How to cure blackheads and acne scars?Blackheads:Blackheads are a very common skin problem. Contrary to popular belief, blackheads are not acne; everyone has them because they are naturally occurring. Pores are the opening to sebaceous glands and in each pore are a little bit of sebum. When the sebum is exposed to air, it becomes oxidized and turns dark and becomes a blackhead. Blackheads can be mostly found on the neck and the chin. How to treat blackheads? You can use exfoliator which is essentially used to keep pores clean. Lactic acid is a natural alpha hydroxyl acid which will loosen up dead skin cells and reduce congestion. Pore strips are a good temporary fix but should not be used if you have sensitive skin. Although you cannot stop oil production you can use oil free moisturizers to keep oil and dirt from sticking to poresAcne Scars:Scarring usually comes from severe acne. The inflammation has to be really deep in your skin to trigger the scarring process. When pimples clear up they can leave behind redness and marks for up to two years- that’s why you should never pick or pop pimples, no matter how tempting it is. Heavier pigmentation is more prone to scarring since the melanin in the skin turns dark when it is inflamed. How to treat acne scars? Acid peels are a popular way of treating scars because they stimulate exfoliation and cell regeneration. Lactic acid peels have better healing results without severe inflammation. Laser treatment is another way to heal acne scars. There are some products that might also be useful like Clinique turn around radiance peel once a week or Elizabeth Arden peel and reveal treatment. (I am not promoting these products, I just think they are good products after researching about them)
