TURN DOWN THE HEAT FOR INFLAMED ACNE...

TOP TREATMENT FOR INFLAMED ACNE     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Turn down the heat. A piping hot shower may be a great way to relax, but for those with inflamed acne, it will only set you back.

The first step in treating inflamed acne is to eliminate the redness associated with inflamed acne lesions and the skin that surrounds it.  This includes acne products that burn and irritate the skin, intense exercise, saunas, hot tubs, piping hot showers and anything else that causes the skin to be inflamed.

In an attempt to cool the body, blood vessels dilate allowing more blood and heat to the skin's surface. This response only exacerbates redness. To help put out the fire, choose warm showers over hot, and ice inflamed acne 2 to 3 times a day for 3 to 5 minutes.

TO LEARN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY TREAT INFLAMED ACNE, CHECK OUT OUR PERSONALIZED ACNE TREATMENT PLANS - OFFERED ONLY AT 916SKIN ACNECLINIC.

ALOE VERA FOR ACNE...

ACNE CONTROL PRODUCTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Dry skin is prone to pimples. First you get dry, then your skin gets irritated and inflamed, then... boom! You breakout. Putting moisture back into the skin can help prevent dry skin breakouts and gives the skin a chance to heal itself. Try using aloe vera directly from the plant to avoid any pore clogging ingredients that might be lurking in the gel. During the dry season, apply an aloe mask every night before bed.

ORDER OF THE ALOE MASK:
-Cleanser
-Toner
-Aloe Vera Gel (thin layer over entire face)
-Let it absorb into the skin (5 to 15 minutes)
-Apply moisturizer

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT OUR ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE BY SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE SKINCARE SPECIALIST. (530) 503.9169

DOES SUN MAKE ACNE WORSE...

ACNE SOLUTIONS RED BLUFF, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Sunlight acts as an irritant to follicles (pores). Comedonal acne, especially blackheads can increase in number, size and redness when exposed to sunlight, and affects some individuals more than others.


Some say their skin starts to clear when they are in the sun. This may be true to some degree due to the sun's ability to peel the skin. But, it is ineffective and the detrimental repercussions of sun damage will follow for years to come.


Try the following tips for sun induced acne:
-Limit your sun exposure
-Always choose early morning and evening sun over peak sun hours
-Apply sunscreen liberally
-Reapply sunscreen hourly when in the sun
-Apply sunscreen immediately after swimming
-Where protective hats
-Find shade

ROYAL JELLY ACNE SOLUTION...

NATURAL ACNE SOLUTIONS GRASS VALLEY, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Royal jelly is a food made by worker-honey bees and fed to the developing queen bee larvae. This food is a very rich source of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), and is beneficial in supporting the adrenal cascade, which allows the body to manage stress, and therefore, acne.

PRECAUTIONS :
Royal jelly should be eaten intermittently or on a rotational basis. Royal jelly interacts with the drug Coumadin.  It can lead to increased thinning of blood, which may cause increased bruising or bleeding.

916SKIN PROVIDES PERSONALIZED ACNE THERAPY FOR MODERATE-SEVERE ACNE. ON AVERAGE, PATIENTS ARE 90% TO 100% FREE OF ACNE AFTER 3 TO 4 MONTHS OF TREATMENT. CALL THE ACNE CLINIC TO SCHEDULE YOUR SKIN CARE CONSULTATION. (530) 503.9169

SHAVING TIP FOR ACNE...

ACNE FACIAL TREATMENT CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Avoid the burn.  Give yourself at least 60 minutes after shaving before putting on your acne products.

Acne products contain active ingredients that are typically designed to exfoliate the skin. "Actives" often sting and cause redness when they are applied too quickly after shaving.  This in part, is due to a shift in pH - from shaving cream, which is usually alkaline, to "actives," which are usually acidic. Next time you shave, give your skin 60 minutes to recover. If it still burns , give it 90 minutes the next time around.

ACNE IS NOT CURABLE, BUT IT IS TREATABLE. WITH THE GUIDANCE OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST, YOU CAN HAVE CLEAR SKIN IN APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 16 WEEKS. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR TREATMENT PROGRAM BY SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION.  (530) 503.9169

IS MICRODERMABRASION FOR ME...

As an acne treatment, it can be beneficial for non-inflamed acne, but is most effective when used in combination with other treatment modalities.

~Those with inflamed acne

ALKALIZE YOUR ACNE...

ACNE FACIAL TREATMENTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

The success of our acne treatment program relies on nutrition as much as proper skincare products. Healing acne demands an alkalizing diet to quench the inflammation. Most of the foods consumed in the Standard American Diet (SAD) are acidic. These include foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, pasta, breads, pastries, most grains, and of course, sugar. Foods that form acid in the body need to be balanced out with an abundance of alkaline forming foods. Alkalizing foods are typically vegetables and fruits, but careful, some of them are acid forming. Get yourself a quick reference guide to learn which foods provide the most alkalizing benefits.

ALKALINE SMOOTHIE FOR ACNE:
2 (packed) cups of fresh or frozen spinach
Handful of fresh or frozen pineapple
Handful of fresh soybeans
Micro slice of lemon with peel
Tablespoon of chia seed
Pinch of Stevia
Pinch of unrefined sea salt
Almond milk (unsweetened, raw is best) or water
Blend to smooth perfection!!!

*Wait 1 hour before consuming anything else.

MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR, MANAGE ACNE...

ACNE SYSTEMS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC



Help manage acne by managing blood sugar. Although controlling acne relies on many factors, learning how to control your blood sugar is an important step in healing acne.

The Glycemic Index, also known as GI, is a measure of how fast a specific food raises blood sugar. Consuming foods and beverages that are low on the GI scale can help keep blood sugar in check. A low GI can mean better control over breakouts.

There are plenty of books available on the topic of Glycemic Index, and pocket guides for a quick reference. The system was originally intended to help people with diabetes. The Glycemic Index has gained world wide recognition, and with its momentum, it has become well known that a low GI diet has many health benefits. A low GI load can help improve cholesterol and cardiovascular health. It can also help prevent weight gain, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, specific cancers and a variety of other conditions.

OUR ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM COMBINES TOPICAL TREATMENT MODALITIES WITH NUTRITION. THE ACNE CLEARING PROCESS TAKES 3 TO 4 MONTHS, SOMETIMES LONGER FOR MORE STUBBORN ACNE. CONSULTATIONS WITH A SPECIALIST CAN BE MADE BY CALLING 916SKIN AT: 530.503.9169

CUT DAIRY NOT CALCIUM...

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



Cut dairy not calcium. Those who are prone to acne commonly find that their complexion improves when they cut all dairy from their diet. A 6 week elimination diet is typically long enough to determine if dairy is an acne aggravator - for you.

When cutting out dairy, make sure to get plenty of calcium-rich foods in your diet. Many of today's nut and rice milks are fortified with calcium to provide similar key nutrients to those found in milk.


GOOD SOURCES OF CALCIUM:
Watercress, Curly Kale, Collard Greens, Chinese Cabbage (Bok Choy), Broccoli, Okra, Green Beans, Figs, Almonds, Sardines (packed with bones).

916SKIN CAN HELP CLEAR YOUR ACNE. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COMPREHENSIVE & CUSTOMIZED APPROACH TO TREATMENT BY SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST.   (530) 503.9169
