THE ART OF POPPING A PIMPLE

ALTERNATIVE ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

An important tip for acne sufferers - DON'T POP PIMPLES!

It is better to leave them untouched and allow your body to heal on its own. Believe it or not, there is a technique to popping zits the right way. Doing it incorrectly will likely cause skin discoloration and scarring. Yet still, most acne sufferers can't resist the urge because they think that popping the zit will get rid of it quicker - even when past experience has taught them otherwise. The effects of popping pimples can last much longer and be more difficult to get rid of than if you were to just leave it alone. Professional treatment prepares the skin for extractions, and your skin practitioner will use proper techniques to avoid scarring and promote the healing process.

Make Your Sunscreen Work Harder...

ACNE SKIN CARE PROGRAM CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

MAKE YOUR SUNSCREEN WORK HARDER!

Sunscreens with anti-oxidants give you added protection from the oxidizing and aging effects of free radicals emitted from UV rays. Anti-oxidants like green tea extract, milk thistle, caffeine, l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and tocopherols (vitamin E) can go a long way in preserving your skin's integrity, and will help prevent hyperpigmented acne scarring, known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Anti-oxidants also provide an added layer of protection against environmental pollutants, wiping them out before they damage your skin.

Acne & Subconscious Picking...

TOP ACNE TREATMENT  AT 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CENTER CHICO

There is INTENSIONAL PICKING: "I have got to pop that zit before I leave the house."

AND

There is SUBCONSCIOUS PICKING: "la-la-la...         I have no idea I'm destroying my skin right now."

While both forms of picking are equally difficult to control, subconscious picking is a tricky one because you don't even realize that you are doing it!  It helps if you have a trusted friend, partner, co-worker, or family member in which you can confide. By giving them permission to tell you to "STOP PICKING" you will eventually begin to catch yourself in the act and learn to control this behavior. Picking usually makes acne lesions look worse, and can cause hyperpigmentation, acne scarring including deep pit marks.

Green Tea For Clear Skin and Healthy Heart

ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

GREEN TEA. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY. 
Green tea packs a powerful polyphenolotic punch, which launches free radicals into the arms of antioxidants. According to laboratory studies, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the super antioxidants of green tea, is known to knock out inflammation and destroy cancer cells. Drinking green tea is associated with a reduced risk of several types of cancer and heart disease. Further more, controlled testing with healthy people shows that: 

2 CUPS A DAY: decreases measures of oxidative stress and DNA damage in blood. 

3 CUPS A DAY: reduces oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a significant factor in the development of heart disease. The beneficial effects of green tea are accompanied by decrease in inflammation of the arteries - another important factor in preventing heart disease. 

4 CUPS A DAY OF DECAFFEINATED GREEN TEA: produces significant antioxidant effects for cigarette smokers, whose bodies are exposed to greater oxidative stress than non-smokers.

Decreasing oxidative stress and reducing arterial inflammation not only promotes a healthy heart and body, but also healthy clear skin!

Black Tea and Clear Skin

BLACK TEA...

The majority of EGCG have been replaced by less potent antioxidants called flavins. So, while drinking black tea does not produce the same antioxidant benefits as green tea, it DOES have its own super power bennies.


4 CUPS A DAY: improves blood vessel flexibility and increases blood flow in healthy people as well as in patients with heart disease or high cholesterol.

 2 CUPS A DAY OR MORE:  decreased incidence of heart attacks as well as lowers blood pressure more than people who do not drink tea.

REGULAR CONSUMPTION OF BLACK TEA helps reverse leukoplakia, a condition which is a precursor to oral cancer.

REGULAR CONSUMPTION OF GREEN OR BLACK TEA inhibits growth of prostate cancer cells in men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SKIN? Most illnesses, diseases, disorders, or conditions eventually take their toll on the skin. A healthy body is the foundation for healthy skin!

What Does Clear Skin Have To Do With Onions?

ACNE SKINCARE PRODUCTS IN CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

What's all this talk about         "cell-turn-over?"

Cellular turn over occurs when dead skin cells slough off throughout the day, which happens every day - all day.  These cells are replaced by younger cells that have made their way up to the skin's surface. While these "younger" cells are also DEAD, they are smoother and give the skin a healthier appearance.  The faster your cell-turn-over rate the healthier your skin will look.

Like the outer layers of an onion, the outer most layer eventually becomes dry, cracked and wrinkled. But, peel back that outer layer and the onion has a smooth , fresh, hydrated, youthful appearance. The same is true with your skin. By using skincare products to speed up cell-turn-over, not only do you decongest the skin and help control acne, but you get the perks of younger looking skin!

Treating Acne with Retinoids - Yay or Nay?

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


Tazorac, an acne medication manufactured by Allergan, is one of the brand names for the compound tazarotene, Tazorac is a vitamin A derivative (retinoid) available at 0.05% or 0.1%  in a cream or gel. Retinoids regulate the growth of skin cells and are effective ingredients in acne products as well as anti-aging products due to their ability to speed up cell-turn-over.


Prescription retinoids can be irritating to the skin, and often set acne sufferers back, due in part to their tendency to over dry and irritate the skin. While certain retinoids can be highly beneficial in treating acne, retinoids alone will not get rid of your acne. The most effective treatment for acne is a combination of active ingredients where the selection is based on your skin type and the state of your acne.

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC treats acne without the use of harmful prescription medications. Please call the clinic to schedule an Acne Consultation. View our ACNE SUCCESS STORIES.

Do Fragrances Trigger Breakouts???

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC IN CHICO, CA


How do scented body wash and soap lead to acne?

For starters, body washes and soaps typically run opposite of the skin's biochemistry leading to dryness. Then, you tack on the "fragrance factor"...  More and more people are developing chemical sensitivities, which includes sensitivities to fragrances and perfumes. These types of sensitivities, whether allergies or intolerances, cause skin irritation that results in dryness. And, with excessive dryness comes the potential for acne breakouts!

Tips For Keeping Acne At Bay In The Winter...

ACNE SKIN TREATMENT CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Skin that is TOO DRY is prone to breakouts!!!

Acne-prone peeps are usually in a constant state of  trying to dry out their skin. While you want to control the oil, it's important not to loose the moisture. Retaining the moisture/water content in your skin helps prevent breakouts. And, stripping your skin of its oils will cause moisture loss.



5 Tips To Keep Your Skin From Getting TOO DRY During The Winter Months:

#1) Avoid bar soap, bottled soap, or scented soaps and washes.

#2) Blow dry your hair with warm or cool air.

#3) Turn down the heat & don't sit too close to the heat sources.

#4) Turn down the heat in the shower.

#5) Use a hydrating agent on your skin, a dimethicone-based moisturizer, and a noncomedogenic sunscreen.
