How to Reduce Scarring & Pore Size

Keeping up a healthy skincare regiment is the best formula for reducing pore size and acne related scarring. Facial pores clogged with excess sebum and dead skin are the most common cause of enlarged pores and pimples. Working towards keeping the skin cleansed and properly exfoliated is the key to prevention. The advice and treatment of medical professionals can also assist in this process.

Instructions

1. Use facial cleansers that contain salicylic acid twice a day. These acids aid in the fight against excess sebum and clogged pores.

2. Apply toner to the face after cleansing. Toners aid in pore cleansing and help to bring the skin back to a healthy acidity level, or pH level. Follow with a moisturizer.

3. Apply an exfoliating scrub or mask twice a week to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores. Removing dead skin cells also helps to diminish the appearance of scars by promoting healthy collagen production that can plump the skin.

4. Drink plenty of water to help your body remove toxins and lower sebum production.

5. Refrain from squeezing pimples. Instead, enjoy a professional facial once a month for gentle skin extractions that will not cause scarring.

6. Seek medical advice from Dermatologists for treatment of serious or persistent skin problems. Dermatologists have access to more intensive cleansing and exfoliation treatments.
