Quick Tip For Getting Rid of Post-Acne Marks

I get asked a lot not just how to find acne and blemishes, but how to get rid of the discolouration and scars that are left behind afterwards.  The truth is.. the most important factor is time.  I had really bad acne lasting until I was about 20, and now I’m nearly 24.  My acne scars are almost completely gone. So don’t be discouraged…they will hang around for a long time, but patience and a little TLC will help them to disappear for good. I recommend gentle daily exfoliation (even if you don’t have sensitive skin)… find a cleanser that exfoliates super gently- I like the Bare Escentuals Exfoliating Treatment Cleanser (nothing with large granules)! Make sure to use a very hydrating night cream too. The combination of slowly but surely sloughing off dead skin and nourishing your skin to help promote regeneration will keep your skin in good shape, eventually getting rid of those marks. Until then, a good concealer is your best friend!
