COTTON ROUNDS VS. COTTON BALLS...

SHOP ACNE PRODUCTS CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC 

When using cotton balls to apply skin care product, most of it gets wasted as it is absorbed into the depths of the cotton ball's thick webbing. Before you know it - your out of toner!

Why use cotton balls when you can use cotton rounds?  Cotton rounds are often used for applying toner or removing eye makeup. These thin, compact, tightly woven cotton pads allow for easy glide onto the skin and help save product!

THE EMOTIONAL SCARS OF ACNE...

TOP ACNE SKIN CARE TREATMENT IN CHICO       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

People who have suffered from acne develop certain mannerisms as a result of their skin condition. Typically, it is avoidance and isolation. Positioning themselves in the classroom or at the dinner table, in a way that hides the worst side of their face. Choosing home delivery over going out to dinner. Not applying for a desired job.  Not asking their crush out on a date. Calling in sick to work or skipping classes, often to the point of failing.

TAKEN FROM AN ACNE FORUM:
"I've been fighting cystic acne for over 10 years. My skin looks so gross and disgusting today that I can't even get myself out the door to get food or go to my classes. There's nothing to eat in the refrigerator and I am so hungry, but the thought of going through the drive-thru is mortifying. I've been battling this for over a decade and it's exhausting."

IN SOME CASES, EVEN AFTER THE SKIN HAS CLEARED AND THE COMPLEXION LOOKS SMOOTH AND RADIANT, THERE ARE EMOTIONAL SCARS LEFTOVER FROM ACNE THAT NEED TO BE HEALED. POST-TREATMENT COUNSELING HAS HELPED MANY OF OUR PATIENTS BLOSSOM INTO THE CONFIDENT BEINGS THEY WERE DESTINED TO BE.  (530) 680.2027

CAN SWEAT CAUSE ACNE...

TREAT BREAKOUTS IN CHICO  916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

To help control breakouts - keep skin clean. Although, sweat does not cause pimples, the bacteria trapped beneath the sweat and oil can act as an acne aggravator. Cleansing your face after working out or sweating is a good skin care habit to develop. Sweating helps the body rid itself of toxins, which helps promote a clear complexion. Cleansing after a sweat, rinses away the toxins that would otherwise get reabsorbed back into the body. So, by all means, sweat!


916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC DOES MORE THAN JUST TREAT ACNE. WE EDUCATE OUR PATIENTS ON GOOD SKIN CARE PRACTICES TO HELP THEM GET CLEAR AND STAY CLEAR. (530) 680.2027

DOES BENZOYL PEROXIDE GET RID OF ACNE...

 READ ABOUT OUR PATIENTS' SUCCESS WITH THE ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM 

Professional benzoyl peroxide in Chico is one of the staples in the 916 Acne Treatment Program.  Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is highly effective when used correctly. BPO can be an acne sufferers best friend or their worst enemy depending on how it is administered. Not all BPOs are equal, and its effectiveness depends on many factors including concentration, frequency, application, comedogenicity, pH, and its use as part of an entire system.

BEST MAKEUP FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN...

ACNE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Acne products are designed to exfoliate, making the skin more susceptible to sun damage. Consistent application and reapplication of sunscreen is definitely a must if you are using acne products.  Here's the thing, some people refuse to apply sunscreen over their makeup. One would think that the fear of  premature aging and skin cancer, would cause them to reconsider, but this is not the case.

If you fit this description, you need mineral makeups - plural. People with acne typically prefer mineral-based powders and foundations. Liquid minerals tend to provide better coverage than mineral powders, but powders are easy to dust on throughout the day providing added UV protection. Layering your mineral makeup in this way does not provide adequate protection from UV rays, but it is better than the alternative, which is - nothing.

We have found that our patients prefer a mineral makeup that covers blemishes, acne scars and dark spots. Some prefer liquid minerals, while others prefer pressed mineral powders for their initial layer. Loose mineral powders are popular as an added form of UV protection, and are dusted on regularly throughout the day.

ACNE DIET: DOES PALEO HELP ACNE...

INDIVIDUALIZED ACNE PROGRAM CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

The Paleo Diet is sweeping across America, and rooting into the lifestyles of the health conscious. But, is The Paleo Diet a worthy contender for acne sufferers?  For most, this depends on their blood type.


Biochemistry plays a critical role in health and disease. Learning which foods your body metabolizes effectively influences your health and your skin. Foods that are not beneficial for your individual biochemistry can create toxic over load and compromise those systems. Those with a genetic predisposition to acne, are more likely to suffer breakouts when their body is not functioning at optimal levels.

Those who thrive on The Paleo Diet, are those who have higher levels of stomach acid and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP). IAP is an enzyme that facilitates the breakdown of cholesterol. Both blood types O and B (especially blood type O) have the digestive attributes to thrive on a Paleo Diet.

AT 916SKIN- ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON CREATING TREATMENT PLANS THAT ARE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. WE PROVIDE  BOTH TOPICAL AND NUTRITIONAL OPTIONS FOR CLEARING ACNE. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ACNE PROGRAM. (530) 680.2027

POST-PEEL SUN PROTECTION...

CHEMICAL PEEL TREATMENTS CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLNIC

There are varying degrees of chemical peels. Also referred to as skin peels, these exfoliation based treatments provide a plethora of benefits to acne sufferers as well as the anti-aging crowd.

DO ALL PEELS HAVE ANTI-AGING BENEFITS? Absolutely! But... here's the catch.
Peeling, flaking, and shedding your skin doesn't just mean a clearer younger looking complexion. It also means more vulnerable skin. More vulnerable to sun damage, which can result in premature aging.

Regardless of the time of year, it's important to protect your skin, especially following a professional peel.


WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT MY SKIN?
Wear a sunscreen everyday and get into the habit of reapplying it several times throughout the day. Protection also means limiting your sun exposure and avoiding the sun during peak hours. Do your outdoor activities before 10am or after 4pm. Wear hats and seek shade whenever possible. Protecting your skin in this way will help prevent premature aging and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

916SKIN PROVIDES A VARIETY OF ACNE TREATMENT OPTIONS. AN ACNE SPECIALIST WILL EVALUATE YOUR SKIN AND DETERMINE WHICH COURSE TREATMENT WILL HELP YOU GET CLEAR. (530) 680.2027

916SKIN DOES NOT USE PRESCRIPTION ACNE MEDICATIONS TO TREAT ACNE.

HYPERPIGMENTATION AND FOLIC ACID...

SKIN TREATMENTS FOR ACNE CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Dark patches on the skin can be the result of a folate deficiency. Dark patches can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appear on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Once folate levels have been restored, the dark patches typically disappear in several weeks to several months.

Folate, less commonly known as vitamin B9, is a water soluble vitamin that naturally occurs in food as tetrahydrofolate. The term folic acid refers to the synthetic compound found in many fortified foods and nutritional supplements. Some individuals are unable to metabolize folic acid, which may result in a folate deficiency. To prevent potential deficiencies, it is important to eat foods rich in folate, or use supplementation that is derived from tetrahydrofolate.

ACNE & THE INFLAMMATION RESPONSE...

INFLAMMATORY ACNE TREATMENT CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Inflammation starts out as a helpful companion to the immune system's defense tactics, fighting bacteria that spill into the dermis when follicle walls rupture beneath the surface of pimples. Our toxic-laden environment, and processed junk foods have spun this natural protection into a hyperactive frenzy. When inflammation goes into overdrive it can damage healthy tissue and lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation.

This inflammation can be quenched by reevaluating your lifestyle and nutrition habits. Icing inflamed acne lesions twice a day for 2 to 3 minutes will reduce inflammation and help prevent further damage to the tissue. An anti-inflammatory diet including an abundance of fruits and vegetables, as well as nutritional supplements will give your body the tools it needs to help fight inflammation.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS THAT HELP CONTROL INFLAMMATION:
zinc monomethionine
magnesium
selenium
chromium
vitamin C
vitamin E (mixed tocopherols)
co-Q 10
alpha-lipoic acid
quercetin
bromelain
fish oil
evening primrose oil
tumeric
ginger
garlic
berry complexes
resveratrol
green tea

ACNE & THE ROLL OF MAGNESIUM...

ACNE CARE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

A diet full of processed foods, synthetic additives, high sugar, alcohol and sodas is not only a waste of calories, but a waste of magnesium. According to Natasha Campbell-McBride, the author of the Gut & Psychology Syndrome, twenty-eight molecules of magnesium are required to metabolize one glucose molecule.

The role of magnesium is important to everyone, but in the acne-prone individual, extra care should be taken in regards to sugar, as it drives stress hormones and influences acne breakouts. Avoiding refined sugar in the United States of Processed Foods can be quite the undertaking. Ensuring that you get enough magnesium in your diet supports your body's  ability to metabolize and regulate blood sugar properly

Certain people are at high risk of magnesium deficiency due a host of underlying factors that affect the body's ability to absorb magnesium. Alcoholism, digestive disorders, renal disorders, and those with a poor diet are susceptible to magnesium deficiency.

Certain food compounds bind to magnesium making it insoluble and unusable by the body. Carbonated beverages and processed meats such as lunch meats, rotisserie chickens, bacon and sausages contain phosphates, which make magnesium unavailable to the body.

CLEARING ACNE RELIES HEAVILY ON A NUTRIENT DENSE DIET. TOPICAL ACNE PRODUCTS MAY CLEAR YOUR SKIN ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT HEALTHY EATING HABITS WILL HELP CLEAR CLEAR YOUR SKIN FROM THE INSIDE. ACNE PROGRAM DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE AT OUR WEBSITE OR BY SCHEDULING AN ACNE CONSULTATION.  (530) 680.2027

WATERPROOF SUNSCREEN - REALLY?

ACNE TREATMENTS CHICO - VIEW TESTIMONIALS BY VISITING OUR ACNE CARE WEBSITE. 

916SKIN in Chico wishes you a safe & fun 4th of July holiday! Don't forget your hat & sunscreen!

Just a heads up for the weekend... there is no such thing as waterproof sunscreen. New FDA regulations prevent the use of such terminology on new sunscreen packaging. Protect your skin by reapplying sunscreen each time you get out of the water. Even if you don't go in the water, it's important to reapply every hour. Remember, a tan lasts a couple of weeks. Wrinkles last a life time. And with skin cancer, you may not have a life time.
