Tricks to solve Acne Scars
Scars are caused by the skins tissue being damaged or lost. Acne scars develop as soon as you pop pimple or squeeze it out. Popping or squeezing results in a permanent mark at the affected area.
There are many removal techniques available, but I think anyone will agree that it is better to prevent than cure any disease. By taking control of acne early on we can minimize the risk of scars on our skin that can ruin your complexion.
You may use fresh juice of lemon and apply it mixed with rose water on the acne affected area for 15 days. Repeat this process at least four times a week and you will see a remarkable change in your skin structure. Another remedy is cucumber. Apply grated cucumber on the skin or the acne affected area. Put the cucumber juice on your face with cotton wool. This should be your daily regime during summers, helping cool off the skin and tighten the pores.
Another popular homemade remedy for removing acne marks into make
a paste of apple and honey. First, make apple paste and then add
about 4-6 drops of honey. Apply this mask on your face. Wash off
after 15 minutes. This paste helps tightening pores and also
makes complexion lighter.
How to prevent acne
We talked about acne scars and how can we get rid of those, but for moderate acne some simple tips can de useful. But even for this kind of acne you may need to consult a dermatologist first, because only a doctor can analyze several factors, including the severity of the acne, types of lesions present, taking into consideration as well the patient’s age, skin type, lifestyle and motivation.
A cleaning routine performed once or twice a day will help keep your skin clean and help prevent further breakouts. As bacteria are a common cause of acne, it’s essential to wash your hand and your face with an anti bacterial soap and using a mild bar soap or acne scrub or even benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid (not both at the same time!) if soap is not enough. However do not wash the affected area too frequently as it depletes skin oil. Washing usually clear up a lot of acne by ridding the face of excess oils, but over washing your face may dry it and will be produced more pore-clogging oil that could cause more acne.Consider that results will be evident after a few weeks. But if you do not notice an improvement after several weeks, contact your doctor for further advice!
Retin-A For Acne Scars
Many people, including dermatologists, are finding that Retin-A, which is often used to treat wrinkles, acne, and skin discolorations, is quite effective for the treatment of acne scars as well. The main ingredient in retin-a is tretinoin, which is the acid form of vitamin A. It works to improve abnormal cell production, often caused by sun damage.
For many, the use of retin-a for acne scars is producing
results within two weeks, and after a period of seven or
eight weeks of continuous use, acne scars are completely
gone, or greatly diminished to the point where they are
barely noticeable.
It is important that you discuss the possibility of using
retin-a for acne scars with your dermatologist, and that you
follow your doctor's directions precisely. Using the product
more often than recommended, in most cases, will not result
in better or faster results, but instead may cause further
skin problems, and side effects may be experienced.
Retin-a for acne scars is not taken orally. It is a topical
treatment, that is applied to the skin. There are possible
risks of birth defects to unborn babies, and therefore, even
though retin-a is applied to the skin, it is not recommended
for pregnant women. There have been no reports of problems
associated with retin-a and nursing
mothers, but again, since retin-a is absorbed through the skin, it is not recommended for nursing mothers.
