MORE MAGNSIUM PLEASE...

HELP TREATING ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

A high sugar diet causes the body to lose magnesium through the kidneys. So, regular consumption of foods and drinks high in sugar, or with a moderate to high glycemic index, can lead to a magnesium deficiency. Those eating the Standard American Diet are often low in magnesium and don't even know it!  Our fast paced lives have many of us hooked on convenience, which is nearly void of minerals.

Magnesium also leads to a healthy complexion and helps slow the skin's aging process by stabilizing the cells' supply of DNA and RNA.

 

MAGNESIUM-RICH FOODS:

• Dark leafy greens, especially spinach and swiss chard
• Nuts and seeds, especially pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, brazil nuts, almonds and cashews
• Mackerel, soy beans/edamame, quinoa, brown rice

LEAVE THE DAIRY TO THE COWS...

TREATMENT FOR BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

 Leave the dairy to the cows. Adding even a splash of cream or milk to your coffee is enough to trigger an acne flare-up. Even the most nutritious, raw and organic dairy products can act as a trigger in the acne-prone individual. Cow hormones in dairy products stimulate the pore's oil glands and cause congestion. Hormones are bound in the fatty part of dairy, so if it's your only option, choose nonfat milk.

When it comes to dairy, cow hormones aren't the only acne-causing culprit.  There is an inflammatory response to dairy (doesn't include eggs) that can manifest as acne in those prone to the disease. Dairy lurks in many salad dressings, pastries, protein bars, protein powders, processed foods, etc.

For more acne-fighting power in your coffee:  go decaf, go syrup-free and replace sugar/honey with stevia.

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC CLEARS MILD TO SEVERE ACNE IN 12 TO 16 WEEKS THROUGH A PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PROGRAM.  PLEASE CALL THE CLINIC TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST: (530) 503.9169

ICE OR HEAT FOR MY PIMPLES...

HOW TO HEAL ACNE AUBURN, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Heat or ice for breakouts?  If the pimple is red go for the ice. If you have a cyst, or the pimple is deep without any redness then go for the heat.

If the pimple or surrounding skin is inflamed, it has the potential to hyperpigment. This is a scar-like formation looks like a dark mark, and is termed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH. Icing the inflamed pimple for 2 to 3 minutes twice a day will help prevent acne scarring.



Warm compresses help draw fluid to the surface. If you have a cyst, deep pimple, or the lesion is open, a warm compress will help facilitate drainage. Following with ice will help decrease your chances of PIH.

ACNE: USING VITAMIN C CORRECTLY...

ADULT ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Supplementing with vitamin C helps manage stress by supporting adrenal function. It is recommended for those under stress, especially acne sufferers whose skin responds to stress by breaking out.

Past research suggests that vitamin C supplements interfere with dietary vitamin B12. Although, iron and nitrates may counteract this affect, it's important to take vitamin C 1-1/2 to 2 hours after meals.

FOR THE HELP OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST, PLEASE CALL CALL 916SKIN AND SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION. OUR ACNE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ALL TYPES OF ACNE. (530) 503.9169

HOW TO POP A PIMPLE...

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

One of the first rules in getting rid of acne is DON'T PICK! But, it's almost impossible to walk out the door when you wake up in the morning with a monster whitehead that's ready to blow.

Using two Qtips, place one on each side of the pustule. GENTLY, work all the way around the base of the lesion - rolling the Qtips down, in, and up. Using Qtips prevents you from mutilating your skin. When obsession begins to take over, put down the Qtips and walk away. It's not worth it!




BEST TECHNIQUE TO MINIMIZE REDNESS & SCARRING:
-Cleanse entire face for 60 seconds
-Tone entire face
-Extraction with Qtips
-Tone again over the extracted area
-Complete the remainder of your regimen
-Apply sunscreen (inflamed/irritated areas are more likely to hyperpigment)
-Keep your hands off your face

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC CAN HELP YOU GET RID OF ACNE IN NEARLY 3 TO 4 MONTHS. IF YOU HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO STICK TO A ROUTINE, CALL TO SCHEDULE A CONSULT WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST. (530) 503.9169

ROTATING FOODS FOR ACNE...

TREATING ACNE REDDING, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Food sensitivities can contribute to acne. Once food sensitivities have been identified, foods that provoke moderate and severe sensitivity should be completely avoided. Whereas, foods that provoke mild sensitivity can be rotated every 4 days.

Many food sensitivities develop as a result of eating a particular food (e.g. banana) everyday. When that food (banana) is completely avoided for a given period of time, the sensitivity will likely go away. Food sensitivities are delayed reactions that can take up to 72 hours to reveal a myriad of symptoms making them sometimes impossible to identify without testing.


916SKIN PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM & FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING. CONSULTATIONS WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST CAN BE SCHEDULED BY CALLING THE CLINIC. (530) 503.9169

WINTER WEATHER & ACNE...

ACNE CLINIC AUBURN, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

This week the temperature dropped, the air became dry and so did everbodys skin. If you feel like your skin is going to crack when you smile, it's an indicator that it's too dry. Skin that is too dry is more prone to breakouts. Topical hydrating products introduce moisture and contain ingredients that bind to water in the skin. Dimethicone based lotions and creams act as a seal over the skin to lock in moisture. Certain sunscreens have similar properties.

Hydrators, lotions, creams and sunscreens should be applied multiple times throughout the day to help heal and protect dry vulnerable skin. And remember, if you are prone to breakouts even the most expensive products can clog your pores.

SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST IN YOUR AREA TO ENSURE YOU ARE USING THE CORRECT SKINCARE PRODUCTS. ACNE PROGRAM INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT OUR WEBSITE.  (530) 503.9169

IS EPIDUO FOR ME...

ACNE MEDICATION CHICO, CA          916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Epiduo is a prescription acne medication commonly prescribed by dermatologists to treat mild and moderate acne.


EPIDUO ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Adapalene 0.1% (topical retinoid)
Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%


While Epiduo is effective for some acne sufferers, treating acne successfully requires a customized acne skincare system.

ADRENAL BOOSTERS FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR PIMPLES CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When it comes to breakouts, stress can be a major culprit. So, managing acne also means learning to manage your adrenal glands.

NUTRITIONAL AIDS TO FUEL THE ADRENAL GLANDS:
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids:  helps manage stress by supporting the adrenal cascade, strengthens the immune system

Vitamin B Complex:  helps manage stress by supporting the adrenal cascade; brown rice is a rich source of B vitamins

Pantothenic Acid (B5):  B vitamin that has a powerful affect on the adrenal cascade; royal jelly is high in pantothenic acid

L-Tyrosine:  amino acid that allows the adrenal glands to function effectively

GLA (gamma-linolenic acid):  omega-6 fatty acid (fat) required by the adrenals to produce steroid hormones; borage oil, evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil are high in GLA

Astragalus:  herb/extract that strengthens the adrenals and the immune system

Eleuthero Root: prepares the adrenal glands for stress; should be avoided by those who have high blood pressure

Raw Adrenal: helps support proper adrenal function

ACNE TIP FOR FREQUENT FLYERS...

FACIALS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Wear your sunscreen on the airplane. The higher you go, the closer you get to the sun.  Ultraviolet light penetrates airplane windows. UVA rays are the "aging rays" and the "cancer causing rays." UVA rays can be deceiving because they don't tan or burn the skin, but they can cause serious long term damage especially to skin made more vulnerable by acne care products. At 30,000 plus feet, your skin is also at risk of volatile UVC rays. Do your skin a favor and slather on the sunscreen before take off.

LOSE THE FACIAL HAIR GUYS...

ACNE CARE FOR MEN IN CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Acne treatment for men can be a little tricky when it comes to facial hair. Many grow facial hair to cover their acne, so they're usually not very thrilled when we tell them they need to shave. But, in order for most acne treatment procedures to be effective, you need to lose the facial hair.

Keep in mind, the better something penetrates the better it will work. So, whether you are are doing a series of acne peels, laser treatments or light therapies - you will want to lose the facial hair. The success of an acne program relies heavily on the skincare routine you do at home. In order for these acne care products to give you results - they also need to penetrate the skin.  Any type of barrier will impede the effectiveness of your products.

DAIRY-FREE CHICKEN SALAD...

HELP FOR ACNE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Dairy-free chicken salad. There are many things you can do to help get rid of acne. Start by eliminating dairy from your diet. This is a toughie, but cutting out dairy has had a significant effect on many of our patient outcomes. If eliminating dairy seems impossible, take baby steps. Start by limiting your intake to every other day for 2 weeks. Then limit dairy to every third day for 2 weeks, and so on... Once you've found some tasty replacements, it gets much easier.

DAIRY-FREE CHICKEN SALAD:

- 3 to 4 chicken breasts

- 2 cups chicken broth

- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes

- 1 diced red bell pepper

- 1/2 cup diced red onion 

- 3/4 cup baby peas

- 1 1/2 cups hummus

- salt & pepper

If not using left over chicken or rotisserie chicken, pour broth over chicken breasts, cover, and bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE IN CHICO...

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

I'm always looking for places that offer gluten-free options. Bellachinos Cafe & Coffee House in Chico has a gluten-free berry pie that is delicious without being overly sweet - served warm if you like!

Part of managing acne is learning to manage foods. Many Americans have a some degree intestinal permeability, and don't even know it. Intestinal permeability, known less formally as "leaky gut," makes our bodies susceptible to food sensitivities. These sensitivities can be genetic, but many sensitivities develop from eating the same foods day after day. This, in part, is why so many Americans have become sensitive to gluten.

Symptoms of food sensitivities are vast, manifest differently in different people, and often go unnoticed.  A variety of skin conditions are common including psoriasis, eczema and even acne in acne-prone individuals.

Gluten Containing Grains: Wheat, Barley, Malt, Spelt, Rye & Oat (some varieties are gluten-free)
Gluten-Free Grains: Rice, Quinoa, Corn, Amaranth, Millet, Sorghum & Buckwheat (100%)

SWEETEN WITH STEVIA FOR ACNE...

TREATING PIMPLES CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Sugar has become such a normal part of our daily lives that when we have a caramel latte, a pastry, a soda or some Halloween candy, we often think nothing of it. Not only is sugar one of the top 5 triggers for acne, but it also triggers inflammation, weakens the immune system, and is at the root of most degenerative diseases.

Next time you reach for the sugar or the honey, try sweetening with Stevia instead. Stevia is a plant from the sunflower family that has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years. The leaves can be used to sweeten sun tea or blended up in a smoothie. The concentrated powder form is widely available at supermarkets. Granted, it takes some getting used to, but its positive influence on pH and blood sugar make this herb a winner!  Learn more about Stevia.

CHOCOLATE OR SUNSCREEN...

ACNE FACIAL CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Chocolate or sunscreen? BOTH!
Dark chocolate can help protect the skin from UV rays. Bioflavonoids found in dark chocolate help protect the skin from sunburn and other signs of UV damage. When used as a mask or applied directly to the skin, it can help repair and rehydrate sun damaged skin. But, scientists warn "don't skimp on the sunscreen" unless you eat 32 pounds of dark chocolate per day!

To keep acne under control, choose at least 80% dark chocolate. Even at 80 percent, the sugar content can trigger acne so don't eat eat the whole thing! Unalkalized dark chocolate has far superior nutritional benefits, but can be difficult to find.

NUTS OVER ACNE...

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

Go nuts.  A handful of nuts is a handful of nutrition. Nuts are a great source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and good healthy fats. They also provide the body with protein. Although, nuts are not a complete protein, they are the highest source of protein in the plant kingdom, and can be easily combined with a number of grains or legumes to make a complete protein.

Treating acne relies on the body's ability to repair and replace tissue. Providing your body with the building blocks to do so will improve your recovery time.

PROTEIN BASED ON 1/4 CUP SERVING:
Sunflower seeds = 8 grams
Almonds = 7 grams
Pumpkin seeds = 7 grams

SLEEP FOR A CLEAR COMPLEXION...

HELP FOR ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Want a clearer complexion? Get more sleep.
You've heard it a thousand times before, especially when you're feeling under the weather.  The same is true for your skin.  Sleep repairs the body. It refuels the adrenal glands to help you manage stress, and it repairs the skin by bringing newer healthier cells to the skin's surface.  Eight to nine hours of sleep each night will leave skin looking brighter, tighter, clearer and more refreshed.  If you're dragging in the afternoon, a quick 10 minute cat nap will lower your stress and help keep acne under control.

Sleep alone, will not get you clear. But, when combined with the right tools, the right products and the right treatments, a good night's sleep can make a big difference.

ALPHA HYDROXYS FOR ACNE...

BEST ACNE REMEDY CHICO, CA          916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). These are skin care ingredients that slow the aging process and can help prevent acne.  Alpha hydroxy acids are natural acids commonly derived from a variety of foods such as sugar cane, fruits, vegetables, almonds and sour milk. The acids work by breaking down the intracellular glue that binds skin cells together, causing dead cells to flake off and younger cells to make their way to the skin's surface.



AHAs commonly used in skin care:
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Tartaric Acid

AHAs commonly used in acne skin care:
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid

WHY ALMONDS FOR ACNE...

HELP FOR ACNE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Eat almonds. Choosing proper foods helps promote the healing process in acne and a variety of other conditions. Raw almonds are a healthy alternative to the acne-promoting peanut and peanut butter. Raw organic almonds are moderately anti-inflammatory, and provide the body with a healthy fats that improve cellular function - including skin cells! Almonds are a good natural source of vitamin E, choline and folate, and provide the body with a wealth of minerals (below).

Sliced apples with almond butter make for a delicious snack. Try carrying a bag of raw almonds in your purse for a quick and easy nutritional boost throughout the day.

CHOOSE WISELY:
Organic raw almonds are always your healthiest choice. When it comes to roasting, always choose dry roasted over almonds roasted in oil. When choosing almond butter the ingredient label should read: organic almonds. That's it! Always buy your nuts fresh. Your local Farmer's Market is your best choice for fresh organic almonds as well as almond butter. Many of the packaged nuts have been sitting around in a wear house, or on the supermarket shelves, for long periods of time and the oils become rancid. Rancid oils are dangerous to your health. If you find your nuts don't taste fresh, throw them away!

HORSE POWER FOR ACNE ROSACEA...

TREATING ACNE ROSACEA CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

For broken capillaries that often accompany acne rosacea, try horse chestnut, an powerful herbal extract that improves the integrity of blood vessels. Taking this herb will not repair the existing broken capillaries, but studies show that when taken in extract form, it strengthens blood vessels and reduces swelling. Choose extracts in whole or capsule form, as there is not much evidence to support the use of creams for this purpose.

Acne rosacea is a progressive inflammatory disease that can be managed by taking the proper precautions. Strengthening your vessels is the first step in controlling this disease.

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC PROVIDES TREATMENT PLANS FOR ACNE ROSACEA,  MILD TO SEVERE ACNE AND ACNE SCARRING. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE OR CALLING THE CLINIC AT:  (530) 503.9169 

ACNE SUFFERERS BEWARE OF UV RAYS...

ACNE CARE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Beware of Ultra Violet rays.  There are two types of Ultra Violet (UV) rays, in which us earthlings need to protect ourselves. UVA rays - rays that penetrate the dermal skin layer, alter DNA,  cause aging and skin cancer.  UVB rays - rays that penetrate the epidermal skin layer and cause sunburn and aging.

UV rays emitted from the sun reflect off cars, rocks, side walks, buildings and onto our skin. Once UV rays have breached the skin's barrier, oxidative damage caused by free radicals, reeks havoc on vulnerable acne-prone skin.

UV rays penetrate most clothing, especially loose knits. UVA rays penetrate glass and are emitted in small amounts from fluorescent lighting.  So for those who work in an office seated near a window, this double whammy of UV exposure, will rapidly damage your skin if certain precautions aren't taken.

Wear tight knit clothing with UPF when possible. Turn window blinds to deflect UV rays. Wear broad spectrum sunscreen everyday with an SPF30 even when indoors and on cloudy cool days.  Choose a professional sunscreen that contains a minimum of 7% zinc oxide. Some professional brands contain 18% zinc oxide - that glide on thin, silky and oil-free.

FOR HELP SELECTING THE PROPER NON-COMEDOGENIC SUNSCREEN PLEASE SCHEDULE A PRODUCT CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST. INFORMATION ABOUT THE 916 ACNE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE AT OUR WEBSITE.  (530) 503.9169

IS YOUR BEVY AN ACNE TRIGGER...

TREAT PIMPLES CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When it comes to controlling breakouts, the more you reduce your sugar consumption, the healthier your complexion.  Most people overlook the sugar content of beverages entirely.  So don't be surprised when a seemingly single-sized bottle of juice, flavored milk, or frappuccino contains 2 to 3 servings - and averages 30 grams of sugar per serving.  Your best bet: drink more water and herbal teas!

Calculations based on 30 grams of sugar per serving:
1 serving   = 6 teaspoons of sugar
2 servings  = 12 teaspoons of sugar
3 servings  = 18 teaspoons of sugar

BENEFITS OF MANDELIC FOR ACNE

WHERE TO BUY ACNE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Mandelic Acid.  When used in conjunction with the correct acne skincare plan, this aromatic alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) works wonders for acne. Mandelic acid has built-in anti-bacterial properties. It helps control oil, which means less food for ravenous bacteria. As one of the larger AHAs, Mandelic penetrates the skin more slowly, which means less irritation.


Although Mandelic is a gentle molecule, some individuals have burning and itching when using this product, which is why it is important to always have a sensitivity test performed before beginning a new skincare regimen.

MANDELIC ACID IS OFFERED IN A VARIETY OF CONCENTRATIONS, AND CAN BE PURCHASED AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC. TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION OR SENSITIVITY TEST, PLEASE CONTACT THE CLINIC AT: (530) 503.9169

SKIP THE FACE MASSAGE...

CURE ACNE IN CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Skip the face massage. Just because massage oil doesn't make other people break-out, doesn't mean it won't make you break-out. Being prone to acne means eliminating all the triggers, and this includes eliminating anything that might be potentially comedogenic (pore clogging). Many products will claim to be non-comedogenic, but will still clog the pores. So, why take the risk? The next time you go in for a massage - skip the face massage!

916SKIN IS AN ACNE CLINIC IN CHICO, CALIFORNIA. PATIENT REVIEWS AND DETAILS ABOUT OUR ACNE PROGRAM CAN BE FOUND ON-LINE.  CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE CLINIC AT: (530) 503.9169. 

DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE...

ACNE REMEDY CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Don't touch your face.
Keeping your hands off your face is just one of many strategies you can take to help get rid of acne. This alone, will not clear your skin, but when combined with all the right tools - it will help!

Touching your face is something that most of us do over and over again throughout the day without even realizing we're doing it. We see this a lot at our clinic when people come in for their initial consultation. Once it is brought to their attention, they begin to catch themselves doing it - all day long!

Not only does touching your face introduce more bacteria, it introduces substances that may clog your pores and irritate the follicles. Also, leave the picking to the professionals. Picking and popping pimples done incorrectly can cause scarring, spread infection and make the acne lesion look worse.

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO GET CLEAR IN 12 TO 16 WEEKS. FOR HELP TREATING ACNE OR ACNE SCARRING, PLEASE CALL: (530) 503.9169

WARMING SOCKS TREATMENT...

HELP FOR ACNE CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC


WARMING SOCKS TREATMENT: a simple and effective method that increases circulation and stimulates lymphatic flow to help speed the healing process for minor illnesses such as colds, flus, sinusitis, soar throats, insomnia and even acne.


WARMING SOCKS PROCEDURE: Get ready for bed. Take care of all your before-bedtime rituals. You will need a pair of tight cotton socks and a pair of thick wool sock. With scissors, cut off the top portion of the cotton socks so that the entire top part of your feet are exposed (see photo). Wet the cotton socks with cold water and wring them out - leaving them damp and cold.




1.) Warm legs and feet by soaking for 5 to 10 minutes. This is important, in order for the treatment to be effective.

2.) After drying off, put on the cold damp cotton booties.

3.) Put the warm thick wool socks on over the damp booties.

4.) Go straight to bed and avoid getting chilled. Make sure you have plenty of blankets before hand.

Your socks will dry within a few hours. If you get over heated during the night, you can take the socks off. Having a small cup of hot ginger tea before bed also helps warm the body.

TREATING ACNE REQUIRES A DYNAMIC APPROACH, WHICH INCLUDES BI-WEEKLY TREATMENT, A PROGRESSIVE CUSTOMIZED SKINCARE SYSTEM AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT PROMOTE OPTIMAL HEALTH & WELLNESS. CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING: (530) 503.9169

ACNE TIP: CHANGE YOUR PILLOW CASE...

ACNE SPECIALIST CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

If you are prone to breakouts - CHANGE YOUR PILLOW CASE!

The skincare products you are using may be non-comedogenic, but most haircare products contain pore clogging ingredients. This means that not only is the grit, grime and bacteria from the day rubbing off onto your pillow case, but so are your hair products. When trying to control acne, it's important to keep the breakout area clean and free of acne triggers.

Instead of planting your face into the same dirty pillow case night after night, get yourself a large stack of pillow cases. For cleaner, clearer skin, lay a fresh case over the top of your pillow every night.

ACNE: LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE...

HELP FOR ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

ACNE TIP:
LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE

The peeling and sloughing nature of most acne products makes the skin more vulnerable to damage from ultra violet rays. UV damage is known to increase hyperpigmentation, destroy elasticity, induce Solar Acne and trigger Acne Majorca. Over exposure to the sun can irritate and damage the follicles (pores) in certain individuals, slowing the healing process of acne.

916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC APPLIES ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACNE. THE FIRST STEP TO CLEARING YOUR ACNE IS SCHEDULING A SKINCARE CONSULTATION BY CALLING: (530) 503.9169

DRY BRUSHING FOR ACNE...

HELP CONTROLLING ACNE CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Among the many home remedies for acne, dry brushing can help those who suffer from liver-based acne. This type of acne is typically triggered by toxic overload and the liver's inability to keep up with amount of toxins flooding the body.

The main purpose of dry brushing is to stimulate the lymph, which helps the body rid itself of toxins. Dry body brushing also exfoliates the skin, stimulates circulation, improve skin tone, reduces cellulite and enhances digestion and kidney function.

HOW TO DRY BRUSH:
Using a soft bristled brush, use long gentle sweeping motions - always toward the heart (don't scrub back and forth or in circles). Sweep the brush up the arms, up the legs and up the torso. Dry brushing should be done 1 to 2 times a day. And remember, make sure your brush and your body are dry!
