Keeping the bowels open helps keep acne breakouts under control. You should have at least one full bowel movement every day. Anything less is constipation. Poor elimination causes the body to become toxic. In an effort to eliminate toxins, the body will use the skin to get rid of wastes. This can manifest as inflamed pimples. Treatment requires diet modification, skin care products and chemical peels for acne.
Starting your morning with 12 ounces of warm lemon water mixed with a teaspoon of psyllium husk will help keep the bowels moving. However, this should NEVER be done when you're constipated as it will likely make you more congested.

Clearing acne in Chico relies on much needed vitamins & minerals to support the biochemical reactions of skin repair. Caffeine is a diuretic, which flushes these nutrients from the body. Depleted vitamins & minerals along with blood sugar spikes & over worked adrenals associated with caffeine, make coffee, tea & too much chocolate a whopping acne trigger.
Support your skin's repair mechanisms by eating a whole foods diet and avoiding caffeine.

Picking can lead to indentation acne scarring in Chico.
An incorrect approach to picking a pimple can cause a reverse rupture where bacteria is dumped into the dermis causing acne scarring.
Professional extractions from an acne specialist will not scar your skin. Preexisting infected acne pimples can damage and destroy the surrounding tissue, and once healed, will leave an indentation in the skin. If these types of lesions are present, it's important to have them drained to speed the healing process, but realize, the scar left behind is caused by the preexisting infection, not the extraction.
IF YOU NEED TREATMENT FOR ACNE, 916SKIN - ACNE SCAR TREATMENT PROGRAM CAN HELP. 530.680.2027
The first step in healing acne in Chico, Ca. is putting out the fire on your face. Even if you have mild inflamed acne, calming the redness in your breakouts needs to happen first.
If you have inflamed pimples, avoid scrubbing agents, microdermabrasion, exfoliating brushes and the like. These will only further exacerbate your condition. The very best thing you can do for your skin is ICE and, as always, eat an anti-inflammatory diet.

You've spent the last 3 days having pie for breakfast, lunch & dinner - there will surely be a big breakout in your future. Time to get back on track and heal your acne in Chico.
Steamed veggies, big mixed green salads, juicing raw veggies & a multi-mineral supplement will all help restore the minerals that have been depleted with pie overload. Over eating, in general, creates a high glycemic load for the body. This translates into too much sugar and also depletes minerals and causes inflammatory conditions like acne.
OUR ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE TO ALL ACNE TYPES. SKIN CONSULTATIONS: 530.680.2027
You're intent on stuffing yourself though the entire weekend despite the repercussions of monster breakouts in Chico. Yes, over eating causes breakouts because you likely aren't producing enough digestive enzymes to handle the load, your liver can't keep up with the demands and your body becomes toxic & lethargic.
Taking a broad spectrum digestive enzyme with your meals will help facilitate the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. While a high potency multi-vitamin & mineral will support the body's biochemical processes & liver detoxification pathways.
TO GET STARTED IN OUR ACNE PROGRAM & TO FIND OUT WHAT DIGESTIVE ENZYMES ARE RIGHT FOR YOU,

After an acne facial in Chico, you can expect your skin to be a little blotchy from extractions, which subsides in 2 to 3 hours.

ACNE PROGRAM CONSULT: 530.680.2027
Fiber helps
control breakouts in Chico
in two ways.
#1) Fiber makes you poop. Lack of fiber causes constipation and a build up of inflammatory toxins, which leads to inflammatory breakouts. You can poop every day and still be constipated. If you have to strain or it's clumpy - you're constipated.
#2) Fiber helps control blood sugar. Lack of fiber causes blood sugar to skyrocket, which also leads to inflammatory breakouts.
Fiber is found in plants and their cell cells. That's one of the reasons it's important to eat the peels of fruits and vegetables. An apple has twice as much fiber as an apple that has been peeled!
Healing acne is a matter of how many steps you're willing to take. Taking one step, like eating more fiber, may not get you clear; but the more steps you take, the better your chances of getting clear.

Sugar causes systemic inflammation & inflammatory conditions such as inflamed acne. Sugar depletes your minerals, rendering your vitamins useless and bringing you closer to degenerative disease. Refined sugar does not have one health-boosting quality. It is poison to our metabolic system. Yet, on average, Americans consume 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. One 12oz soda contains approximately 39 teaspoons of sugar.

Does chocolate cause acne?
Trick question!
Chocolate does not cause acne. I'm referring to the cacao, itself. However, the caffeine within the cacao as well as all the added SUGAR and dairy - are all major triggers for breakouts.
If you have to have it, go for the dark stuff. The darker the better. 80 percent. Buy the individually wrapped chocolates from the health food store so you don't scarf down the whole thing!

Chocolate cravings are an indicator of Magnesium deficiency. The body requires more Magnesium before and during a period.

If you have to have chocolate, choose 80% dark, raw chocolate.

Chocolate and acne go hand in hand. If you're like me, buying a chocolate bar with the intention of having a little piece, rarely works.
If you're fighting acne in Chico, Ca. and absolutely, unmistakably must have chocolate, allow yourself one, individually wrapped, dark chocolate treat, and then, walk away. That means leave the store, get in your car and drive away with your single piece of chocolate. Savor its presence in your mouth. Appreciate the creamy, smooth texture. Be grateful for that one piece. Then, tell yourself, "I'm satisfied" - whether you are or not.
ACNE CONSULTS WITH A SPECIALIST: 530.680.2027
Constipation is a major contributor to breakouts, particularly inflamed pimples. It's your body's job to eliminate toxins, and if you're constipated, your body will begin eliminating toxins through the skin. This can present itself as body odor or acne issues in Chico.
Healthy bowels eliminate 2 full bowel movements daily or at least 1 complete bowel movement per day. Even if you are eliminating daily, strained, painful, hard or clumping bowel movements are indicators of constipation.

CONSULTS & PROGRAM INFO: 530.680.2027
Gluten can be the acne-causing culprit for many of those who are prone to breakouts in Chico, Ca. Often times, gluten sensitivity goes unnoticed because the body's response is a delayed reaction - taking 2 to 4 days to manifest symptoms, and there is such variety in those symptoms, most people don't make the connection.
If you're not on an effective acne-care system, eliminating gluten, alone, will not get you clear. Acne must be tackled from every angle. Eliminating gluten is a good first step and it doesn't necessarily mean you have to cut out the good stuff like pizza. There are plenty of GF
options these days, which makes the GF
lifestyle a lot easier than it would have been even 5 years ago.
Here are my top 5 picks for affordable GF options in Chico:
CRUSH - delicious GF pizza
CRUSH: GF vegan pizza - surprisingly scrumptious
PLUTO'S: huge salads with home cooked meats & mashers
NOODLE HOUSE: pho (rice noodles, veggies, meat/tofu)
GEN KAI: poke salad made with GF tamari instead of soy sauce
BANSHEE: grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas (no batter)
