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)

Looking for a natural remedy to heal acne in Chico - it doesn't exist. HOWEVER,
there are a plethora of natural anecdotes that will contribute to the healing process.
Acne is an inflammatory condition so consuming foods and drinks that alkalize the body are important steps in putting out the fire in inflamed acne. Apple cider vinegar, while an acidic substance, is alkaline-forming once metabolized. Putting a few teaspoons in water, sprinkling on brown rice, mixing into homemade salad dressings and drizzling over veggies are a few simple ways to incorporate this into your clear skin diet.
916SKIN ACNE CLINIC PROVIDES THE GUIDANCE & COACHING YOU NEED TO GET CLEAR.
INQUIRE ABOUT OUR ACNE PROGRAM: 530.680.2027
When it comes to healing breakouts in Chico, it's the small things that can make a difference. While treatments and customized acne products are a must-have, so is a healthy diet.
An acne-prone diet is one of the many things we cover in the 916SKIN Acne Program. But let's face it, we all have our moments of weakness when it comes to food. Although, an optimal diet is key to staying clear, sometimes our desires get the best of us. Down sizing your choices helps keep things metabolically and psychologically in check.
Try these suggestions when you feel a splurge coming on (try to not have more than 1 splurge every couple of weeks):
-small bag of chips vs large bag
-small ice cream vs a pint
-small can of coke vs regular
-small bag of popcorn & water vs large bag of popcorn & a coke
-1 cookie from the bakery vs an entire bag
-small latte vs large large (opt for decaf & no sweetener)
-1single wrapped piece of chocolate vs an entire candy bar

An anti-inflammatory diet can help control inflamed pimples in Chico, Ca. Inflammatory foods are typically the foods we love the most... animal protein, french fries, pasta, bread, pastries, ice cream, cheese, processed/fast/junk foods, sweets, etc. If you are prone to acne or have a genetic predisposition, inflammatory foods will be a major trigger for breakouts.
To effectively treat acne, a well rounded approach including products, treatments, lifestyle & diet are necessary. Eating an abundance of vegetables throughout the day as well as low glycemic index fruits like berries and cherries will help drive down the internal inflammation. Almonds, walnuts macadamia nuts as well as fatty, cold water fish including wild caught salmon, anchovies, sardines, white fish are also highly beneficial.
The ideal anti-inflammatory diet is 80% anti-inflammatory and 20% inflammatory (80/20), but 70/30 or 60/40 is a good first step. While 80/20 isn't always realistic for people on the go, incorporating salads, veggie snacks, raw nuts, fruit & fish (not deep fried or fish sticks ;) - will go a long way AND give you more energy!
For lunch, instead of a burrito or deli sandwich, try a BIG salad loaded with veggies, raw nuts, grilled salmon and an olive oil based dressing. Remember, protein and fat satiate. They are also critical for hormone balance & cell turn over - the process of dumping old, unhealthy cells and bringing new, fresh cells to the surface.
Healing acne in Chico, relies in part, on controlling your skin's pH. Your skin is slightly acidic with a range in pH from 5.8 to 6.2. Your skin likes it when your products are also acidic. More so, when each acne care product flows subtly from one pH to the next. Big jumps in pH, however, disrupts your skin's balance causing irritation and breakouts.
Most over-the-counter acne products veer on the side of alkaline, which not only disrupts pH, but encourages the growth of acne bacteria - one of the culprits of inflamed pimples. Using one skin care system that is tailored to your skin and acne type will help calm the irritation brought on by unstable pH and help clear your acne for good.
