MY IN-LAWS ARE MAKING ME BREAKOUT...

ALTERNATIVE ACNE TREATMENT IN CHICO
The other day, a patient said to me "I swear my in-laws are making my skin breakout!" 

That may sound ridiculous, but there is some truth to that statement - depending on your in-laws, of course. Those who are prone to acne are more likely to respond to stress triggers. Certain acne sufferers are more responsive to food triggers, while others are more responsive to emotional triggers, and so on.  Generally, it may take up to 3 months for a pimple to form, but when it comes to stress, that pimple can show up over night.

"Stress" means different things to different people, but regardless of what is stressing you out, our bodies respond to stress the same way. The adrenal glands go into overdrive, and the demand for vitamin C and the vitamin Bs goes way up.  If we don't give our adrenals the proper fuel, not only will we breakout, but we will be robbed of all our energy.

To help manage stress take vitamin C with bioflavonoids and a high potency B complex vitamin. Keep your adrenal glands happy and your skin will thank you!
