CLEAR BOWELS = CLEAR SKIN

ACNE TREATMENT REMEDIES IN CHICO CA  916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Magnesium can benefit acneic skin through its ability to aid in detoxification and elimination. Magnesium is important in the making of "the mother of all antioxidants," glutathione, which plays a critical role in the detoxification of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and other environmental chemicals. Supplementing with magnesium, or eating plenty of foods high in magnesium helps keep the bowels regular, and can prevent toxins from building up in tissue. The cleaner your system, the better your chances for clear skin!

CRACKING THE NUT FOR ACNE...

HELP FOR ACNE IN CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE PROGRAM

Acne is a constant battle. And to win, you need an arsenal of weapons. One such weapon, are nuts! Brazil, almonds, walnuts, pecans and macadamia nuts are loaded with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, fiber and essential fatty acids to repair the skin and help keep acne in check.  

Acne is associated, in part, with a lipid deficiency of the skin. Not having enough essential fatty acids "good fats" to build healthy cell membranes can lead to a host of skin conditions including acne. Eating plenty of raw nuts or dry roasted nuts on a daily basis provides your skin with many of the nutrients it needs for healthy skin.

Brazil nuts improve skin elasticity with selenium. Walnuts and pecans have anti-inflammatory properties and provide the skin with omega-3s (alpha-linolenic acid) to help control inflamed acne. Macadamia nuts are loaded with B-complex vitamins to help manage stress and quality oils that aid in skin rejuvenation.

MY IN-LAWS ARE MAKING ME BREAKOUT...

ALTERNATIVE ACNE TREATMENT IN CHICO

The other day, a patient said to me "I swear my in-laws are making my skin breakout!" 

That may sound ridiculous, but there is some truth to that statement - depending on your in-laws, of course. Those who are prone to acne are more likely to respond to stress triggers. Certain acne sufferers are more responsive to food triggers, while others are more responsive to emotional triggers, and so on.  Generally, it may take up to 3 months for a pimple to form, but when it comes to stress, that pimple can show up over night.

"Stress" means different things to different people, but regardless of what is stressing you out, our bodies respond to stress the same way. The adrenal glands go into overdrive, and the demand for vitamin C and the vitamin Bs goes way up.  If we don't give our adrenals the proper fuel, not only will we breakout, but we will be robbed of all our energy.

To help manage stress take vitamin C with bioflavonoids and a high potency B complex vitamin. Keep your adrenal glands happy and your skin will thank you!

BEST CARB CHOICES FOR ACNE...

ACNE TREATMENT REMEDIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM

Remember, stress causes acne. This includes poor diet or foods that weaken the immune system; particularly  sugar. Cereals, breads, bagels, muffins, pastries, white rice, certain pastas and noodles can cause a rapid spike in blood sugar. These spikes can trigger breakouts in certain acne-prone individuals. Eating carbs that break down slower in the gut, raises blood sugar at a slower pace. Your body appreciates this and so does your skin!

HEALTHY CARB CHOICES FOR ACNE INCLUDE:
Steel cut oats, quinoa, brown rice, barley and sweet potatoes. A good rule of thumb is the higher the fiber content of the carb the lower the blood sugar. This doesn't imply that fibrous carbs maintain low blood sugar levels. It means that carbs with a high fiber content are more likely to to keep your blood sugar levels in check than carbs with low fiber.

ZINC DEFICIENCY IN ACNE SUFFERERS...

TREATING ACNE WITH ZINC   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

According to a study in the Journal Of The Turkish Academy Of Dermatology, people with acne showed significantly lower zinc levels than those without acne.

Zinc is an essential mineral required for the structure and function of living organisms. Zinc is found in abundance in the epidermis of the skin. Supplementing with zinc may help improve the success rate of acne treatments. A simple blood test can determine if you are low or deficient in zinc.

FOODS WITH ZINC: oysters and other shellfish; lamb, roast beef, mushrooms, peas, lentils, eggs; dark chocolate and cacao; roasted pumpkin, squash and watermelon seeds.

ICE OR HEAT TO TREAT ACNE...

BEST TREATMENT FOR ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

ICE OR HEAT TO HELP TREAT ACNE...

Whether you've got a pimple, papule or a cyst, applying ice helps to reduce pain, swelling, redness and PIH (the red or brown mark left on your skin after an inflamed acne lesion has healed). Notice the emphasis on the word "helps."  Icing also helps with product penetration. Apply ice to the inflamed lesion for about 60 seconds morning and night. Next apply an anti-bacterial. Initially, it will appear more red, but as time passes the redness will subside.

Heat. There are different types of heat. Heat from a hot compress can help draw the pimple to a head, but it also exacerbates the inflammation and increases your risk of PIH. You are better off icing and applying an anti-bacterial.  Heat devices such as laser, light and LED therapies typically use low level heat to kill acne bacteria (p. acnes). Heat therapies can be effective when done as a series and in combination with the proper daily skincare regimen.

WHO SHOULD SEE A DERMATOLOGIST FOR ACNE...

HOW TO TREAT ACNE    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Whether you have mild acne, severe acne or even cystic acne, THERE IS an an acne treatment program that works. This is a difficult pill to swallow for so many acne sufferers out there that have tried EVERYTHING...  well, almost everything, and are still plagued with acne.

The 916 Acne Treatment Program is highly successful for those who are patient and committed. It requires bimonthly treatment, as well as a skincare regimen, which requires several steps every morning and every evening without fail. If you stick to the program - you WILL get clear - it's that simple.

If you are the type of person that cannot stick to a routine, then see a practitioner to figure out what is the root problem of your skin condition. Is your acne triggered by toxic overload, a digestive disorder, food or chemical sensitivities, food intolerances, inability to manage stress, or other hormone related conditions that result in imbalances? Determining the root cause allows you to begin treating your acne from the inside.

Then, there are those people who just don't care about getting to the root of the problem. This is my husband! And he would say "JUST GIVE ME A PILL!" So, if you fit this description - you are the type of person who might benefit from a dermatologist's care.

WHY NOT WORK OUT AFTER A CHEMICAL PEEL?

THERAPEUTIC ACNE TREATMENT CHICO CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Even a light chemical peel can cause the upper layer of skin (stratum corneum) to separate from its deeper layer. This is normal. It is the nature of a chemical peel. However, working out to the point of sweating can cause water to accumulate in that separated space, which can lead to blistering and potential hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration).




Another factor that can lead to hyperpigmentation is body heat especially for those who are prone to hyperpigmentation or suffer from melasma (a type of skin discoloration) . Regulating your body temperature for 48 hours following a professional peel will help maximize your results!
