ACNE DERMATOLOGY IN CHICO, CA 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC
That blue blob in the photo, looks like an upside-down octopus, right? Actually, it's a cell, more formally known as a melanocyte. It has tentacle-like structures that reach up towards the skin's surface releasing tiny little packages of melanin. Melanin is a type of pigment that gives skin its color.
The more densely packed your melanin, the more protection you have from skin cancer says Board Certified Dermatologist, Arnold Oppenheim. Dermatologists also say, that regardless of how dark your skin tone, you should still wear a broad spectrum sunscreen. Most acne skincare products are formulated with ingredients that peel the skin, which makes it more vulnerable to sun damage. So, do your skin a favor, and purchase a professional sunscreen from a dermatologist, medspa or skin care practitioner.
916SKIN has a variety of light-weight, oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreens to choose from, and our acne care products are the main component of our ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM.
