LEAKY GUT AND ACNE...

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC IN CHICO, CA   CUSTOMIZED ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM


A gut that has been compromised by gluten, sugar, alcohol, parasites, candidiasis, food sensitivities or intolerances, weak stomach acid and over eating - can often result in leaky gut (increased gut permeability). A leaky gut allows large undigested food molecules to pass into the blood stream along with parasites and harmful microbes. The body's immune system sends in antibodies to attack these "foreign invaders," which is followed by a variety of reactions.


SYMPTOMS OF LEAKY GUT MAY INCLUDE:

  • acne, skin rashes, eczema, hives
  • constipation and/or diarrhea
  • bloating, gas, indigestion, abdominal discomfort
  • blood and/or mucus in stool
  • nausea or feeling sick when consuming alcohol
  • food intolerances or sensitivities
  • poor concentration, poor memory, confusion, brain fog
  • chronic fatigue, tiredness
  • weakened immune system
  • nasal congestion, asthma, bronchitis, respiratory infections
  • shortness of breath

PUTTING OUT THE FIRE WITH CALENDULA...

BEST TREATMENT FOR INFLAMED ACNE      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When treating inflamed acne, the very first step is to eliminate redness. When the skin is inflamed, it is easily irritated by acne products that are designed to shed the skin. The sooner you eliminate inflammation, the quicker you can begin using a more aggressive acne products.

Calendula, more commonly known as Marigold, is a popular medicinal herb from the daisy family. Used as an anti-inflammatory for many conditions, it is especially beneficial in reducing the redness associated with inflamed acne. Calendula in a gel form is soothing to the skin and very effective at treating inflamed acne. Calendula also comes in an alcohol-based tincture, which is not recommended as it over-dries the skin and exacerbate inflamed acne.

ACNE & DRY CLIMATE CONDITIONS...

ACNE CLEARING REGIMEN CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

After escaping the Beaver Creek Fire, we caravanned our way to Park City, Utah for some downhill mountain biking and family fun. Despite the afternoon rains, the air is dry, which can over-dry skin leading to more oil production and increased breakouts.

For dry climate conditions, a hydrating serum loaded with hyaluronic acid helps bind water in the skin, while a moisturizing lotion with dimethicone creates a seal to lock in moisture.  Hydration is a key component to healing acne and preventing breakouts - so embrace the moisturizers!

FOR HELP TREATING BREAKOUTS & CLEARING ACNE, CONTACT 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC. OUR PATIENTS EXPERIENCE CLEAR, ACNE-FREE SKIN IN APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 16 WEEKS.  TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION:
