THE NEED FOR HYDRATION...

The more hydrated your skin, the quicker you can heal your acne in Chico.
With the right acne care components in place, your breakouts will become a distant memory. 


Skin care products tested & specifically selected for your type of acne will get your skin cleared up in about 3 to 4 months.

While our skin often feels like it clears up faster when it's dry, being too dry, can have the opposite affect. Hydration is critical for acne-free-skin. This refers to drinking plenty of water every day as well as a topical, non-comedogenic, hydrating serum chosen specifically for your acne-type. Customized skin care products & a clear skin diet will take you that extra mile!

MINION'S THOUGHT ON ACNE...

Whether you have eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or acne in Chico, our thoughts and emotions affect our physiological terrain. These skin conditions have one thing in common - they all stem from the gut. Changing your mind set may not get rid of acne, but along with a probiotic, it does help restore healthy gut terrain.

Negative emotion & a go-go-go lifestyle results in lower stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which eventually leads to dysbiosis and the development of acne in certain individuals.

ARIEL'S ACNE CLINIC REVIEW...

"I’ve had breakouts for a long time, beginning sometime in my teens. It got increasingly worse in my 20s. I have been on dermatologist prescribed meds, Pro Active, acne peels and facials regularly, while continuing to try other expensive skincare lines such as Jan Marinni, and saw multiple aestheticians. Once I moved away from home, I was tired of breaking out and was lucky to have found an excellent acne care specialist in Chico, California. Tatja does an evaluation of your diet and creates a skincare regimen customized to your skin."  Read more...

ICE AWAY YOUR ACNE...

Does icing really help
get rid of acne in Chico, Ca?

Icing works wonders to alleviate the redness associated with inflamed acne. The very first step in getting rid of acne is to put out the fire. Icing for 3 to 5 minutes every morning and every night reduces the inflammation so your acne specialist can really get to work on treating those pimples.


Immediately after icing your skin will appear more red, but that will calm down quite quickly. With daily consistency, the redness and the pain will diminish.

PRE-WORKOUT SKIN CARE ROUTINE...

"Do I need to do my

acne skin care regimen

before my morning workout?" This is a

common question at our

acne clinic in Chico, Ca. 

Toxins are released through sweat. The active ingredients in your acne products can react with these toxins, drive them back into the pore causing irritation.

It's best to do your skin care routine after your morning workout. By doing so, not only are you preventing possible irritation, but the extra oil, sweat and bacteria won't have a chance to hang out on your skin all day. 

Pre-workout skin care routine: cleanse & sunscreen (even if you're working out inside). Post-workout skin care routine: full routine prescribed by your acne specialist.

DO I REALLY NEED SUNGLASSES...

Sunscreen isn't the only must-have to help prevent acne scarring in Chico. I read an article that said doctors are seeing a rise in cancer on the inner eyelids.

Sun is important for our overall health & vitality. The eyes, just like the skin, need to receive a certain amount of daily, unfiltered sunlight. It's equally important to get this light when the UV index is low. Typically, the UV index is at its lowest early in the morning or right before sunset. The rest of the day, make sure to wear your sunglasses. And remember, UVA rays can target you in the shade, in your car and even on a cloudy day.

I use weather.com to check the UV index throughout the day.

ACNE FACIAL REDNESS...

Will my skin be red and blotchy after an acne facial in Chico?

This is a popular question among our first time acne clients. The treatment should never leave you with a red face. A little pink, yes. Blotchy, most likely. The blotchiness can occur after extractions, but is short lived. Extracting pimples, blackheads and whiteheads removes the "gunk" that is trapped in the pores. Although it's not a joyous process for the recipient, it's an essential step in clearing & preventing breakouts.

After the acne treatment, you can apply non-comedogenic foundation, if necessary, but other than a moisturizer and broad spectrum spf, it's best to put nothing on your skin for the remainder of the day. By the next day, you'll be back to your daily skin care regimen!

EAT YOUR GREEN BEANS...

Even broad spectrum sunscreen won't protect you from acne scarring in Chico, 100%. It's essential that your diet is abundant in chemoprotective agents that also aid in protecting your acne from damaging UV rays. 

ALLANTOIN, found in french beans, peas, beets and wheat products, are one such chemoprotectant, that helps protect molecules from photodamage. Absorbing lipids, peptide bonds that hold proteins together and nucleotides that form the backbone of DNA, are all vulnerable to UV radiation. Incorporating allantoin in your diet is just 1 of 100 actions you can take to protect your skin from aging, acne scarring and skin cancer. 

And, never leave the house without your sunscreen!
