How to Prevent Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation
Acne scars and dark spots can linger long after breakouts heal. Here’s how to prevent and minimize these common skin concerns.
Step 1: Don’t Pick or Squeeze Pimples
Picking acne can damage skin and cause permanent scars and pigmentation.
Step 2: Use Sunscreen Daily
UV exposure worsens hyperpigmentation. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day, even indoors.
Step 3: Incorporate Brightening Ingredients
Vitamin C, niacinamide, and licorice root extract help fade dark spots and brighten skin tone.
Step 4: Use Retinoids for Skin Renewal
Retinoids accelerate skin turnover, improving texture and reducing scars over time.
