ARTICHOKES: A SUPERFOOD FOR ACNE...

ACNE THERAPIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Artichokes are a superfood for acne! As a clear-skin food, artichokes are highly beneficial in helping the liver to detoxify harmful substances that promote acne and other skin conditions.

After experiencing the nasty smell and flavor of an steamed artichoke that had been previously frozen raw, I did a couple of experiements to figure out if there was a way of freezing an artichoke that would maintain the flavor. Here are some tips:

The trick is to steam your artichokes before you freeze them! After steaming, rest the artichoke upside down to drain completely. Wrap in foil, place in freezer bag and freeze. When it comes time to thaw and eat, remove the outer most ring of leaves and blanch for approximately 5 to 7 minutes. To avoid additional toxins, which are commonly stored in fat, use organic butter.

ACNE: WHAT"S SO SPECIAL ABOUT QUINOA

CUSTOMIZED ACNE DIETS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TRAETMENT CLINIC


Rich in B vitamins, this grain fuels the adrenals to help your body manage acne and stress!

Quinoa, pronounced keen-wah, is a plant with a tall stalk that grows similar to corn with clusters of colorful grain at the tops of the plant. Quinoa is typically more expensive because it is not as widely available in the U.S as other grains


What's so special about quinoa? It's nutritional profile is unlike any other grain! It is rich in the amino acids responsible for boosting glutathione and is made up of approximately 18% protein. This power food contains vitamin B and E, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, and is in iron, phosphorous and calcium.

HEALING LEAKY GUT AND ACNE...

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

A leaky gut or intestinal permeability needs to be completely healed in order to restore overall health including acne and other skin conditions associated with Leaky Gut. Under optimal conditions, the microvilli of the small intestine have the ability to heal and regenerate in 4 to 5 days. If deep tears exist in the gut's lining, the regeneration process will take much longer.

A leaky gut cannot efficiently produce the digestive enzymes necessary to break down certain foods. As a result, food ferments in the gut fueling pathogenic microbes that continue to attack the gut's lining.


The correct diet and proper nutritional supplementation can heal your gut, help clear your acne and promote overall wellness!

THE ACNE SPECIALISTS AT 916SKIN DEVELOP TREATMENT PROTOCOLS BASED UPON THE NEEDS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. WHETHER YOU SUFFER FROM NUTRITIONAL IMBALANCES, ADRENAL FATIGUE OR ARE IN NEED OF TOPICAL TREATMENT, 916 IS YOUR SKIN'S LUCKY NUMBER! (530) 503.9169

CALENDULA FOR INFLAMED ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR INFLAMED ACNE CHICO      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

The first step in treating inflamed acne is to eliminate the redness. When skin is inflamed, it is easily aggravated by other acne products. The quicker you put out the fire, the sooner you can introduce more aggressive acne regimen.

Calendula is a medicinal herb from the daisy family. It is widely used as an anti-inflammatory and is beneficial in reducing the redness. Calendula suspended in a gel is most effective for treating inflammation associated with acne as tinctures often contain alcohols that can potentially over-dry and irritate the skin.

CAN ACNE PRODUCTS CAUSE SKIN CANCER...

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

If you are using anti-aging products or acne products you need to take extra precautions in protecting yourself from the sun. Most anti-aging and acne care products are designed to force the skin to shed its outer layers. While shedding leaves our skin smooth, radiant and clear, it also makes it more vulnerable to the sun if left unprotected. A broad spectrum sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours throughout the day - rain or shine, inside or outside!



WHO IS AT RISK OF GETTING SKIN CANCER:
-Everyone is at risk for getting skin cancer, but some more than others.
-Those with fair skin and a tendency to freckle and burn easily.
-Those who have had cumulative/repetitive sun exposures.
-Those taking immunosuppressive drugs such as organ transplant recipients.
-People exposed to arsenic.
-People who have had intermittent yet acute sun exposure leading to a sunburn, especially burns that occurred during childhood or adolescence.
-Those with many benign melanocyte nevi as well as atypical nevi.

ACNE & FOOD COMBINING WITH PROTEIN...

ACNE FACIAL TREATMENTS IN CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Healthy clear skin stems from proper digestion. Although diet alone will not clear your acne, knowing which food combinations to avoid will help optimize digestion, reduce toxins and promote healthier skin.

Proteins and starches should be eaten separately. Proteins require an acidic environment to be broken down and utilized properly. Starches, on the other hand, need an alkaline environment to be digested properly. Proteins combine well with non-starchy vegetables and greens as do starchy foods, but when proteins and starches are eaten together they slow down metabolism, promoting toxicity, gut imbalances, weight gain and skin problems.

DOES RUBBING ALCOHOL HEAL PIMPLES...

 ACNE CURE CHICO  916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Anyone who suffers from acne has put rubbing alcohol on their pimples at some point in the game!

Rubbing alcohol strips the skin of its natural oils. This may sound like a good thing to those with oily skin, but over drying the skin can cause more breakouts.  In the body's attempt to maintain homeostasis, your sebaceous glands pump out even more oil to compensate for what's been stripped away by the alcohol. The best home remedy is cleansing with a mild antiseptic cleanser and applying ice for 1 to 2 minutes morning and evening. There are a variety of professional products that will help control the oil AND clear your skin.

Treating acne is different for every person.  It depends on oil production, acne type and skin sensitivity - to name a few.  Many factors need to be taken into consideration when developing an acne treatment protocol. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with an Acne Specialist - someone who will customize a treatment plan that is right or you! ...and no more rubbing alcohol.

CLARISONIC VS. OTHER SKIN CLEANSING BRUSHES...

BUY CLARISONIC IN CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Here, at 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC, we begin almost all acne facials, chemical peels and light therapies with the Clarisonic in order to achieve optimal results.

Clarisonic's oscillating action has a proprietary counter-oscillating mechanism that protects the skin's integrity. Other facial brushes rotate in a circular motion, which over time, takes its toll on the skin's elasticity.

The oscillating action of Clarisonic deeply cleanses the pores without creating friction or heat. Whereas, a circular rotating brush head creates friction and thus has a tendency to create more heat - causing irritation in more sensitive skin types.

The patented sonic technology of Clarisonic allows it to oscillate at more than 300 motions per second, which gives it the ability to super cleanse your skin 6 times better than cleansing with the hands.

Clinical studies have shown that use of Clarisonic increases the absorption of skin care products. Immediately after cleansing with Clarisonic, the skin absorbs a whopping 61% more topical vitamin C than it does after manual cleansing.

TO RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CLARISONIC CONSULTATION OR TO SCHEDULE AN ACNE CONSULTATION PLEASE CALL US AT: (530) 503.9169. 

ACNE & GLYCEMIC INDEX...

BEST ACNE FACIAL TREATMENT CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


A high carbohydrate diet can worsen the effects of acne. Research points out that high carb diets spike insulin, which in turn increases hormone levels creating imbalances. These hormonal imbalances act to trigger acne in those genetically predisposed to the condition.

Researchers also point out that not all carbohydrates have the same effect on blood sugar. Certain carbohydrates are digested more slowly causing a more gradual rise in blood sugar. To help the body regulate hormones, a slow gradual rise is preferred to a spike.

The glycemic index was developed by researchers to rank foods and beverages based on the speed in which they are digested and thus how they influence blood sugar. Foods that have a high glycemic index ranking are foods that are metabolized quickly and spike the blood sugar. Whereas, low glycemic index foods are those that breakdown slowly and cause a gradual rise in blood sugar.  Carbohydrate-based foods that contain fat and or fiber take longer to digest, and as a result, are generally lower on the glycemic index. To help manage acne and for overall optimal health, the most healthful diet is one that is low in glycemic index.

DAIRY, ACNE & BLOOD TYPE...

ACNE DIET CHICO, CA  AVAILABLE AT:  916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

Dairy is one of the top 5 acne triggers for those who are susceptible to acne. Evidence shows there are specific groups of foods that are suited for different people based on their blood type.  Blood type B is the only group that does well on dairy. Blood type AB should limit their intake of dairy to once or twice a week. All other blood types should avoid dairy. The reason blood type B benefits from dairy is because the primary sugar in the Type B antigen is the same sugar that is present in many dairy products - D-galactosamine. Throughout the world, B is the rarest blood allele and only makes up 16% of the population. It is even more rare in the U.S., and does not exceed more than 5% of the population.

ACNE SCARRING & FETAL SKIN CELLS...

ACNE SCAR REGIMEN CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

There are anti-aging and acne products on the market that contain an ingredient consisting of cultured fetal skin cells. This ingredient may be formulated with other ingredients and patented under another name.

Beginning in the early 1990s, medical researchers found evidence that cultured fetal skin cells have the capability to heal wounds without the aftermath of scarring. Researchers claim this ingredient to be effective on acne scarring and aging skin because they have similar resurfacing requirements as wounded skin.
