Are you or someone you know troubled by red marks, ugly scars and pitting from acne breakouts?  Have you given up hope regarding healing these marks short of costly laser surgery orpainful dermabrasion?  Is there a safer and more natural way to heal these scars?  In a word….YES!  Read on to learn how to heal these marks naturally…

First…DO NOT attempt any of these interventions until your acne is fully healed.  If you do not know how to fix your acne…call us or email us for a FREE consultation or appointment to address your acne problems.  It is important to get to the root cause of the problem and to eliminate or dramatically reduce the attendant inflammation before even thinking about the scarring. 

Once that is accomplished, the damage from the skin being chronically inflamed can be addressed.  Healing the damaged skin is contingent upon two factors supplying nutrients to the dermal layers both internally and externally.

Internally: a very clean whole foods diet with specific nutrients that nourish the skin within these include: Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, B-Complex, amino acids and essential fatty acids. This is a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, essential fats and lean protein. Proper hydration and avoidance of alcohol, caffeine, sugar, hydrogenated fats, and junk food are very important as well. 

Supplementing the above nutrients can be helpful for 3-12 months depending upon the severity of the scarring.  These can be taken in individual forms…link or in a formula like our DermaCare-FREE Shipping on all orders and Volume discounts from 10-20% on orders over $99.

The next step is exfoliating the damaged skin.  This can be accomplished many different ways.  Enzymes are one way to exfoliate mild to moderate acne scars.  Glisten Up!, our pineapple enzyme scrub can be used daily to help to debride the damaged tissue.  For more serious scarring  Shape Up! Our pumpkin enzyme peel will work wonders in exfoliating the damaged skin.  Very serious level pitting will require deeper peeling agents which require supervison for proper use.

The next step is providing nutrients topically to regenerate skin at the topical level.  Initially, professional levels of retinol (20%) this is a concentrated form of Vitamin A, and 20% of Vitamins C and E can be used to help skin regenerate.  Nourish Up!, and Fix Up! Are two of our products that provide these nutrients in high concentrations. Lastly, our Clear Up! Scar serum contains essential oils and herbs to help skin regenerate and smooth out.

Please be advised that while you will see improvements in 30-45 days, it will take time, consistency and dedication to see perfect results.  Still the effort will be worth it and you will have glowing, scar free skin in seemingly no time.
