What’s worse than having acne?

Yes, you guessed it right. Acne scars and blemishes that don’t fade easily. Those pesky dark spots that stay on long after the acne or pimple has gone. And take away the skin glow and smoothness of your face.

If only there was a magic wand to get rid of those stubborn spots and scars!

The reality is that our naturally spotless skin is bound to get blemished over time. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, exposure to UV rays, environmental aggressors, dust, grime, acne, breakouts, all these cause pigmentation and spotting on the facial skin. As we grow older, our skin cell renewal process slows down too, and dead skin cells begins to accumulate on the surface.

So, is it all over for beautiful skin? Certainly not! Nature has given us the remedy for the most stubborn of skin problems.

Read on to know how simple changes in your daily habits, and the application of natural skincare products can help fade your acne scars and dark spots.

How do I get rid of dark spots and acne scars on my face?

Acne is caused by excess of sebum on the face, that coupled with dirt and grime, causes your skin to breakout in eruptions. After the infection is over, the spots are likely to persist for some time, then fade away naturally.

The situation is more serious when the underlying skin tissue gets damaged due to the infection, leaving your skin texture altered. Post-acne scars are a result of this damage, and are thus more reluctant to fade away.

This is not in the case of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where skin damage is minimal and acne just leaves behind dark spots. Though these are unsightly to look at, with a regular simple skincare routine, they can be minimized.

Our skin produces melanin that gives it colour. Excess melanin production leads to dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Dark spots may also be due to the following reasons:

Hormonal changes like pregnancy can lead to melasma that causes dark spots.
Excessive UV exposure without SPF can lead to sun spots and pigmentation.
Comedogenic skincare products that clog your skin pores, leading to build up of dead skin cells and dirt.
Excessive dryness of skin, that is an early sign of aging.
Acne and pimples

If you have oily, acne-prone skin, it makes sense to adopt the following skincare habits to keep acne and dark spots away:

Make sure you always use natural skincare products that are free of chemicals and additives.
Don’t pick on or squeeze pimples as that can lead to permanent scarring.
Always use sun protection (with SPF 30 and more) while going out during daytime.
Apply Vitamin C skincare products to provide antioxidant protection to your skin, and improve skin tone.
Hydrate your skin at night time with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3).

What is the best product for acne scars and dark spots?

There are tons of beauty products in the market that claim to give you clear skin tone. How do you know which one would fade acne scars and dark spots effectively?

Dermatologists vouch for the efficacy of Vitamin C skincare that is known to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots.

Make sure you follow a regular skincare routine, using these products that will help in fading dark spots and acne scars:

Start your skincare routine by cleansing your face using a natural face wash containing Moroccan Lava Clay and Kaolin. Ideal for acne-prone, oily skin, this clay face wash detoxifies your skin, tightens pores, and improves skin tone. Moroccan Lava Clay is excellent in removing excess sebum from the facial skin. Along with Fuller’s Earth and Activated Charcoal, this helps remove acne and dark spots. What’s more, it doesn’t dry your skin, and keeps it hydrated.

Follow it up with a Vitamin C toner that helps in hydrating your skin and smoothening it. With plant AHAs and Witch Hazel, in combination with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, this face toner reverses the damage done by sun radiation and pollution, to visibly refine and replenish your skin. Green Tea extract and Niacinamide help control excess sebum production and remove acne causing bacteria, to give you smoother complexion.

A Vitamin C serum for face is next in order in your skincare routine. Make sure you apply one that is loaded with the Vitamin C-rich Kakadu Plum, and the wonderfully hydrating Hyaluronic Acid (that goes deep into the skin).
