You may be past your awkward teen years, but your body may not have gotten the memo.
Many people have remaining marks from the acne years, but it doesn’t have to follow you into your adult years. Here are a few tips and ideas to get rid of acne scars and their lingering dark marks.
Your face is one of the first things that you show people everyday. It can be a first impression, a confident deal closer, or even a friendly face to brighten someone else’s day. Pimples and other face blemishes can be a damper on your image and even cause some anxiety and shyness. But fear not, there is a fix for even the worst acne reminders.
The first step is to identify what is an acne scar and what is just a dark spot or acne mark. Acne marks are nothing more than a raised spot that represents the healing of the previous acne spots. This inflammation prevents your body from healing naturally and leaves you with a dark spot. If it is an acne mark, you are in luck, as they will go away naturally in just a few months. Acne scaring, on the other hand, is permanent and results from the way your face naturally healed during the acne outbreak.
To treat and minimize the effects of acne marks, make sure you are applying plenty of sunscreen as the sun can actually inflame your acne and acne marks, increasing the healing time. Another tip is to take advantage of the natural healing power of vitamin C which can help speed the healing process.
Other more evasive tips include chemical peels and even microneedling, which can help minimize the damage caused by acne. Chemical peels help by removing dead skin cells and reinvigorating you face for a more toned look. Others look to microneedling for its collagen production boost. Either way, don’t give up.
