Pimple marks: How they affect the complexion

Pimple marks, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are dark spots that remain on the skin after acne or pimples have healed. When the skin tries to heal itself after inflammation, it can produce excess melanin, leading to dark spots. Sun exposure can make existing spots darker, and using irritating products can delay the healing of acne marks and increase their visibility. The right combination of sun protection and appropriate skincare products can improve the appearance of your skin and effectively combat acne marks. Remember to be patient, as the healing and removal of acne marks takes time.

REMOVE PIMPLE MARKS - THE RIGHT SKINCARE ROUTINE

Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, are ideal for your morning routine and have a brightening effect, which can reduce the visibility of acne marks. Additionally, sun protection is crucial to minimize the darkness of acne marks. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. In the evening, mild chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of acne marks by removing dead skin cells. Retinoids should also be included in the evening routine as they promote cell renewal and improve skin texture, making them suitable companions to help acne marks fade faster. Other active ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, aloe vera, and panthenol have anti-inflammatory properties or promote skin healing. Ensure that the products suit your skin type and condition. Our customer service team is happy to help you create a suitable skincare routine tailored to your personal skin needs.

PROMOTING THE HEALING OF PIMPLE MARKS

To promote the healing of acne marks, it is important to avoid certain skincare practices and habits that can worsen the condition. Avoid aggressive facial cleansers, too frequent or harsh exfoliation, and products with high alcohol content. Squeezing pimples can also injure the skin and cause inflammation, which promotes the formation of acne marks and worsens existing ones. Instead, your skin should be adequately hydrated, supplied with anti-inflammatory ingredients, and protected daily with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30). Additionally, an unhealthy diet can promote inflammation, and lack of sleep can impair skin regeneration. By adjusting your lifestyle and habits, you can support your skin's healing process.
