DOES PICKING CAUSE ACNE SCARS...

The solution for acne scars in Chico, Ca... don't pick and see your acne specialist for scar treatment.

Picking can cause inverse ruptures where the the bacteria spills down into the, "should be sterile dermis" causing an immune response and disruption of the collagen and elastin matrix. The result is indentation scarring.

Even if there's no inverse rupture of the follicle, picking often leads to gouging out a chunk of skin in an attempt to annihilate the pimple or blackhead. This too, can lead to unnecessary acne scarring.

The vast majority of the time we make our skin worse by picking at it. Once you start, it's hard to walk away from the mirror - so just don't start!

TO SCRUB OR NOT TO SCRUB...

Scrubbing at your acne with an acne facial scrub in Chico feels so rewarding that it's hard to believe it can actually do more harm than good.

Scrubs can be beneficial for thick, oily, resilient skin types with non-inflamed acne. A scrub should NOT make your skin feel sensitive or tender - at all.

The key to using a scrub is to gently float it underneath your finger tips with very little pressure. Too much pressure and you will damage your skin's barrier function and accelerate the aging process. Using scrubs on inflamed acne WILL make it worse - don't do this!

Not all scrubs are the same. Look for finely milled scrubs. Under a microscope, it's appearance should have rounded edges NOT jagged. How do you know??? Avoid over-the-counter products and stick with professional or medical grade lines.

HEALING PRODUCTS FOR ACNE...

I'm often asked, "what is the best acne product in Chico for dry, irritated skin?"

Good ole' petroleum jelly works well on dry, cracked areas and is non-comedogenic. If you are actively treating your acne, over dryness is common on the neck, chin & around the creases of the nose. Applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly seals the skin and locks in moisture, which allows the acneic skin to heal faster.

ACNE PRODUCTS AGING YOUR EYES

Acne products for the skin in Chico, Ca often have anti-aging properties, but that doesn't mean you should apply them under your eyes. 

The active ingredients in acne products are typically quite aggressive. Whereas, the skin around your eyes is delicate, thin and doesn't produce much oil. These factors make the eyes very sensitive to these products. While they work great for acne and keeping the skin radiant and youthful, they are NOT meant to be used directly around the eyes.

Keep your eyes youthful by only applying your skincare products up to the top of cheek bone.
