Do You Know The Best Scar Treatment?

Do You Know The Best Scar Treatment?
Did you know the best scar treatment of all is prevention?

A scar is a natural part of the healing process. Skin
scars occur when the deep thick layer of skin is damaged.
The worse the damage is, the worse the scar will be.

Effective acne skin care is the key to avoiding acne scars
for life. Most acne skin scars are flat, pale, and leave a
trace of the original zit that caused them. The redness
and swelling that often follow a zit may not be a scar and
is generally not permanent. The time it takes for the zit
to go away may, however, range from a few days to several
weeks.

Four Rules for Good Acne Skin Care

Rule #1: Never, ever, ever squeeze, press, or handle an
active zit.

The act of squeezing, ripping, or scratching often causes a
scar, and perhaps for life, because it further damages the
already affected dermis. To understand scar treatment is
to know that the body cannot rebuild the tissue exactly as
it was prior to the formation of a blemish and manipulating
the tender skin in any way significantly increases the risk
of scarring.

Also, picking at scabs is a terrible form of scar treatment
and should be avoided at all costs. Scabs are formed as
part of the healing process that is going on underneath
them at a deeper level of tissue. Pulling a scab off
before it is ready totally interferes with the healing and
remodeling process, prolonging the time that
post-inflammatory changes will be visible and increasing
the risk that serious scar treatment will be needed later
on.

Rule #2: Use professional anti aging skin care products and
always assure they are as natural, or all natural, as
possible.

Do not use any products on your face as part of a good acne
skin care regimen that includes any oil or petroleum-based
products. Wash your face and do not scrub it with a rag,
loofah, or anything other than your bare hands and always,
always wash your makeup off at night and use an anti aging
skin care cream lotion at night with acne-fighting
properties.

Rule #3: Avoid the sun - period! Especially avoid it if you
have adult acne or a flare-up of acne.

The direct rays of the sun will totally worsen adult acne
or acne flare-ups and, under any condition, getting
sunburned may lead to permanent irrevocable scarring. The
best advice for effective scar treatment is to wear a hat
or covering that keeps the direct sunlight off the face.

Rule #4: Use anti aging skin care cream lotions when
outbreaks occur.

Generally over-the-counter all natural products, which
include corticosteroids, alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy
acids, or certain antihistamine creams are effective. Scar
treatment starts by gently and effectively eliminating
pimples, zits, and blemishes without poking, prodding, or
squeezing. Give the anti aging skin care cream lotions
time to do their job without being overly impatient and
causing a scar that may stay for life.
