By doing this you are encouraging the pores of your skin to open and will help to keep the skin looking young, bright and natural. This will help to reduces the unnatural look of the acne scars (as people will be looking at your natural beauty rather than anything else! ).

Skin looks less healthy when it is not hydrated properly. So you will find that being dehydrated will tend to make scars look more prominent. Surprisingly you will probably also look like you have even more acne scars than you actually do. The solution is simple – stay hydrated, and be proactive about it! Don’t wait until you feel thirsty before you take some water (by then it’s too late), drink fresh clean un-chlorinated water (mineral water is best
although filtered water is a good 2nd) throughout the day. Aim to drink at least 1.5 liters of pure per day, more if you are bigger than average. Another source of water that people often forget is high water fruits (grapes, apples etc, etc) and veggies & salads. Of course fruits and vegetables should to be as fresh as possible and (ideally) organic. Do this and you’ll look better and you’ll also feel a whole lot better as well! You’ll also find that you will be far less likely to get pimples (and so a proactive kind of pimple scar removal) if you follow this simple step. Moisturizing Creams Moisturizing creams applied once or twice a day will keep the skin flexible. This will serve two purposes – it will help to reduce the effect and dominance of the scars and will assist in new scars forming in future. As with my suggestions above, natural and organic is the best way to go. For Best Results – Be Consistent Yes you are busy. I am busy. We are all busy.

What About Covering Up Acne Scars? This is a tempting strategy – cover the scarring with makeup. The upside of course is that the scars have gone away or have been significantly masked whilst the makeup is in place. But the downside is that the region of skin that you have covered up cannot breath and will therefore restrict and slow down the healing process. If you really must cover up your scars then do it then use natural makeup and use one that does in no way irritate your skin / scars. And use the makeup for as short a period as you can get away with, then remove as quick as possible. And then apply the natural acne reduction techniques described.
