ALEX'S ACNE STORY.

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

I had acne since I was 12 and it seemed as I got older it got worse. I was resistant to taking dermatologist prescribed acne medications and harsh endocrine disrupting chemical serums, but I knew I needed to get a handle on my skin before it was too late to reverse the damage the acne had done to my skin. I knew Tatja before she started her acne clinic and trusted in her ability and knowledge of skin care. I was nervous about starting the program because I didn’t know if I would be able to follow the skin care steps and keep up appointments at the clinic, but Tatja made it all so easy. After 2 weeks, my skin felt and looked better. Within 3 months my skin had cleared up. I was so worried that I would have scars from my acne, but as I continue to follow the treatment plan that Tatja customized for me - my skin becomes softer, smoother, and healthier.

FIGHTING BLACKHEADS WITH BEETLES...

BEST BLACKHEAD TREATMENT CHICO     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Just when I thought I'd heard it all, an acne client told me that there's a certain type of beetle that will feed on the dead skin and the oil from your pores. I'm not sure where this is practiced, but I suppose it's possible considering snails are used for facial treatments in some areas.

While this makes a great story to write home about, there is a much more effective way to get rid of blackheads and acne, which doesn't include beetles crawling over your face slurping up oil!

BEWARE OF UV RAYS GRASSHOPPER...

ACNE PREVENTION IN CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

The signs of aging begin to show on the skin as early as your twenties.  So why not begin taking precautions now?

The most effective and affordable anti-aging product you can invest in is a professional broad spectrum sunscreen. Look for at least an 18% zinc oxide, offered by dermatology centers, medical spas and acne clinics. The most important step you can take to slow the aging process of the skin is completely free! Limit your exposure to early morning or early evening sun. Although, UV light plays an important role in the synthesis of vitamin D, that doesn't mean those UV rays need to bounce all over your youthful face, casting their spell of dark spots, acne marks and skin cancer.

Exfoliating ingredients typically found in acne care products make skin more vulnerable to the sun, which also makes it more susceptible to acne scarring and the signs of aging. Protect your youth, protect yourself!

SINUS INFECTIONS & BREAKOUTS...

CURE FOR BREAKOUTS IN CHICO, CA         916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

The skin is an elimination organ that helps dispose of toxins and wastes so some acne-prone peeps may experience inflamed breakouts across their nose and sinuses when they have a sinus infection. The physiological stress of a sinus infection may also contribute to breakouts.  Stress wears many masks and most people don't realize that a weakened immune system is a form of stress.

PIMPLES OR COLD SORES...

TREATMENT FOR PIMPLES AUBURN, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Some cold sores are not restricted to the mouth. They spread to other areas of the face and may resemble pimples or tiny pustules. If these acne-like lesions respond to the supplement Lysine (an amino acid), your lesions may actually be cold sores. Although, this is not common, we do see this at the acne clinic from time to time.

Those who struggle with acne often manage their acne better by avoiding all dairy products. Dairy is a rich source of Lysine, and avoiding it, may make you more prone to cold sores if you carry the herpes virus. To compensate for this lack of Lysine, consume other foods rich in this amino acid or try Lysine supplementation.

A PEANUT TO STOP PICKING...

ACNE CLINICS NEAR WEST SACRAMENTO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

How do you get a teenager to stop picking at acne? Most of the time, they don't even realize they're doing it. They do it while they're watching TV or homework. The problem is, telling them not to do, anything, will make them do the exact opposite.

Nicole and her daughter, Tazneem, came up with a code word, "peanut." Every time her mom saw her picking, her mom would say "peanut." Tazneem, wanting to stop picking but not knowing how, was receptive to this because she didn't feel like her mom was controlling her.

THOSE TINY LITTLE CRACKS...

CONTROL BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Weather changes and a dry climate can create microfissures or tiny cracks in the skin, undetectable by the human eye. Water within the skin evaporates through these microfissures and the skin becomes dehydrated. This can make the skin more prone to redness, irritation and even acne. You need a product that introduces water binding ingredients into the skin and another product that seals the skin and locks in moisture to help control breakouts.

THE ACNE SPECIALISTS IN CHICO CALIFORNIA ARE HERE TO HELP. OUR ACNE PROGRAM IS FOR ALL AGES AND FOR ALL TYPES OF ACNE.

WILL COCONUT OIL CLOG MY PORES...

ACNE CLINICS CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Coconut oil has many nourishing benefits both internally and externally, but for those prone to acne, coconut oil can lead to major congestion of the pores when it it used topically. Although, it can be used on areas of the skin that aren't acne-prone, its affinity for clogging pores makes it a poor choice if you are prone to breakouts.

WHY RETINOIDS FOR ACNE...

HELP FOR ACNE IN OROVILLE, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Why retinoids for acne? For starters, retinoids are a topical form of vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in foods like carrots, spinach and kale.Vitamin A is one of the top anti-acne ingredients recommended by acne specialists. In order to decongest the skin, acneic skin needs help shedding. The main function of a retinoid is cell turnover, meaning shedding, where old cells are replaced by young, fresh, healthy cells. When the right retinoid is used in combination with the correct acne skincare system, not only does acne clear, but skin discoloration and acne scars soften, and fine lines fade.

WHICH RETINOID IS RIGHT FOR YOUR ACNE? THIS IS WHERE THE HELP OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST COMES INTO PLAY. CALL 916SKIN TO SCHEDULE A SKINCARE ASSESSMENT: (530) 503.9169 

ACNE SCARRING & UVA RAYS...

ACNE SCAR REVISION CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Plant this image in your brain: blotchy leathery skin, wrinkles and skin cancer. This is what can happen when you don't wear sunscreen - even on rainy days. A rainy day is not a free pass to skip sunscreen. If you are using exfoliating agents like those found in acne products, take even greater precautions because these types of acne care products make your skin much more sensitive to the sun's UV rays.

UVA rays are powerful enough to penetrate glass, clouds and certain clothing. They also penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, causing increased acne scarring as well as potential cell death and mutations. Using acne skincare products can do more harm than good if you don't take precautions - so lather up with sunscreen even on those rainy days. Apply sunscreen before you hop in the car, at the office if you sit near a window, and always reapply your sunscreen throughout the day.

'TIS THE SEASON FOR BREAKOUTS...

ACNE PREVENTION CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

'Tis the season to eat pie! It seems like pie eating season begins in November and goes all the way through December with a simple shrug of the shoulder and the justification-one-liner, "'tis the season."

If you have acne, this seasonal sugar over dose can be a major set back for your skin. Here's a few quick tips. Choose tart pie over sweet. Small piece over large. Eaten after a meal of vegetables and protein to slow sugar absorption. Consider supplementing with chromium picolinate, magnesium, vitamin C and B complex whenever you have sweets.

FLABBY LEGS & ACNE...

BEST ACNE FACIALS IN CHICO         916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

The majority of our clients are in their mid 20s, suffering from acne, and some have what I call, flabby leg syndrome. You might expect to have flabby legs once you hit 50, but not in your 20s!

Low levels of vitamin B6 can result, not only, in acne, but also flabby legs. Certain types of birth control pills rob your body of vitamin B6 and folic acid - muscle building nutrients. So, no matter how hard you work out you can't seem to tone your muscles.

THE CLARISONIC FOR ACNE...

CLARISONIC ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Many clients ask "Can the Clarisonic be used on acne?" The answer is YES, YES, YES, but only if your acne is non-inflamed. Non-inflamed acne has no redness associated with it. In other words, whiteheads and blackheads are not red or pink. Non-inflamed acne typically feels grainy or rough to the touch. If this describes your acne, Clarisonic will make a good match for your skin!

Clarisonic Mia was retailing at $150 not too long ago, but with the newer models on the market, its price has dropped dramatically. Clarisonic Mia works just as well as other Clarisonic brushes for half the price. 916SKIN is offering the Mias for $99 throughout the holiday season!

TO ORDER YOUR MIA, PLEASE CALL, TEXT OR EMAIL. ACNE TREATMENT CONSULTATIONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE. (530) 680.2027 

I DO TOO HAVE ACNE...

NON-INFLAMED ACNE TREATMENT IN OROVILLE, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Some get frustrated because friends make remarks like "you don't have acne." While the comments are innocent, it is extremely irritating to the person that has been suffering for years with non-inflamed acne.

Non-inflamed acne consists mostly of blackheads and whiteheads that have no redness associated with them, and might be accompanied with non-inflamed pimples. This type of acne can be mild to severe. It is much easier to cover up than inflamed acne, but in fact, it's much more difficult to treat and takes much longer to recover from than inflamed acne.

Multiple professional grade exfoliating agents, both in-clinic and in-home, are required to get rid of non-inflamed acne. The clearing process generally takes 3 to 6 months for this type of acne.

ACNE SCARRING AND SPF...

BEST ACNE FACIALS IN CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Many acne skincare products are designed to slough the skin. If you are using a complete skin care system for acne, there are most likely several pieces within your system that work to exfoliate the skin and or make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.


When a pimple heals, certain skin types are more prone to developing dark spots. These dark spots, which many clients refer to as acne scars, can make the skin look worse. Using a sunscreen with zinc oxide (18% or greater) and reapplying it multiple times throughout the day will help prevent this type of pseudo acne scarring as well as skin cancer.

STINKY ZITS - PEE EW...

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

It's true, some zits stink. Typically, it's blackheads that can produce an odor. Just as the oil in your pantry can turn rancid so can the oil in your pores. Rancid oil can be an indicator of several things: blackheads that are old, lack of antioxidants and/or poor diet.

Blackheads will not go away on their own no matter how much you rub and scrub. Getting rid of blackheads requires treatment in combination with the correct products for your skin and acne type.

HOW TO STOP KIDS FROM PICKING AT ZITS...

ACNE FACIAL CHICO       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

At only 11 years old, my friend's daughter has begun having breakouts on the forehead. She, like many others, is obsessed with picking her whiteheads. As a result, her forehead is covered in tiny scabs and she has already developed the early stages of acne scars.

My friend came up with the BRILLIANT idea of making her daughter wear a giant band aid on her forehead if she didn't quit picking. Not only does it keep her from picking at her face, but she is mortified to be wearing a huge band aid right smack in the middle of her forehead; a serious motivator to stop picking!

AN ACIDIC DIET & ACNE...

ACNE FACIAL CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Clear acne-free skin relies heavily on an alkalizing diet. The lettuce, tomato and onion on your hamburger do not meet the required amount of vegetables for the day. Many foods and beverages lead to over acidity in the body. Many of these foods may be healthful, but when consumed in the absence of enough vegetables, they cause problems. To keep the body's pH in balance, eat an abundance of vegetables at every meal. Try for at least one large salad every day. Replace sodas, fruit juice drinks and coffee with lemon water or green tea. Eliminate processed foods. Replace refined sugars and desserts with alkalizing fruits.

BAR SOAP ON ACNE...

BEST PRODUCTS TO PREVENT BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

People often ask, "is it alright to use bar soap on acne?"  
This is a big "HELL NO!"

Bar soap is alkaline, which means it's the opposite of your skin's acidic pH. Alkalinity invites bacteria, over dries the skin and can trigger inflammatory reactions when combined with acidic ingredients that are designed to target acne. All of these factors only make acne worse.

There are many types of cleansers, and using the proper cleanser can make the difference between happy skin and angry skin. Seek the guidance of an acne specialist to find out which acne products are best for you.

WHAT IS A BLACKHEAD...

BLACKHEAD TREATMENTS IN CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

A blackhead is a clogged pore, in which the oil and dead skin cells trapped within the pore have become oxidized. The impaction turns dark much like an apple turns brown when it is cut in half and exposed to air. Blackheads are typically stubborn to remove, but with the correct combination of exfoliating agents such as scrubs, cleansing brushes, professional strength hydroxy acids as well as acne peels, blackheads can be eliminated.

THE HEALING POWER OF BONE BROTH...

ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS THAT WORK     916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE 

Healing breakouts and repairing your skin relies on proper nutrition. Quality, nutrient dense foods fuel your skin and help speed recovery.

Bone broth is known for its healing properties. Bone marrow found at the core of the bone is a source of alkaline rich fat loaded with an abundance of nutrients that help heal acne and rejuvenate skin.  In order to reap the benefits of bone marrow, bones from grass fed beef must be simmered for 12 to 15 hours or until the bones are completely broken down and the fat is expelled. This gelatinous fatty substance of the broth is literally a miracle food. It is well known for its healing effects on numerous gut associated disorders, including those that result in psoriasis, eczema, acne and rosacea.

Toxins are stored in the body's fatty tissue - like bone marrow. To minimize toxins, always choose organic grass fed meat and poultry.

ACNE REGIMEN BEFORE WORKING OUT...

TREATMENTS FOR PROBLEM SKIN RED BLUFF, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC  

If you work out first thing in the morning, there's no need to do your full skincare regimen before your workout. Simply cleanse your face and put on your sunscreen. Even if you are only driving to the gym, put on your sunscreen! Do your complete acne skincare regimen after your workout.

Skin often becomes irritated when freshly applied, acne-targeting ingredients mix with sweat. Also, you want to apply your products when they can be left on the skin for at least 4 hours - better for your skin, better for your bank account.

WILL AN ACNE FACIAL GET ME CLEAR...

ACNE FACIAL IN CHICO, CA         916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

While "acne facials" is popular search term, a facial will not do much to clear up acne. Acne requires a more aggressive and comprehensive approach. Still, we often refer to it as an "acne facial" to get your attention so we can then point you in the right direction.

If you would like to clear your acne, then what you need is an "acne treatment" and you will want to see a specialist to find out what type of treatment will be most effective. Acne treatments can vary from person to person depending on the type of acne, degree of acne, sensitivity level, skin type and other existing skin conditions. An acne specialist will let you know what type of treatment is necessary and how long it will take to get clear.

MICRODERMABRASION FOR ACNE...

ACNE FACIALS CHICO      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Microdermabrasion for acne can be beneficial for grainy, non-inflamed acne types, but non-inflamed acne often responds best to chemical peels and combination therapy. At the acne clinic, we use microdermabrasion on oilier skin types that are experiencing extreme dryness. Removing the upper portion of the stratum corneum and introducing nutrients and water binding agents to hydrate and heal overly dry skin is often an excellent choice for those who are candidates for microdermabrasion.

ACNE FACIALS IN CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Dermatologists often prescribe antibiotics for acne, but rarely recommend the much needed probiotics to accompany or follow such acne treatments. Antibiotics kill off the bad guys as well as the good guys. The good guys are the helpful bacteria that keep your gut healthy and in balance. A steady population of good bacteria are crucial for proper digestion, gut integrity, and just as important... the health of your skin!

BREAKOUTS FROM TOUGH MUDDER (PART 2)

TREATMENTS FOR ACNE YUBA CITY, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Even the worst acne flare-ups following the Tough Mudder are not caused by mud lodged in the pores. Mud does not cause acne. These post-breakouts are likely the result of physical stress placed on the body during the challenge. Stress, whether it be physical or emotional, acute or chronic, taxes the adrenal glands and can lead to breakouts in those who are prone to acne. Stress-B complex and vitamin C taken throughout the course of stress can help support the adrenal cascade and keep breakouts under control.

TREATMENTS FOR BREAKOUTS FOLSOM, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

If you want to get down and dirty at the Tough Mudder, but are afraid that the dirt, mud and sludge will cause breakouts, put your mind at ease! Dirt does not cause breakouts, but for the  acne prone peeps, bacteria trapped under a layer of oil - does. As with any intense workout that makes you sweat & grease-up, wash your face immediately after. At the very least, splash some water on your face and wipe off any oil residue with Yes To Aloe wet wipes (non-pore clogging). Once you hit the shower, do a double cleanse on your acne-prone areas, sixty seconds each, and you'll be good to go!

WILL SNAILS HELP MY ACNE...

HELP MY ACNE AUBURN, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

In Japan, snail extracts are a popular application for acne facials. Although, this anti-oxidant rich slime won't get rid of acne, it does help speed the healing process of overly dry and irritated acne skin. Snail-extract based serums, stimulate the growth of the skin's cellular matrix. Within this matrix, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans bind water, which hydrates the skin and helps promote an environment for the rebuilding and healing process.

DO I NEED A MEDICATED CLEANSER FOR MY ACNE...

SHOP ACNE CLEANSER IN CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Medicated cleansers are most commonly medicated with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, but glycolic, lactic and mandelic acids are other types of active ingredients used in medicated acne formulations.

How do you know which cleanser is right for your skin? It's tricky, and this is where an acne specialist comes into play. It's important to know which of the above ingredients your skin responds best to. Not everyone responds well to salicylic, which is in a majority of over-the-counter acne products. Benzoyl peroxides can over-dry the skin causing further set backs.

An acne specialist determines which products benefit your acne the most with the least amount of irritation. An acne specialist takes into consideration - acne type, severity of acne, skin type, degree of sensitivity and the current condition of your skin. Is the barrier in tact or compromised? Something as simple as using the right acne cleanser can help turn your skin around.

ACNE CLEANSERS - HARSH ON THE EYES...

ACNE PRODUCTS GRASS VALLEY, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Acne patients often ask "can I use my acne cleanser to remove my eye makeup?" Well, it depends on the cleanser. Medicated cleansers typically contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which will suck the oil right out of this delicate tissue. Generally speaking, gentle cleansers or sensitive skin cleansers tend to be alright around the eyes. BUT, you can do better than alright by using an eye makeup remover that is specifically formulated for the eye area.

WHICH ACNE TONER IS RIGHT FOR ME...

ACNE PRODUCTS IN GRASS VALLEY    916SKIN ACNE CLINIC

The purpose of a toner is to enhance the penetration of your acne products. Ingredients like mandelic, salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids can help get rid of acne, but they're not as effective if they sit at the surface of the skin. An acidic-based toner drops the pH of the skin, encouraging product penetration and optimizing the active ingredients of your acne products.

ABOUT YOUR ACNE...

TREATMENTS FOR ACNE VULGARIS CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Acne, acne vulgaris, retention hyperkeratosis - same thing.  Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease worldwide. Approximately 80% of all adolescents will get acne at some point in their young lives. In some cases, the breakouts will continue into adulthood. Due to genetics, acne tends to run in families. The degree of acne can range from mild breakouts to severe acne. Even a mild breakout is classified as acne. Males and females are affected by acne equally, but males are prone to more severe cases. Individuals with a genetic predisposition are easily affected by a number of other factors that contribute to the development of acne. These may include bacteria, excessively oily skin, delayed skin shedding, skin-lipid deficiencies, certain medications and/or chemicals that come in contact with the skin, local friction (pressure) on the skin's surface as well as a variety of physiological factors including stress, hormonal imbalances, PCOD, digestive disorders, food allergies & sensitivities and poor detoxification pathways. Acne can't be cured, but it can be managed - and managed well.

SUNSCREEN FOR ACNE - EVEN INDOORS (PART 2)...

NATURAL ACNE REMEDIES OROVILLE, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Using acne skincare products makes skin more vulnerable to skin cancer and accelerated aging as well as acne breakouts.

Sunscreen is important weather you are inside or outside, but it's especially important if you spend even the shortest amount of time outdoors. People often have different ideas of what it means to be outdoors. And that running errands, dashing in and out of your car and into buildings does not count as being outdoors. Oh, but it does! The following are examples of being outdoors:

- Being in school all day. You still have to go outside when you walk to your classes. And, don't forget about the reflective rays during the drive, or the direct exposure if you walked or rode your bike to school.

- Working inside all day. You get sun exposure on your drive to and from work, at lunch time if you go out for lunch or sit outside - even if it's in the shade.

- Running errands. Even short bursts of sunlight can damage your skin. Also, there are reflective rays while driving.

It only takes 10 SECONDS of sun exposure for a brown spot to form subsurface in the skin. If you want to have have healthy, youthful, clear skin - REAPPLY SUNSCREEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY!

ACNE SKIN PRODUCTS OROVILLE, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Many acne patients ask me, "do I have to reapply my sunscreen even if I'm indoors?"  The answer is yes.

#1) UVA rays bounce off cars, streets, rocks, patios and THROUGH windows.

#2) Fluorescent light and other types of indoor lighting emit small amounts of UVA, which may not sound like a big deal, but when you're exposed to it on a daily basis it will eventually take its toll on your skin. Especially, if you work in an environment that has a lot of fluorescent lighting.

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH - HOLD THE DAIRY

ACNE SKIN CONSULTATION OROVILLE, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

There are many tactics to get rid of your acne. First, start by cutting out the dairy. This can be a difficult food to cut out, especially for cheese & mayo lovers, but eliminating dairy has a significant effect on many of our acne patients. If avoiding dairy seems unrealistic, start slowly. Limit your intake of dairy to every other day for 2 weeks. Then, cut back to every 3 days for 2 weeks and so on. It gets much easier once you have found some replacement foods. Hummus makes a great mayo substitute!

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH - HOLD THE DAIRY:

- Boneless chicken

- Chicken broth 

- Cherry tomatoes

- Diced bell pepper

- Diced red onion 

- Baby peas

- Hummus

- Salt & pepper

If using rotisserie chicken skip the broth. When baking chicken, pour broth over breasts, cover and bake on 350 for 25 - 30 minutes. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix.

ACNE AND CHOCOLATE CRAVINGS...

TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC



Cravings for chocolate around the the time of your menses is your body's cry for magnesium. Chocolate does not trigger breakouts, but any sugar withing the chocolate will. If you are prone to acne breakouts, reach for, at least, the 70% dark chocolate. Instead of wolfing down the entire bar, limit yourself to a couple of squares. If you have the option, unalkalized is always preferable to alkalized chocolate.

SKIN CARE ROUTINE ON ROAD TRIPS...

SKIN CARE TREATMENTS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

I'm on a 10 day road trip up the Oregon coast - camping. Camping in my situation means living out of my van, often staying in remote places with no running water. Day 8 offered the luxury of a Safeway parking lot, which provides access to clean restrooms 24/7. I emphasize "luxury" because it's the only opportunity I've had to wash my face with ahhhhhh - warm water.

A successful acne regimen is dependent upon consistency - consistently doing your skincare regimen every morning and every night. This presents many challenges when you're camping or on a road trip. Especially if it's cold. Just know, if you don't stick to your routine - you will notice changes in your skin texture almost immediately and you will likely experience breakouts.

TIPS:
- If you refuse to wash your face, use your toner repeatedly until the cotton round is clean. Ten times if that's what it takes.

- Use your actives. At the very minimum use your exfoliating serum (salicylic, mandelic or glycolic acid).

- Ease up on the topical vitamin A (retinoid, renova, tretinoin, etc.), using it every other night or every third night if you are getting more sun exposure than usual.

- Apply your sunscreen fanatically, every hour if necessary as sun exposure will likely increase your chances of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This refers to red or brown spots left on the skin after a pimple heals.

COFFEE ON YOUR ROAD TRIP...

HELP FOR ACNE IN EL DORADO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Who can resist a coffee when they're on a road trip? 
I like to use the word "a" in front of "coffee" because it helps describe a delightful ritual in which to anticipate and savor. But be warned, this heavenly ritualistic delight does cause acne flare-ups. The acne trigger is 3 fold. Caffeine. Dairy. Sugar. If you're going to have a coffee, learn to love it black and decaffeinated. Or with stevia. The other option is a soy milk or almond milk latte with no syrups, sugar or honey. Your adrenal glands and skin will thank you!

HARDEST TYPE OF ACNE TO TREAT...

TYPES OF ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Non-inflamed acne, although not as visible, is the most difficult type of acne to treat. Non-inflamed acne, specifically, Grade II acne, consists of blackheads, whiteheads and small pustules. Although Grade II is generally classified as non-inflamed acne, the beginning stages of inflammation may be present on the lesions. Grade II acne makes the skin feel bumpy and grainy. This type of acne requires massive exfoliation in the form of hydroxy acids and other professional peeling agents. Clearing non-inflamed acne typically takes 3 to 4 months. However, with the proper systems in place and a lot of patience, you WILL get clear.




ACNE CARE IS AVAILABLE AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC. WE TREAT ALL TYPES OF ACNE INCLUDING SEVERE CYSTIC ACNE WITHOUT THE USE OF PRESCRIPTION ACNE MEDICATIONS.

FOLATE DEFICIENCY...

NATURAL ACNE REMEDIES OROVILLE, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Do you have a folate deficiency?
Dark brown spots on the skin can be the result of a folate deficiency. Most common areas are the palms and soles of the feet. Once your folate levels return to normal, the dark patches should disappear in 2 to 3 months or less. Folic acid is the synthetic compound found in many nutritional supplements. Problem is, some people can't metabolize the synthetic version and end up with a deficiency. If you think this might be the case, eating foods rich in folate is generally the best solution, or take a nutritional supplement derived from tetrahydrofolate. 



GETTING RID OF ACNE, MEANS OPTIMIZING NUTRITION. CONSUMING A NUTRIENT DENSE DIET PACKED FULL OF ORGANIC WHOLE FOOD ENCOURAGES THE SKIN TO HEAL, REJUVENATE & GLOW!
