The annoying, itchy aftermath is almost as irritating as dealing with the acne itself. There are a few simple ways to help alleviate the pain and irritation, most of which can easily be incorporated into your every day life.
Staying out of the skin is vital for easing acne scars - UV rays damage the skin and constant exposure can lead to long term issues. Like many aspects of skin care, prevention is easier than the cure, so if you do head outside on a summer's afternoon, make sure to wear plenty of sun protection.
In regards to skin care products, any creams or lotions rich in glycolic acid, lactic acid and Vitamin C helps cleanse and purify the skin. These ingredients are natural exfoliators and help create a balanced skin tone. Rosehip oil and aloe vera also help heighten the process and add a clear and smooth complexion.
