I have karatosis pilaris, and I have been using the derma doctor scrub in the shower, and the lotion when im out of the shower, and it has made my arms a lot smoother, but they are still kind of red, if you know anything, please tell me, I would greatly appreciate it, thankyou.
Try applying a compress of water & whole milk or aloe vera juice for 3-5 minutes to sooth your skin before showering.
Use a soap or shower gel w/ oatmeal. SkiKai is a very good brand.
Applying a bit of aloe vera gel before bed time might help too.
How to Heal Acne Scars - Discover Methods to Heal Acne Scars
How can you heal acne scars?
It is a fact; acne scars can seriously undermine your self-confidence. Therefore, it is important that you know and understand the different ways and methods to heal acne scars. By following a suitable treatment, hopefully you will get rid of those ugly scars; this is good news for your overall self-esteem!
Of course, there are more aggressive treatments out there that you can follow. Unfortunately, however, more often than not these are way beyond your financial means.
But, still, there is hope. Apart from treatments that will cost you a fortune, you will be pleased to know that there are also some cheap and natural remedies, which will help you, heal acne scars.
And the news is especially good for people with sensitive skin. Natural remedies do not create any side effects or rashes, which might aggravate your skin condition.
Below, I give you a short list of some sure-fire tips, which will help you improve the appearance of your scars.
1. One popular method to heal acne scars is to use an oatmeal cleanser. Apart from being effective on treating acne scars, this is also ideal for removing skin defects like blackheads.
According to this method, you get a mixture of rose water and oatmeal powder (together they form a paste) and then you apply it on the areas of your face that you want to improve.
This process will allow the oatmeal to close all existing skin pores and help clear up a lot of your existing acne scars. To see the best kind of results you should do this everyday.
2. Another method I can suggest is to use honey. I don't know if you are aware of this, but it is generally known that honey plays a great role in defeating bacteria that actually causes acne.
Having first thoroughly cleaned your skin with water, you can then apply honey. Wait after ten minutes before rinsing it with clean water.
3. Other methods involve applying various lotions and gels that you can get hold of at leading pharmacies and are endorsed by highly respected professionals.
Regardless of the method, what you should have in mind is that you should always be patient and stick to whatever therapy you follow long enough until you start noticing visible results.
4. The last tip I have for you if you want to heal acne scars is to have a look at a revolutionary method that has recently started to emerge as a viable alternative to other costly therapies such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels etc.
In a nutshell, this method, which is widely known as skin or micro needling, involves the use of a device called derma roller. This roller consists of several very thin needles which when rolled across the skin surface you want to improve, they have the effect of energizing our own body's mechanism of producing collagen.
As you know, collagen is the substance that is responsible for keeping our skin tight and firm. As we grow older, our body gradually loses its ability to produce this substance. The results are wrinkles, sagging skin and scars becoming more noticeable.
The great advantages of using derma rollers are three: First, you can do it yourself at the privacy of your own home, secondly it is much cheaper than other therapies and thirdly it is less invasive. This means that there is minimum downtime and it doesn't involve peeling away the external layer of the epidermis, as it happens with other therapies.
