We all want perfect skin. It’s possible that if we were to find a magic lamp with a genie one of our wishes would be to have clear glowing skin.
Unfortunately clear skin doesn’t come magically except for some people that just have to do anything and yet their skin pops all year long. Some of us aren’t that lucky, sigh....
One thing we battle with is acne and acne scars. Sometimes it may seem that just when our skin is getting better, boom! More acne! Could it be the skincare routine or the diet or mood? That’s one thing we gotta figure out. Oh hold up! You didn’t know your diet and mood affects your skin?? Well, now you know!
Here are ways to deal with those annoying acne scars that never seem to go away!
1. Wear sunscreen! When it comes to dealing with hyperpigmentation and acne scars, sunscreen is your best friend. Being exposed to the sun makes the skin produce more melanocytes thereby making those spots darker. So, first step to treating acne scars- SUNSCREEN!
2. Cleanse properly! When cleansing with our cleansers always follow the instructions on the label. Our liquid black soap wash is very effective for clearing acne scars. It contains about 1% Kojic acid which has been scientifically proven to help reduce appearance of dark spots.
3. Retinoids! Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A. They are very effective in treating acne scars because they fasten cell turnover making your skin renew itself in a shorter time.
4. Aloe Vera! Using products with aloe is another proven way of reducing acne scars. Look out for face moisturizers with aloe in them or use fresh aloe Vera gel directly on the problem areas and watch your skin clear up.
5. Niacinamide! When niacinamide is combined with retinoids they for a very formidable force that deals with both acne and acne scars. Include niacinamide in your regimen today and watch your skin go from zero to 100 in weeks! It’s not magic but it sure does work!
Hope these 5 tips will be useful in helping you get rid of acne scars. Cheers ?
