.

After the gym, soccer practice, swimming, etc., wipe skin with a face wipe and apply sunscreen.

SUNSCREEN INDOORS, REALLY???

Many acne clients in Chico are surprised when I tell them to wear sunscreen indoors. Acne skincare products and
in-clinic acne treatments cause the skin to be more sensitive to the sun and its UV rays.

UVA rays penetrate clouds, bounce off of objects, through glass, through clothing, and onto your skin! Certain indoor lighting emit small amounts of UVA.

Day after day, these rays increase your risk for skin cancer and accelerate the aging process.

DO YOUR SKIN A SOLID, WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY & CALL THE ACNE SPECIALISTS OF CHICO: 530.680.2027

PRECAUTIONS WITH RETINOL...

Retinol Treatments for acne can be beneficial for non-inflamed acne types. Retinol products makes skin more sensitive to the sun so it should be used with caution for those spending a lot of time out doors.

TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING RETINOL:
-Avoid the outdoors during peak hours.
-Wear a wide brimmed hat when outside.
-Reapply sunscreen every 1 to 2 hours when outside (even in cloudy or shady conditions).

-Reapply sunscreen regularly if working indoors near a window.
-Use a physical sunscreen with at least 9% zinc oxide - preferably 18 percent.
-Never apply to inflamed acne or inflamed skin (this includes sun burned skin).

WHAT IS EXFOLIATION...

When treating acne in Butte County, you can expect your skin to be dry and flaky. Clearing acne typically requires mass exfoliation. So, regardless of the type of acne treatment, if it's effective - you're going to have to exfoliate.

An exfoliator removes dead surface cells from the skin. Most people tend to think of an exfoliator as a scrub. While this is true, there are many types of exfoliators and exfoliating techniques. Enzymes, scrubs, crystals and chemical peels, are types of exfoliators. Ultrasonic cleansing, microdermabrasion, microplaning, certain lights and lasers are devices designed to exfoliate. Cleansers, toners, serums and moisturizers can be considered exfoliators if they are formulated with exfoliating ingredients such as hydroxy acids. Even shaving removes dead skin!

Clearing your complexion relies heavily on using the correct type, concentration and combination of exfoliators. How do you figure it out? Seek the help of an Acne Specialist!

IF YOU MUST PICK THE ZIT...

ACNE EXTRACTIONS IN CHICO at
916SKIN ACNE CLINIC.

If you can't stop yourself from picking at your zits, use Q-tips, or at the very least, wrap your fingers in tissue.

No matter how well you wash your hands, the bacteria that live under your fingernails aren't going anywhere. Picking at your skin, not only has the potential to cause acne scars, but can lead to inflamed pimples. Picking at pimples, even with gentle pressure, can create micro tears in the skin where bacteria find there way into the pore. Once they're in, and the conditions are right, inflammation ensues, which can lead to acne scarring and dark marks on the skin.

Going to an acne specialist ensures your impactions, pimples, zits, blackheads, whiteheads are extracted properly without causing further damage to the tissue.

DO RETINOIDS GET RID OF PIMPLES...

NO TO ACNE MEDICATION CHICO   

Tazorac by Allergan is the brand name for tazarotene, an acne medication commonly prescribed by dermatologists in the treatment of acne. It is a topical form of vitamin A, also know as a retinoid, available in 0.05 or 0.1 percent as a cream or gel.

Retinoids increase the growth of skin cells, and can be beneficial in acne products as well as anti-aging products due to their ability to cause shedding of the skin.

Prescription retinoids are irritating to the skin, and often set acne patients back, partly due to their ability to irritate and over-dry the skin. While some retinoids can be helpful in clearing pimples,  it alone will not clear your acne. The most effective skin treatment is a combination of active ingredients specifically selected for your skin type and grade of your acne.

916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT REVIEW...

"I am so thankful for 916SKIN Acne Clinic in Chico. Acne runs in my family, so I started going to Tatja in August of 2015 after I heard rave acne reviews from my sister. Tatja chooses the best products for your acne type and skin type, which works wonders. I started seeing amazing results after about 2 months. It's crazy to see how bad my acne was before, and how it is basically non-existent now. Going to 916SKIN has given me a huge boost in confidence, to the point where I haven't worn makeup since Halloween 2015! I used to not even leave the house without putting on makeup because I was so embarrassed about my skin. I tried a variety of different acne remedies, and none of them worked. I am so glad that I started seeing Tatja when I did. It has made me an all around happier person. Thank you so much, Tatja!"

SUGAR SCRUB FOR ACNE...

Sugar is for COOKIES not for ACNE in Chico, Ca!!!

Sugar scrubs are way too abrasive for the skin. There are much better options for clearing up your acne. Even professional scrubs are often too harsh. If your Acne Specialist says you are a good candidate for a scrub, choose the one they recommend.

Scrubs don't benefit everyone with acne, and often times, cause more setbacks than progress. An Acne Specialist will evaluate your acne and recommend products that are specifically suited for your specific skin type and breakout type.
