What is an Acne Scar?
An acne scar is a result of the inflammation of a blemish-causing a breakdown in the wall of the pore. Ridding your complexion of these scars can require a multi-layered solution, and it is imperative to get your acne under control as well so that new scars are not forming consistently.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, Acne scars on the face, chest and back are very common. Some 80% of people between ages 11 and 30 will get acne, and one out of five of those people will develop scars.
How do I prevent myself from getting them?
Don't pick! Don't forget to apply sunscreen of 35+ daily! Don't forget to drink an adequate amount of water!

This coupled with new home care and attention to diet, exercise, mental health & stress awareness, and SPF, will help people in Canfield, OH, reduce and remove acne scars.
How does the SPF help?
A common skincare tip from our Canfield, OH, estheticians is that wearing SPF will help your skin not create a darker pigment around the scar that has formed. It will protect the damaged and new skin from creating what is called a "hyperpigmentation" spot or "dark spot" as most people call them.
When someone with severe acne does not care for it properly and then spends a lot of time out in the sunlight-- many of the scars become dark spots.
Wearing an SPF of 35+ daily (And reapply if you're in the water or sweat it off) is the best way to protect your skin from developing dark spots around your acne and acne scars.
