If you are a teenager or adult
who has acne or used to have acne, you are probably faced with
the question of what to do about acne scars.
There is probably nothing that
helps maintain a positive body image than a face with beautiful
skin, and if acne has scarred your teenager’s face –
or your own – you may want to try some products that specialize
in acne scar skin care.
If you are under the care of
a dermatologist for acne or other skin conditions, he or she
will likely have some god advice for you to follow with regard
to acne scare skin care or skin care in general.
There are a variety of products
available both over the counter and as prescription that can
help reduce or minimize acne scars.
Corticosteroid creams are sometimes
used for acne scar skin care, as are other creams, gels, or lotions.
Accutane is a powerful anti-acne medication, but it carries risks
with it – mostly for the unborn – so women who use
Accutane should not get pregnant. |

In addition to products, a dermatologist
may recommend other options for acne scar skin care. Lasers or
intense pulsed light treatments are a high-tech option, and some
doctors may also recommend gel sheetings or pressure treatments.
Cocoa butter has long been touted
as an effective way to reduce the appearance of scars of all
types, including acne scars.
Cocoa butter is inexpensive and can be bought in its “pure”
form, or you can find products that contain cocoa butter as an
active ingredient.
Women have been using it for
years as an anti-stretch mark product, and there is no reason
to believe that it is not just as effective as an acne scar skin
care product as it is for stretch marks.
Jan Edwards has a wealth of personal experience in the field
of skin
care. She believes in the "whole" approach to skin
care, rather than just relying on "quick fix" lotions.
Taking time out from her "day job" as a corporate model,
Jan shares the secrets of looking great for the camera - and
dispels many of the myths about skin care.
