When it comes to acne and dark skin even the smallest breakout can leave scars that last for months or even years.. UGH!!
BUT we have 6 tips to help you to prevent that from happening:
1. Get a moderately strong exfoliation treatment like a 10-12% modified Jessner’s peel or an enzyme with microdermabrasion.
2. Always use sunscreen. Scars that get exposed to UV light will darken even more and be about 10X harder to get rid of.
3. Avoid hot water like the plague. Heat causes dryness in the skin which makes us get UV damage faster and leads to major discoloration that is difficult to fade.
4. Use an acid exfoliant to shed scar tissue and unclog pores at the same time (hint: our CLEARity serum)
5. Avoid Benzoyl Peroxide above 2.5% as it is extremely drying and leads to discoloration very quickly.
6. Avoid hair products with coconut oil and shea butter, they are extremely pore-clogging!
