acne scars?
At the age of 9 i start getting acne, i did lots of treatments but i couldnt get rid of them, now i am 24 i still get few acne but not that bad how it use to be. But i have lots of acne scars & blemishes on my face, some are red and some are brownish. They really dont look good. I normally apply makeup to hide them, bought lots of expensive concealers and foundations. Yes they give good results when i apply them but after few hours the makeup gets faded and the blemishes shows. Can some one tell me good concealers which can stay longer and help me hide these belmishes & scars. I dont mind the price but it should be available easily in London as we dont get some American brands here.
P.S. My skin is quite oily
I actually had the same problem. I had alot of acne scars on my back and forehead, i tried everything to get rid of them like scar oils such as bio oil and all kinds of remedies. None of them helped, i went to a beauty salon and i asked them about it, they told me about this thing called ‘micro-dermabrasion’, its quite expensive depending on how big a treatment it is. I got the micro-dermabrasion treatment that day and i saw results 2 days after. I had to go back a second time to get rid of them fully. Now there all gone. For the treatments i got, on my forehead and my back for 2 treatments it cost about $100. I still have a few little scars on my forhead but i cover them up like you do with a concealer and some powder. Because i have oily skin just like you i use mineral make-up, i suggest you use it..its great. Goodluck! =)
In my opinion applying concealers and foundation will make pitted scars appear more obvious.
Why don’t you level out the surface of your skin with various treatments and/or products that are readily available that actually work.
If your rich go for – Fraxel treatments
If your poor – XFOLI8 mitts
They both will improve the appearance of scars and marks.
hello there..
i too have a problrm same to urs. i started having braekouts at the age of 17. i recommand u to use vichy products which is made in france. its soo good u can see the difference fast too. go to http://www.vichy.com. take a look at their product especially for antiimperfection set .skin like us should use a foamy cleanser to get rid of oilyness.
for scars i use ZA whitening toner to lighten ur scars n evenout ur skin tone skin giving it glow… worth buying vichy!
skin lighteners have a mild drying effect and can control acne to a certain degree, and lighten the acne scars in the process.. this is how it affected me after using this nice black licorice lightening soap.. brightened my skin too.. here’s where you can find it -
