Q: Pimple scars that wont go away

A: okay im a trainee beautician and I also had the same prolem as you so follow my advice and you should be okay: your skin naturally produces oil as it helps to protect your skin by keeping moisture in -using antibacterial products don't help (clean & clear, clearasil, etc) because they strip away too much oil, and so your skin immediately recognises this and produces more. This means that at first your spots could go away but then like a week later they'll come back. -You should use products like 'simple', which arent too harsh on your skin. They have different products for different skin types and the 'purifying' ones are made specifically for oily skin. -Secondally, eating junk food does not give you spots, so dont deprive yourself of chocolate and things (obviously im not telling you to eat it constantly, you should eat good foods to stay healthy, but this is a myth) - make-up: okay, mineral make-ups are good for skin as they dont contain harsh ingredients, however they are naturally creamy once on the skin so your face will still go shiny (especially in hot weather), so your best bet is to go for a water-based liquid foundation- obviously from the name you can see that they are oil free. Avon sell these as part of their 'colortrend' brand of makeup. -and also make sure you moisturise your skin, a lot of people think that they shouldnt moisturise if they have oily skin but it helps to protect it, particularly under make-up (again use the 'simple' product) as it will help to create a barrier and stop your make-up from absorbing into your pores. but PLEASE, apply your moisturiser atleast twenty minutes before applying your make-up as it will make it all slippery. it would also be good to gently blot your face with tissue before applying the make-up in case there is any excess moisturiser or if you cant wait the full 20 minutes. -DO NOT squeeze your pimples, even if there is a whitehead on them, do not squeeze them, I used to do that and I got scars on my face. aswell as leaving scars, you can get more spots as parts of the bacteria (even miniscule parts that you cant see) will get into other pores and create more spots. - if you do have scarring, using products such as bio-oil will help if used on a regular basis- a good time would be at night before bed - finally if you really cannot stand it any longer and none of the above help, go to your doctor, and they may prescribe you a course of tablets and/or cream, however as you are quite young they may not, as your problem would really be due to puberty and may not be severe enough If you do manage to get prescriptions, be patient. They will not work straight away, these things take time to work, and you should still follow all the advice from above. If you are still in education your prescription from the doctor may be free. and make sure you read any leaflets and instructions with them very carefully. I know I have written a lot(sorry lol), I certainly hope that it will help you. if you have any questions on the above such as where do get any of the above products of any other skin worries dont hesitate to ask, I would be glad to help.

A: there are a lot of things that you can do to slowly remove the scars. I once had irritating pimples... agh ! I just hate it !! Just like Koreans who have such good skin, really really good skin, I only eat veggies, fruits and meat ( not fried) ... After 3 months, the scars were gone and my skin is glowing...yey !! :D and also I wash my face very often , especially when I'm at home... good luck :)

A: I have the same problem , you should get bio oil . im using it and the scars are slowly fading away ... just be patient
