PROBIOTICS OR ANTIBIOTICS FOR ACNE...

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.

916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT PLANS ARE DESIGNED TO CLEAR UP MILD TO SEVERE ACNE BREAKOUTS IN 12 TO 16 WEEKS. FOR A SKIN EVALUATION: (530) 503.9169

BREAKOUTS FROM TOUGH MUDDER...

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!

ACNE MANAGEMENT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC. SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST TODAY. (530) 503.9169

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.

FOR HELP DETERMINING WHICH TONER AND ACNE PRODUCTS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU, SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION WITH ONE OF OUR ACNE SPECIALISTS.

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.
