CAN VITAMINS HELP WITH ACNE...

BEST SUPPLEMENTS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Breakouts caused by stress often result when our body doesn't get the vitamins it needs to support our daily stress. Now days, we undergo stress all day, every day. When something big happens, like a midterm, a breakup or a financial crisis - our adrenals, which are the glands that help us manage stress, are already working over time. The affects of one of these "big events" may be seen as an eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or acne flare-up, an illness, an infection or extreme fatigue.

Taking adequate vitamin C and a high potency, stress B-complex helps support the adrenal glands and helps control acne. Foods rich in B vitamins are brown rice and brewers yeast. Foods high in vitamin C are tomatoes, peppers and papayas.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE SHOTS...

BEST FACIAL FOR ACNE GRASS VALLEY, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

It's easy to point the finger. Often times, what we think caused our most recent breakout, may not be the culprit at all. Studying for exams, over dosing on cake and ice cream or too many shots Friday night - are all worthy candidates for an acne flare-up. 

Truth is, it can be challenging to pin down the exact cause of your flare-up. Aside from breakouts caused by stress, which seem to pop up overnight, the basic pimple can take up to 90 days to form. This means something that happened 3 months ago is likely the trigger of your most recent breakout.

IS SOY BENEFICIAL FOR ACNE...

Acne clients in Chico want to know.. do soy-based skin care products affect acne? 

Soy is loaded with isoflavones. These flavonoids stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis perk! They also inhibit an enzyme responsible for making melanin, which helps brighten the complexion - another perk!

However, if you have melasma, soy's isoflavones can have the opposite effect. While hyperpigmentation is often the result a inflammation or UV exposure, melasma is typically hormone-related and commonly referred to as the "pregnancy mask.". 

The flavonoids in soy have an estrogenic effect. In fact, soy has the highest concentration of phytoestrogen-based isoflavones than any other plant. In skin care products, these isoflavones are isolated and even more concentrated, which has little effect on acne, but can exacerbate melasma.

WILL ACNE PEELS MAKE MY FACE RED...

At 916SKIN Acne Clinic in Chico, an acne peel WILL NOT leave your skin red!

Our goal is to eliminate inflammation NOT exacerbate it. Sensitivity testing, medical history, and lifestyle, are all factors that help your acne skincare specialist determine which chemical peel is best for your skin. In my experience, reactions to chemical peels are rare. With hundreds of formulations available, there are plenty of professional peels that leave the skin in a healthy state with no redness, no down-time, and great results.

Unfortunately, Samantha from the HBO show Sex & The City, freaked people out when her face got fried from a chemical peel. Although, there are peels that leave the skin red, an experienced acne practitioner will know which peel is best for the results your want to achieve.
