Nobody likes a face full of pimples but worse than that is acne scars. A pimple usually goes away in 3 to 4 days but acne scars live there forever.There are 3 types of acne scars you can have after pimples.and there are different solutions for that.
You need follow these steps to get rid of these stubborn scars
Vitamin C:
Vitamin C should be your best friend, because it lightens the skin tone. You should include vitamin c in your diet and should also apply on your skin.
You can apply lemon juice. Concentrated lemon juice may irritate your skin. You can dilute it with rose water or simple water.
Orange peel powder: It also has Vitamin C in it and is very helpful in removing dark spots. It is also useful in acne, blackheads,uneven skin tone . I personally use this one.
You can mix this powder with rosewater to make a paste and apply that paste on face until it dries.then wash your face with normal temperature water. You can use this mask for
4-5 days a week for best results.
Sun Protection(Read my detailed blog here )
Try to protect your face from sun. Sun can really make these scars worse. Apply sunscreen before leaving home.
You need to keep these things in mind before buying any sunscreen
1) SPF is important. It is sun protection factor. It is always good to use a sunscreen of 30 or above than that. I suggest using Lakme Sun Expert UV Lotion SPF 50++ . It does not feel oily on the skin.
2)it is important to see what skin type you have and buy sunscreen according to that. If you have oily skin you can buy gel based sunscreen or if you have dry skin you can use cream based sunscreen.
3) Always use sunscreen 15-20 minutes before going out in sun.
STEP 3)
DRINK 4-5 LITERS OF WATER PER DAY
You need to do this for sure. Water flushes out the toxins from the body and makes the skin clear.Try to drink as much water as you can.
STEP 4)
Do not squeeze the pimple it will make it worse. Let it take its time.
STEP 5)
keep your face clean: Wash your face thrice a day.People with oily skin can use foam based face wash and people with dry skin can use gel based face wash.
STEP 6
Exfoliate: Exfoliate your skin at least 4 times a week. it will help you to get rid of dead skin and will make your skin look lighter.
It's been 2 months that i am using these steps and dark spots are really fading. It just needs patience and care.
It is even worse. When pimples heal they leave slightly raised bump in that area.These scars are formed when body tries to heal from inflammation caused by acne.
It is very hard to cure that at home. Vitamin C can help but it will take lots of time may be more than a year. If you need good results you need to go to a dermatologist.They will do laser treatment or inject the bump with cortisone which will help the bump to dry and match the skin level.
I HOPE THIS HAS HELPED YOU. AND DON'T FORGET TO EAT HEALTHY. IF YOU ARE HEALTHY FROM INSIDE,YOU WILL LOOK HEALTHY FROM OUTSIDE TOO"
DISCOLORED ACNE SCAR
It is red, brown or purple mark that is left after the pimple. It is technically known as post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation. This discoloration will fade away with time but it can take years. I waxed my face because i have too much of facial hair. Then after a week pimples started to appear on my face and they left acne scars.You need follow these steps to get rid of these stubborn scars
