SLEEPING MASK CAUSING BREAKOUTS...

A good night's sleep can go a long way with those prone to breakouts in Chico. Making your bedroom dark with blackout curtains can be a big help. If you're one of those people who are really sensitive to light, use a sleeping mask. 

Thing is, even with a freshly cleaned face, your mask can collect oil and bacteria. To help keep pimples at bay, make sure to wash it at least twice week.

SLEEP & CLEAR SKIN HYGIENE...

The majority of cellular repair takes place in your sleep including the repair of pimples and acne scars in Chico

While you're sleeping, the body renews cells that have been damaged by UV & environmental pollutants. Oxygen & nutrients flow more readily to the skin, and toxins are swept away by vessels that become more dilated during sleep, so you awake to a clearer, brighter complexion. Your REM cycle, known as your deepest stage of sleep, is when antioxidants get recycled so you have more free-radical-fighting-power when you wake. 

Clear skin requires an accumulative approach. Eat healthy, practice clear skin hygiene, and aim for 8 to 9 hours of sleep per night.

ACNE FACIAL MAPPING...

Mapping facial acne serves as a guide to what internal issues may be causing your acne, but is usually not a reliable source for determining the underlying cause of facial breakouts in Chico.


Acne is triggered by numerous factors so uncovering the root of the problem is best accomplished by taking inventory of the individual's diet, lifestyle & skin care regimen. Once your acne specialist has a larger picture of you and your skin, she can begin to piece together what you can do to make powerful changes to your skin.

GRAPE SEED OIL FOR ACNE...

Any effective acne treatment in Chico will cause the skin to exfoliate. Exfoliation, also known as, cell-turn-over, flaking, peeling or shedding, is necessary in the process of clearing pimples and blackheads. However, this shedding process removes many of the protective layers and makes one more susceptible to sun damage and skin cancer.

In addition to sunscreen, there are a plethora of anti-oxidants that also help protect the skin. Proanthocyanidin, an anti-oxidant found in grape seed oil (GSP), inhibits cellular DNA mutations, especially those brought on by exposure to the sun's UV rays.

Either in your diet or on your skin, quality grape seed oil gives the skin an extra boost of protection. Regardless of how much anti-oxidant protection you've got, ALWAYS wear your sunscreen.


916SKIN, THE ACNE CLINIC OF CHICO, WILL HELP GET RID OF YOUR ACNE IN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS.

THE NEED FOR VITAMIN C...

Our intense sun and high UV index, means acne facials in Chico, can put you at risk of sun damage. 


Taking precautions against UV exposure will save your skin and help prevent acne scarring

In addition to a broad spectrum sunscreen, vitamin C is a must have for protecting your skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm acne. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production to speed the healing of pimples and acne scars. It also helps prevent DNA damage and dark marks by inhibiting melanocyte production.

BEST SOURCES OF VITAMIN C:
Broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, kiwi, papaya & dark leafy greens. In season fruits and vegetables have higher vitamin C content. Vitamin C is more potent when taken with vitamin E - nuts & seeds are a good source.

VITAMIN C TOPICAL: 
Speak with your acne specialist about which vitamin C product is best for your acne.

WHAT ARE ACNE EXTRACTIONS...

In simple terms, acne facial extractions in Chico,  "get the gunk out of pimples, blackheads or whiteheads." 

Blackheads and whiteheads, also known as comedones, are filled with dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil... the "gunk."  The oil of the acne-prone, may be thick or sticky and get stuck inside the pore. The "gunk" often forms a hardened seed-like structure, which also gets impacted (stuck) inside the pore.

Pimples are filled with the same substance, but have an ecosystem of bacteria proliferating inside the pore. As the bacteria grow, the pimple becomes more inflamed, bigger, often deeper, and more prone to damaging tissue and leaving a scar.

The process of clearing acne, requires these impactions to be removed or "extracted" professionally. Professional extractions will not damage or scar your skin, as is often seen with those picking and carving up their skin at home. We are often told, "don't pick." This is true. Don't pick. Instead, save your skin and see a specialist for acne facial extractions.
