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.

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.


916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC CARRIES AN ENTIRE LINE OF ACNE SKINCARE PRODUCTS INCLUDING A SELECTION OF SUNSCREENS SPECIFICALLY FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN. SUNSCREENS FORMULATED FOR ACNE ARE LIGHT WEIGHT & OIL-FREE.
