HOW TO MINIMISE POST-ACNE DARK MARKS

Some people are genetically more susceptible to blemishes, and unwanted dark marks are more likely to resurface over time. They may also reappear in people who continue acne-triggering habits. To keep dark marks away, healthy lifestyle changes are required. Some of these include:

Healthy Diet: Ever heard the saying “you are what you eat”? Well, it’s true! Healthy skin starts from the inside out. Feed your skin with nourishing fresh food and avoid processed sugar that may trigger acne and blemishes.

Skin Care Routine: A good skin care routine starts with having the right face care products. Be mindful of the ingredients in your face care products to avoid chemicals that may aggravate your sensitive skin. Mild cleansers and skin-repairing creams and gels with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C help lighten blemished skin and boost collagen production for improved skin texture. Make sure that your skin is kept clean by washing it twice a day. Make-up and air pollution can lead to a build-up of dirt on your face and washing will take that dirt away. For deeper cleansing, exfoliate twice every week to scrub off any dirt that may still be on your skin. Most importantly, keep your hands off your face!

Plenty of Sleep: Add beauty sleep to your to-do list because your skin needs it and really benefits from it! Getting adequate rest helps your body rebuild its collagen and repair damage - all of which are essential for uneven skin tone treatment. With about seven to nine hours of sleep per night you’ll not only feel energised, but you’ll have skin that looks and feels more replenished and youthful.

Less Stress: The happier you are, the better your skin will look. That natural glow we all see and want comes from happy feelings. Of course, we can’t always be happy, but we can strive to reduce stress. Low stress levels will make you feel better and keep your hormones balanced—leaving you with smooth skin that has a radiant, natural glow. Try yoga, breathing exercises, or just good times spent with friends.

FAQ

WHAT HELPS POST-ACNE DARK MARKS GO AWAY?
A healthy lifestyle is the gateway to making blemishes go away. Consistently follow a face care routine that targets blemishes to give your skin that spotless look you desire! Match this up with a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and some physical time for even quicker results.

WHAT FOODS HELP CLEAR POST-ACNE DARK MARKS?
A healthy diet packed with acne-fighting properties will help you kick dark marks on your skin to the curb. Incorporate foods such as spinach, tomatoes, blueberries, whole-wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, turkey, pumpkin seeds, beans, salmon, and nuts into your diet for more blemish-free skin.

CAN POST-ACNE DARK MARKS BE REMOVED PERMANENTLY?
Most dark marks associated with acne and hyperpigmentation can fade over time with skin-care products that target such dark marks. Birthmarks may disappear over time, but others are permanent. Some other procedures to remove blemishes are microdermabrasion, laser therapy, chemical peels, or cryotherapy.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN POST-ACNE DARK MARKS AND PIGMENTATION?
Pigmentation is a type of dark mark. Blemishes are any dark marks on the skin. Pigmentation occurs due to the overproduction of melanocytes that show up on the surface of the skin as discoloration. Other types of dark marks are the ones caused by acne such as pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR ACNE ON THE FACE?
An overproduction of oil by the sebaceous glands can cause blemishes. This excess oil then mixes with dead skin cells, dirt or bacteria and results in pimples, pustules, blackheads, and whiteheads. The overproduction of melanocytes also leads to dark marks.

WHAT CAUSES A SUDDEN CHANGE IN SKIN TEXTURE?
Excessive build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, sun damage, genetics, and poor skin routine and diet can cause uneven skin texture.

CAN UNEVEN SKIN TEXTURE BE FIXED?
With proper treatment, uneven skin texture can be smoothened out. A good face care routine is essential to lightening blemishes and revealing more radiant skin. Start with a gentle exfoliator and moisturise skin with blemish-targeting serums.
