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.

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!

AVERAGE AGE OF ACNE PATIENTS...

TREATMENT FOR ADULT ACNE CHICO, CA    READ ANGIE'S SUCCESS STORY

People often ask us, "are most of your acne patients teenagers?"  It's interesting that we have the perception that it's mostly teenagers that are plagued by acne. Most are surprised to discover that the majority of our patients suffer from adult acne, a condition that develops well after the teen years. The average age of our acne patients is 28 years old.

While those who suffer from acne are likely to have a genetic predisposition to the condition, other cases are thought to be influenced soley by environmental factors such as toxic overload, diet-based hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, gut imbalances and stress.

MOST COMMON MISTAKE WITH CLARISONIC...

ACNE TREATMENT CENTER CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

MOST COMMON MISTAKE WHEN USING CLARISONIC: Pressing the brush into the skin. The fibers built into the Clarisonic brush heads are designed to oscillate at three-hundred times per second. Pushing down when using Clarisonic impedes the super sonic cleansing action of the brush. To get the very most out of your Skin Cleansing Brush, gently glide the fibers over your skin allowing your Clarisonic to do the job it was designed to do!  Happy Cleansing!

ACNE IN BLOOD TYPE AB...

ACNE THERAPY REVIEWS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Blood type AB is the rare as it makes up less than 5 percent of the population. It is the newest of the blood types, evolving only an estimated twelve-hundred years ago.The AB blood type is a result of interactions between type As and Bs, and it is the only blood type that developed as a result of these interactions; whereas, blood types A, B and O resulted from environmental pressures.

AB blood types thrive on a diet high in lean protein and leafy green vegetables. They benefit from both a combination of calming and intense exercise. ABs tend to have a highly tolerant immune system, but are prone to cardiovascular disease and digestive problems. Probiotics and digestive enzymes are highly beneficial for the acne-prone AB individual.

BENEFITS OF WILD RICE FOR ACNE...

ACNE AND DIET CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WILD RICE:
Wild rice is rich in the B vitamins, which play an important role in managing stress and stress related acne. With The Paleo Diet as the driving force behind many of today's nutrition plans, people are steering clear of grains all together. This is unfortunate as even just 1/4 cup of wild rice can provide many healthful benefits. Wild rice is high in fiber, B-Complex vitamins, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, and contains twice as much protein as white rice.

It's true, some people don't respond well to grains. Listen to your body. How do you feel after eating certain foods. Are you alert, focused, energized? Or, are you scatter brained, fatigued and lethargic. How does your gut feel? Content, or is it bloated, gaseous and grumbling?  Bottom line, if you feel well after eating wild rice - EAT IT!

THE 916 ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM TAKES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO CLEARING ACNE. THROUGH TOPICAL ACNE THERAPIES, NUTRITION & PROPER LIFESTYLE CHOICES, YOU TOO CAN HAVE CLEAR RADIANT SKIN.(530) 503.9169

MY BREAK-UP MADE ME BREAKOUT...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Want an acne remedy? Stop your crying.
Yes, heartbreak can lead to breakouts.  The heartbreak, crying and emotional distress associated with break-ups can lead to breakouts in those who are susceptible to acne.

Getting rid of acne relies on many factors, one of which, includes learning to manage stress.  Be it emotional, mental or physical - the body interprets stress the same way - by kicking the adrenal glands into overdrive and stimulating a hormonal response that increases the production and stickiness of sebum. In turn, this stress response increases the food supply for ravenous bacteria dwelling within the depths of your pores. And, practically over night, you get a breakout!

This is Jen. Jen had severe cystic acne for 13 years. She completed the 916 Acne Treatment Program over 2 years ago, and aside from a random pimple now and again, her skin has remained radiant and clear.

Most of the people that come in for their initial skincare consultation are skeptical about our Acne Treatment Program - and, for good reason. They have tried an arsenal of products, prescriptions and natural remedies only to realize, that once again, nothing has worked. We hear this everyday, and suggest checking out our patients' acne skincare reviews in order to build confident about our approach to treatment.

ACNE: ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN C...

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



If you are under stress, you require higher levels of vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) plays an important role in the adrenal cascade (stress response). When we are under stress, be it acute or chronic, our body needs more vitamin C in order to support this stress response.

Over time, insufficient levels of L-ascorbic acid results inefficient adrenal function, which is most commonly accompanied by fatigue as well as body aches, low blood pressure, light headedness, hair loss, acne and greater susceptibility to infections.




Acne sufferers have a greater potential for breakouts when under stress. Giving your body the nutrition it needs to cope with stress is simply another tool to help manage your acne. Remember, acne generally can't be treated by any one thing. The best course of treatment, is a well-rounded approach.

EMOTIONAL SCARS OF ACNE...

 ADVANCED ACNE SKINCARE IN CHICO       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC



Those who have suffered from acne often develop certain mannerisms as a result of their skin condition. Generally, it is avoidance and isolation. Positioning themselves at the dinner table, or in the classroom, in a way which hides the worst side of their face. Choosing home delivery over going out to eat with friends. Choosing not to apply for a desirable job.  Not asking their crush out on a date, calling in sick to work or skipping classes - often to the point of failing.

QUOTE FROM AN ACNE FORUM:
"I've been battling cystic acne for over 10 years. My skin looks sooo disgusting today that I can't even get myself out the door to get food or go to class. There is nothing to eat in the refrigerator and I am sooo hungry, but even the thought of going through the drive thru is mortifying. I've been fighting this for over a decade and it's exhausting."

IN MANY CASES, EVEN AFTER THE ACNE HAS CLEARED AND THE COMPLEXION LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, THERE ARE THE EMOTIONAL SCARS OF ACNE THAT NEED TO BE HEALED. POST-TREATMENT COUNSELING HAS ENCOURAGED MANY OF OUR PATIENTS TO BLOSSOM INTO THE JOYFUL AND CONFIDENT BEINGS THEY WERE DESTINED TO BE.  TO SCHEDULE AN ACNE CONSULTATION CALL: (530) 503.9169

METHODS FOR TREATING ACNE SCARRING...

ACNE SCAR TREATMENT CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Certain skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation than others. If you fit into this category, getting an inflamed pimple typically results in hyperpigmention of the area, which leaves a reddish or brown mark referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Although, this is not considered to be a real "acne scar," for those of us who get them - they are very real! 

Fortunately, there are several methods of treating PIH. While lasers and pulsed light therapy can be highly effective, they are also pricey and usually require a series of treatments. Chemical peels also require a series, but are more affordable, and work wonders when used in conjunction with topical skincare products. Microdermabrasion, by itself - forget about it! Used in conjunction with other treatment modalities - beneficial.

POPCORN FOR A CLEAR COMPLEXION...

BEST ACNE PROTOCOLS CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Hurray for popcorn! This fun high fiber food helps keep the bowels clear by sweeping the walls of the colon. Once popped, toss in olive oil for a good healthy does of essential fatty acids. If you prefer butter, go organic as toxins are commonly stored in fat. A small pinch of sea salt and you've got yourself a treat that will satisfy your appetite and your complexion!
1 cup of plain popcorn = 30 calories.

If you're going to the movies, do your liver a solid, and pack your own popcorn!

**Never reheat popcorn that is coated in olive oil.
