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. Certain individuals cannot tolerate benzoyl peroxide even at low concentrations, or retinoids at 0.1 percent.  The success of any acne treatment relies heavily using active ingredients that are compatible with the skin.

AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC, WE CUSTOMIZE ACNE TREATMENT PLANS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL SKIN TYPE AND ACNE TYPE. TO HAVE AN ACNE TREATMENT PLAN CUSTOMIZED JUST FOR YOU - PLEASE CALL THE CLINIC AND SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION. (530) 503.9169

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.

CONSULTATIONS FOR OUR ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC.  OUR INTENSIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM ACHIEVES DESIRED RESULTS IN  3 TO 4 MONTHS.  (530) 503.9169

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.

CONSULTATIONS FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM ARE AVAILABLE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY FROM 8AM TO 8PM. PLEASE CALL US TODAY TO GET STARTED. (530) 503.9169

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

REMEDIES FOR ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Time to destress. People prone to acne can get instantaneous breakouts when they are under stress. Learning how to manage your stress is an important skill in the battle for clear skin! While these tips may seem obvious, many of us don't actually set aside time for relaxation.

2.) Take a long leisurely walk.
3.) Schedule a few hours over the weekend to take a long nap.
4.) Set aside 10 minutes a day for yoga or stretching.

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.
