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...

ACNE SKIN CARE PROGRAM CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

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.

Green Tea For Clear Skin and Healthy Heart

ACNE SKINCARE PROGRAM IN CHICO, CA AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

GREEN TEA. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY. 
Green tea packs a powerful polyphenolotic punch, which launches free radicals into the arms of antioxidants. According to laboratory studies, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the super antioxidants of green tea, is known to knock out inflammation and destroy cancer cells. Drinking green tea is associated with a reduced risk of several types of cancer and heart disease. Further more, controlled testing with healthy people shows that: 

2 CUPS A DAY: decreases measures of oxidative stress and DNA damage in blood. 

3 CUPS A DAY: reduces oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a significant factor in the development of heart disease. The beneficial effects of green tea are accompanied by decrease in inflammation of the arteries - another important factor in preventing heart disease. 

4 CUPS A DAY OF DECAFFEINATED GREEN TEA: produces significant antioxidant effects for cigarette smokers, whose bodies are exposed to greater oxidative stress than non-smokers.

Decreasing oxidative stress and reducing arterial inflammation not only promotes a healthy heart and body, but also healthy clear skin!

 2 CUPS A DAY OR MORE:  decreased incidence of heart attacks as well as lowers blood pressure more than people who do not drink tea.

REGULAR CONSUMPTION OF BLACK TEA helps reverse leukoplakia, a condition which is a precursor to oral cancer.
