ALPHA OR BETA FOR MY BREAKOUTS...

Hydroxy acids are just that... acids that work to shed, smooth, 
firm & brighten 
acne skin in Chico, CA. 


These gentle acids are derived from food sources and are categorized as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).  

The primary AHAs used in acne skin care are: glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid & mandelic acid. Salicylic acid is a BHA found in the majority of over-the-counter acne products. Although these gentle acids have a similar overall function, each is suited for a specific skin & acne type. This is why glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, works wonders for some acne sufferers, but irritates or does nothing for others. It also explains why customization of your acne products is so important.

SLEEPING IN YOUR MAKEUP...

If you use makeup approved by an acne specialist in Chico, Ca., then sleeping in your makeup will not clog your pores. The main concern with not removing your makeup, is that you lose an opportunity to apply your evening actives, which, when applied consistently, controls breakouts. 

"Actives" are the acne products in Chico, whose ingredients target and destroy bacteria along with annihilating & dumping dead skin cells. Skipping your actives will cause your skin to back track. You may not notice it right away, but it WILL happen. 

TO FIND OUT WHICH ACTIVES ARE BEST FOR YOUR ACNE TYPE, SEE AN ACNE SPECIALIST.
