Skin's Best Friend introduce

How many times have you allowed your acne to affect social aspects of your life? Maybe you cancelled a date or called in sick to school or work to avoid the embarrassing looks or comments that may develop. The only thing worse than a sudden and rapid breakout is the scars that these breakouts can leave behind. Try these tips to reduce scarring:



1. Cocoa Butter

This soaks into the skin, reducing the appearance of any imperfection that could be resting on the surface of your skin. This lotion also helps increase the effectiveness of your body’s natural healing. Cocoa butter should only be applied to the body, but not the face or neck otherwise it can cause you to breakout.

2. Microdermabrasion

This process takes off the top layer of dead skin, leaving fresh and new skin behind. This fresh skin looks healthy and glowing, reducing the appearance of acne scars on the face.

3. Sunscreen

Sunscreen needs to be used daily to protect the skin and reduce the redness that comes from acne scars. When scars get exposed to sun they can become more irritated, so protecting the skin before you go out is the best way to reduce the appearance of all acne scars.

4. Baking Soda

Baking Soda and a Water paste: This combination will help to clean impurities away from acne scars while also exfoliating the skin, leaving fresh skin behind.
