ACNE & LIVER TOXICITY...

Acne-free skin in Chico relies heavily on an uncongested liver. The more chemicals we take into our body through beauty products, processed foods, medications, polluted air and treated water, the harder our liver needs to work. What the liver doesn't have time to detoxify gets stored for a later date. As toxins accumulate in our body, toxicity symptoms such as acne begin to manifest.


ACNE TIP: Drink 16 ounces lemon water every morning upon waking to help cleanse the liver. Use pure, filtered water and half an organic lemon.

ACCURACY OF ACNE FACE MAPPING...

Many of my clients ask me about acne face mapping in Chico. While I do see parallels between acne and the body's systems, there are a plethora of other factors that contribute to acne popping up in specific places.

Acne in front of the ears may be from repetitive use of a dirty cell phone. Blemishes on the forehead may result from resting your hand while you study. Acne on the cheeks may triggered by food sensitivities. The list is long.

LIP PRODUCTS CAUSING MOUTH ACNE...


Chapsticks and lip balms may clog pores along the lip line. Lip products often migrate along fine lines around the mouth, clogging pores along the way. Under the right conditions, clogged pores will turn into pimples.  Avoid periorbital acne in Chico and lip acne by making sure your lip products are completely non-comedogenic.

DOES DARK CHOCOLATE CAUSE ACNE...

Chocolate doesn't cause acne, but the sugar and caffeine in the chocolate are common acne triggers. Unalkalized dark chocolate is healthful for the skin - even for those with acne in Sacramento. The trick is limiting yourself to one square.

According to ORAC values, unalkalized (unprocessed) cocoa is one of the highest dietary sources of antioxidants. Dark chocolate, 70% or higher, will benefit your health and your skin. To reap the benefits associated with the ORAC value, look for chocolate that is raw and unalkalized. And learn to love 1 piece!

DO RETINOIDS HELP WITH ACNE SCARS...

Retinoids are one of the key products that need to be used in the treatment of acne scars. It is often challenging to get rid of scarring entirely, and depends on the type of skin, scars, and degree of the scars. Everyone responds differently to products and treatments. Acne scarring can take upwards of 2 years to heal, but with proper treatment and diligence, acne scars can be significantly improved, and eliminated completely in some individuals.

HOW RETINOIDS HELP IMPROVE ACNE SCARRING:
-Retinoids help boost your skin's collagen production and gradually fill in pitted areas.
-Retinoids resurface the skin by increasing the rate at which skin cells slough off.
-Retinoids help get rid of the dark marks and red spots left over from acne.

It is important to follow the specific protocol that your practitioner sets up for you, as using retinoids improperly can cause irritation and set backs.

LOVE MY NECK, NOT MY ACNE...


Many 916SKIN acne products are formulated for the face and back. These areas have thicker skin, produce more oil, and therefore, respond well to aggressive acnecare products.  The skin of the neck is generally much thinner, less oily, and therefore, more sensitive to aggressive products. Over time, aggressive products will age your neck! Glycolic acid may do wonders for your facial acne, but used on the neck, will add an extra 20 years.


The answer is to use products lower in concentration or specifically formulated for the neck. The right products will clear your acne and keep your neck looking young and supple.
