MANAGING ACNE WITH VITAMIN B...

TREATMENT FOR ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

One of the top acne triggers is STRESS!

Stress targets the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. Any type of stress, be it emotional or physical, triggers an adrenal response. When they adrenal glands run out of gusto they rely on many different nutrients to run at optimal levels. One major key player in adrenal health is the vitamin B family. This vitamin complex is often referred to as a stress B complex because it functions to manage stress by helping to fuel the adrenal glands. B vitamins are water soluble, which means what your body doesn't use, it excretes. B complex should be taken earlier in the day with food.

If you are under stress and suffering from acne, a B complex vitamin is a simple step you can take to help you manage your stress, and get you one step closer to managing your acne. Visit the Livestrong website for a list of foods rich in B vitamins.

DON'T GO FOR THE BURN!

ALTERNATIVE ACNE PROGRAM CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

DON'T GO FOR THE BURN!  Time after time, patients tell me they feel like a product is really working when they can feel the burn. I am here to tell you - the burn WILL NOT get you clear!

If an acne product burns or leaves your skin red - it is an indicator that it is not the product for you. Burning irritates the skin, which leads to excessive dryness, which in turn can lead to more breakouts.  Excessively dry skin lacks the moisture it needs to effectively heal and rebuild skin.

What works for one person doesn't always work for the other. Your acne products should be selected specifically for your skin type and your type of acne.

THE ART OF POPPING A PIMPLE

ALTERNATIVE ACNE TREATMENT CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


An important tip for acne sufferers - DON'T POP PIMPLES!

It is better to leave them untouched and allow your body to heal on its own. Believe it or not, there is a technique to popping zits the right way. Doing it incorrectly will likely cause skin discoloration and scarring. Yet still, most acne sufferers can't resist the urge because they think that popping the zit will get rid of it quicker - even when past experience has taught them otherwise. The effects of popping pimples can last much longer and be more difficult to get rid of than if you were to just leave it alone. Professional treatment prepares the skin for extractions, and your skin practitioner will use proper techniques to avoid scarring and promote the healing process.

Make Your Sunscreen Work Harder...

MAKE YOUR SUNSCREEN WORK HARDER!

Sunscreens with anti-oxidants give you added protection from the oxidizing and aging effects of free radicals emitted from UV rays. Anti-oxidants like green tea extract, milk thistle, caffeine, l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and tocopherols (vitamin E) can go a long way in preserving your skin's integrity, and will help prevent hyperpigmented acne scarring, known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Anti-oxidants also provide an added layer of protection against environmental pollutants, wiping them out before they damage your skin.

Acne & Subconscious Picking...

TOP ACNE TREATMENT  AT 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CENTER CHICO

There is INTENSIONAL PICKING: "I have got to pop that zit before I leave the house."

AND

There is SUBCONSCIOUS PICKING: "la-la-la...         I have no idea I'm destroying my skin right now."

While both forms of picking are equally difficult to control, subconscious picking is a tricky one because you don't even realize that you are doing it!  It helps if you have a trusted friend, partner, co-worker, or family member in which you can confide. By giving them permission to tell you to "STOP PICKING" you will eventually begin to catch yourself in the act and learn to control this behavior. Picking usually makes acne lesions look worse, and can cause hyperpigmentation, acne scarring including deep pit marks.
