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.

916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR CYSTIC ACNE. TO LEARN MORE, YOU MAY CONTACT THE CLINIC & SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE EXPERT. (530) 503.9169

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
