Two excellent home treatment options to completely eliminate the marks left by the pimples are the sugar or coffee scrub, which can be done during the bath, being a good option for those who have few and soft acne scars on the face; and treatment with Dermaroller, which is best suited to eliminate acne scars, more and deeper.
For best results it is recommended to use a sunscreen daily and a diet rich in vitamin E and C because these vitamins are essential for skin health.
Option 1. Homemade scrub
This skin exfoliation can be done once a week with a mixture of sugar or coffee and almond oil because it removes the most superficial layer of skin leaving the skin more even and less scarred.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar or coffee grounds
- 3 tablespoons sweet almond oil
Method of preparation
Put the ingredients in a glass and mix well. Next, rub the mixture into the areas with acne scars, with circular motions, for 3 minutes and rinse with warm water then. Then dry with a soft towel and moisturize the skin with a face cream, recommended for your skin type.
Option 2. Using Dermaroller
Another possibility is to pass the Dermaroller on the skin every 20 or 30 days. This treatment consists of passing on every face a small device called DermaRoller that can be bought at beauty stores or the internet. It contains between 200 and 540 needles lined, which when passing on the skin make small holes, facilitating the action of healing creams or serums.
The small holes also promote the production of new collagen fibers, being an excellent treatment to give more firmness to the skin and to eliminate the depressions caused by the scars, leaving the skin more even. This roller can be found with needles of size 0.3 to 2 mm, and for home application it is preferable to choose 0.3 or 0.5 mm because they are not so deep and have a lower risk of infection.
After passing the roller across the face, or only in the desired areas, it is normal for the skin to become swollen and reddish, and it is necessary to apply creams to accelerate healing and to be soothing.
