Regime to get rid of brown acne scars

Description

MORNING REGIME

Step 1: Facewash

Removing excess oils, dust, dirt, and pollutants from your face is essential. However, your face should not feel dry and stretched after face wash. You can wash your face a maximum of three times a day. You can choose from the following list based on your skin type:

• Best face wash for normal skin
• Best face wash for oily skin

Here are a few brand suggestions: 

• Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam for combination skin prone to sensitivity breakouts
• Bioderma Sebium Cleansing Gel for oily skin type prone to sensitivity breakouts
• Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser for non-sensitive oily skin
• Mama-earth Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash for red pimples.
• Cera Ve Renewing SA Cleanser is a good choice for very oily skin.
• Homemade face wash for oily skin is worth a try for organic lovers.

Step 2: Morning treatment product

Apply skin-lightening cream with Kojic acid, Azelaic acid or tranexamic acid on the entire face to reduce pigmented scars. repeat application of the same product at night on dark spots after applying retinol on full face.

Brand suggestion:

• Meladerm skin-lightening cream

• Naturium Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5% 

• Paula’s Choice BOOST 10% Azelaic Acid Booster Cream Gel

Step 3: Sunscreen

Thick sunscreen can increase acne. Therefore, use a lightweight sunscreen in gel or fluid form. Re-apply it 30 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Avoid using sunscreen indoors to avoid unnecessary clogging of pores. Here is a lightweight sunscreen that is less likely to occlude your pores:

• Cetaphil PRO Oil Control Moisturising Lotion
• Bioderma AKN mat fluid 

In addition, avoid heavy makeup or layering of products. You can put lightweight makeup on top of the sunscreen.

AFTERNOON REGIME

Wash your face in the afternoon if your skin feels oily. Suppose you can’t wash your face at the workplace, then wipe your face with cotton dipped in micellar water to remove excess oils and give an instant matt look. Re-apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out in the sun.

NIGHT REGIME

Remove makeup with micellar water rather than a cleansing lotion and apply retinol serums to reduce oil secretion, open pores, and acne while delaying the signs of ageing. 

Brand suggestions:

• CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum has ceramide that recovers the skin barrier, and Niacinamide reduces inflammation.
• Olay Regenerist Retinol 24-Night Serum also has Niacinamide.

Put Differin acne scar gel as a spot treatment on red scars to expedite the process. If your skin feels dry and stretched after morning or night treatment products, apply Sebamed face clear gel.

WEEKLY REGIME

Avoid harsh scrubs or peels. You can put on De-tan Mask twice a week to soothe your skin and promote the healing of red scars.
