Clear Skin 101: Get Rid of Acne Scars
With the right acne scar treatments and expert tips, you can finally forget your breakout-ridden past
Stop acne scars from the start It should go without saying that the best way to fight future acne scars is to not get zits in the first place. That means being diligent about your skin care routine -- starting now. For help with that, check out this ultimate guide to fighting adult acne. But of course it would be unfair, and naïve, to think that a pimple won't ever pop up despite our best efforts.
When that does happen -- Do. Not. Pop. It. Whitney Johnson, Global Education Developer at The International Dermal Institute, says that popping and picking at your skin is a guaranteed way to get scars. We know it's hard not to touch, but you will be thankful in the future.
Instead of picking and prodding your face, your first action in the plan of attack should be to use a spot treatment that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur. These ingredients will help to diminish the zit fast, giving you less time to even think about popping. Try Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment, $3.
