Post-Acne Marks: How to Fade the Look of Blemish Spots
hassan nordine
Post-acne marks are the dark or reddish marks that can remain after a blemish has healed. They are not always scars. In many cases, they are caused by inflammation that triggers excess pigment or redness in the skin.
Picking at blemishes, using harsh products or skipping sunscreen can make these marks appear darker and last longer.
A gentle routine can help improve their appearance over time. Brightening ingredients, hydration and sun protection are essential. It is also important to avoid over-exfoliating, as irritation can make pigmentation worse.
