Part of controlling acne in Chico, Ca., is making sure you've got plenty of minerals and fat soluble vitamins on board.
Salad greens have lots of minerals, but in order for them to be absorbed, you'll need something acidic to eat with your salad like a squeeze of lemon, splash of vinegar or a few wedges of a tangerine.
Greens also contain the fat soluble vitamins beta-carotene and vitamin K, which are much better absorbed when eaten with fat. So, load up your salad with avocado, raw nuts & seeds or make your own olive oil dressing. Without fat & something acidic, these nutrients won't be able to perform their metabolic function in helping to heal your acne.

1. Avoid all sugar including sweeteners (honey, agave, maple syrup, high fructose corn syrup, etc.)
2. Avoid fast, processed and or junk foods
3. Avoid refined carbohydrates (bread, muffins, pastries, pizza, chips, tortillas, white rice, pasta, etc.)
4. Avoid food made with flour
5. Avoid food made with starches (potato, corn, rice & tapioca starch)
6. DO EAT nutrient dense, whole foods (grown out of the ground, off of a tree or from an animal)
Rock this diet & your skin will rock, too!

How does sleep help heal acne in Chico, Ca?
1. Sleep reduced stress - a major acne trigger.
2. Consistent sleep reduces inflammation. This means
it also reduces inflammatory acne. Think big red pimples.
3. Sleep is when your body does the majority of healing & repairing. Your skin cells produce more protein when you sleep, one of the building blocks for repairing acne, scarring & skin damage. So... when combined with treatments & a homecare system, more sleep = faster healing acne!

Maintaining the integrity of your acid mantle can help prevent breakouts in Chico, Ca.
Your acid mantle is a mixture of substances secreted onto the surface of your skin that acts as a seal or waterproofing agent. The acidic nature of the acid mantle is what gives your skin it's pH (4.5ish to 5.5ish).
This skin "sealant" helps keep cells tight and flat sort of like shingles that protect your roof from the elements. This makes it more challenging for acne bacteria, other microbes and environmental pollutants to penetrate your skin. Using the wrong skin care products, even just the wrong cleanser, can compromise your acid mantle. When this happens, the skin can become overly dry, red and/or irritated... and with that comes more breakouts.

Yes, the type of cleanser you choose can make or break your acne in Chico. Commercial cleansers are typically alkaline and have a pH of 8 to 11. Way too high. That tight, dry, squeaky feeling you get after cleansing your skin is telling you something... your using the wrong cleanser.
Alkaline cleansers strip away your acid mantle, leaving you susceptible to dry, irritated, damaged skin. And with that, comes more breakouts.
Cleansers that mimic the acidic pH of the skin remove oils without stripping. They also act as mild anti-bacterials, which is especially beneficial for those with inflamed acne.
The average skin pH ranges from approximately 4.5 to 5.5. Using a cleanser within this range is essential in the acne healing process.

Here's what one of our clients has to say about the 916SKIN Acne Treatment Program in Chico.
"Until I came to 916SKIN, I had struggled with acne my whole life. My teenage acne became adult acne and then began scarring. I tried multiple dermatologists, proactive and almost every other product out there. Nothing helped. Then I started coming to 916. I can proudly say that after 4+ years of coming here, my skin continues to look better and better. LIFE CHANGING. The results were quick as well! I can remember my skin only getting clearer from my first appointment. Tatja has also given me wonderful advice on what other ways I can help my skin. She is passionate about helping people feel better, which is hard to find out there! Lifelong client here!"

TIPS:
-Use flat cotton rounds - cotton balls soak up more product.
-No need to soak the whole round - only put toner on half the round.
-You can get a big pack of these at the dollar store.

With over 40 different brands of facial wipes to choose from, which wipes are safe for acne-prone skin in Chico, Ca?
There are no regulations around comedogenicity. This is very misleading to the consumer

BUT, Yes to Cucumbers are facial wipes that ARE non-comedogenic, making them safe for acne-prone skin. They can be used to wipe off excessive oil & sweat - making sure to always reapply sunscreen, afterwards. Or, to remove your makeup. When it comes to doing your morning and evening skincare routine, wash your face the old fashioned way with cleanser & warm water.
