How to Erase a Pimple Scar

Pimple scars can be embarrassing and long lasting. Everybody's skin is different, and there are different causes of scarring. Luckily, there are just as many remedies. Erasing your pimple scars can be easy with some common facial cleaning supplies and daily diligence. Here are some useful steps you can take to erase a pimple scar.

Things You'll Need

• Soap
• Face towel
• Scar medication
• Vitamin E oil

Instructions

1. Wash your face with soap and water twice a day and immediately apply moisturizer. Washing your face more than twice a day can result in dry skin that can become flaky and cracked. Washing the proper amount helps remove unhealthy oils that prolong scarring.

2. Scrub your face at night with warm water and immediately wash with cold water. Warm water will open your pores. Cold water helps close pores, which in turn keeps oils out of your skin so your pimples and scars become healthy.

3. Apply vitamin E oil to your skin once a day. Vitamin E provides a natural oil that helps restore elasticity and regenerate skin cells. Applying more than once a day can leave your face oily and oversaturated.

4. Purchase scar removal cream from your local pharmacy. There are several over-the-counter options available that help erase scars. Ask the pharmacist for recommendations before you purchase a cream. Read the instructions carefully as some of these treatments contain chemicals and oils that may be harmful if used improperly.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid popping and scratching pimples and scars. This type of stress only damages your skin. While it is difficult, avoiding this type of contact will ensure that the scars and pimples you have will not get worse.
