The Truth About Blemishes and Some Tips

True fact: Acne loves to invade everyone’s skin, regardless of the color. Unfortunately, this could be more problematic if you have darker skin. African-American women haveenough melanin that makes theirskin more resistant to aging. This means you have better protection against the sun. This makes you look younger than your fair-skinned girlfriends when you all turn 50.

Before you shout with joy, you should know that melanin will not protect you against dark spots and scars brought out by acne. You might say that it is easier to hide these blemishes, since you have darker skin. Apparently not.

Surprisingly, black skin is more prone to hyperpigmentation, or the darkening of the skin, and hypo pigmentation or the loss of skin color. The buildup of dead skin cells is also more noticeable on dark skin since the dead ones are grayer and paler than the healthy ones.

Still, this doesn’t mean there is nothing you can do about spots and scars. It may take some time before you see noticeable results, but it won’t hurt if you follow these 10 tips.

Know The Difference Between Scars And Spots

These two share a common denominator: they don’t look good on your face. However, acne scars and acne spots are two different things.

Acne spots are most likely called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This happens when your skin makes more melanin in response to an injury, which in this case is the acne.

Choose The Right Facial Products

Your facial products including facial wash and cream play a major role in the health of your skin, specifically your face. Therefore, make sure to choose a product that suits your skin type and at the same time, addresses your acne condition.

Always Wear Sunscreen

Keep this in mind: Sunscreen is a must. In fact, it should be part of your skincare routine because you need adequate protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays.

The UV rays from the sun excite your melanin-producing cells, which could worsen discoloration issues. The sun’s harmful rays won’t help either, just in case you want to avoid scars on your face.
