Rubbing Alcohol for Acne... Seriously?

ACNE SKIN TREATMENT CHICO, CA    916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Angelina has oily skin, but do you think she uses rubbing alcohol on her face??? I don't think so!!!

Stripping your skin of oil triggers your sebaceous glands to produce even more oil in order to compensate for the loss. More oil can lead to more breakouts so put away the rubbing  alcohol!

Your skin is slightly acidic. Think - vinegar and oranges.  You want a cleanser, toner, and exfoliator that also have an acidic pH. Unfortunately, the term "pH balanced" doesn't hold much meaning with over-the-counter products. It is merely a marketing ploy.

Most dermatologists and skin care practitioners carry products that are formulated to compliment your skin's pH. For best results with your acne skin care products, see an Acne Specialist to have your acne evaluated. A skin evaluation helps ensure that you are sent home with the proper products for your acne.

Toxic Overload Can Trigger Acne...

916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC IN CHICO, CA   (530) 503.9169

• Your liver performs over 200 functions, including the removal of most drugs and chemicals from your bloodstream, and breaking them down to be quickly removed from your body. Breaking down toxic substances creates biproducts that can be extremely damaging to the liver. Although the liver has the ability to regenerate, constant exposure to toxic substances can cause a variety of skin conditions including acne, as well as serious, and sometimes irreversible damage.

The following substances can cause symptoms of toxic overload AND toxic hepatitis:

• Alcohol. Heavy drinking over many years can lead to symptoms of toxicity and eventually inflammation of the liver.
• Over-the-counter pain relievers. Non-prescription pain relievers such as naproxen (Aleve), acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others) can damage your liver, especially when taken frequently or taken with alcohol.
• Prescription medications. Medications associated with serious liver injury include isoniazid, alothane,  valproic acid (Depakene), azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran), phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek), iacin (Niaspan),  lovastatin (Mevacor), atorvastatin (Lipitor), pravastatin (Pravachol), simvastatin (Zocor), rosuvastatin (Crestor), fluvastatin (Lescol), ketoconazole, as well as certain antibiotics, antivirals and anabolic steroids.
• Herbal supplements. Herbs that are considered dangerous to the liver include cascara, chaparral, comfrey, kava and ephedra.
• Vitamin supplements. Children can develop inflammation of the liver of liver damage if they take large doses of vitamin supplements - often mistaken for candy.
• Industrial chemicals.  Common chemicals that can injur the liver include the dry cleaning solvent carbon tetrachloride, a substance used to make plastics called vinyl chloride, the herbicide paraquat and a group of industrial chemicals called polychlorinated biphenyls.

Chemical Peels for Treating Acne

ACNE SKIN REJUVENATION IN CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Chemical peels... sweeter than an orange!

Chemical peel treatments are one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures in the past five years. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 1.1 million procedures were performed in 2010. Chemical peels can be highly effective in treating acne when used in combination with the appropriate acne care products. Peels also give the added benefits of younger looking skin by improving or correcting skin tone, skin texture and fine lines. While skin peels address textural issues, true acne scarring often requires a variety of treatment modalities and more aggressive peeling techniques.

Chemical peels can greatly improve skin sagging and deep wrinkles when used in combination with lasers and injectables, however, they are not an effective tool when used alone.
