What's up gents welcome back to a brand new video with Tiege Hanley my name is
Dominick Whelton for those who don't know and today we're gonna be talking about
the best ways to prevent and get rid of acne scars getting into this we should
probably talk about what acne scars are acne scars are caused by inflamed
lesions which then cause your body to destroy tissue so with that your body
then has to get new tissue and unfortunately that's usually scar tissue
which isn't as smooth so what causes acne scars typically this is caused by
inflammation of a lesion cyst or pimple this usually happens when an inflamed
pore deals with excess oil dead skin cells and bacteria
now when the swells it causes a break in the follicle wall the rupture occurs
near the surface of the skin usually the impact is pretty small however the most
serious lesions occur when there's a deep rupture in that follicle wall now
the body's natural response to this is to repair those cells with collagen
fibers and collagen is what new scar tissue is made out of so now with that
information let's talk about ways that you can help prevent further acne
scarring the number one tip we can give you for preventing future acne scars to
get on a healthy skin care regimen with an uncomplicated skin care routine you
can help yourself prevent acne now and also prevent future acne scars so with
that the first thing you want to do is you want to prevent future excess oil
buildup a great way to combat this is to use a face wash I personally wash my
face twice a day so in the morning when I start my day and I'm showering I'm
getting all the grime and bacteria and dirt off my face and right before I go
to bed I'm making sure that I'm washing my face again so before I lay my head
down on the pillow for 8 hours hopefully I'm making sure my face is as
clean as possible and the next thing you want to do is you
want to make sure you're treating your acne as soon as it develops so one thing
that I do to kind of help combat future acne that I may have is in addition to
washing my face I use an exfoliator twice a week now this helps me get all
of the dead skin cells off along with the grime and everything else when I'm
washing my face but this will help me prevent future afternoons from coming
because my pores are clean they're open and I'm making sure that I'm getting all
of the bacteria off my face a final thought as far as your skin care routine
is I would suggest getting an acne cream if needed you want to find one with
salicylic acid which is one of the main ingredients for combating
acne so again when it comes to your skincare routine make sure you're
washing your face you're exfoliating and if needed you pick up an acne cream now
I personally use Tiege Hanley's level one skin care system which comes with a face
wash and AM and a PM moisturizer and the exfoliator however if you guys want
to learn a little bit more about Tiege and the products that they offer all of
the information from this video will be in the bio so if you want a more
in-depth read on all this just go to the bio click the link and they will also
have more information to all of the products that you can get for your own
skin care system now in addition to helping you prevent yourself from
getting future acne breakouts or acne scars we have two general rules the
first and I know it's difficult stop touching your face do not pick out your
pimples now we know this is really difficult whenever we see pimple we have
the urge and the need to just pop it and don't use your skin care products to let
the body work it out on its own and do not pop your pimples the second one is
when it comes to our scabs don't pick off your scabs your body will naturally
heal itself on its own allow that process to be organic because if you
pick off your scabs then the scars that you have after as far as acne scars are
not going to be as smooth as your skin if you were to let your body just you
know take its course and do its job so no picking at the pimples and do not
pick at your scabs now as far as how to treat acne scars if you're somebody
that's already dealing with them we have a few options for you as well now the
first option is a chemical peel a chemical peels use a special chemical on
your face which helps smooth out your skin and also helps to deal with acne
scars or any marks that you may have already now kind of like a laser
treatment the chemical peel allows your body to rebuild a layer of skin giving
you the best possible glow and complexion now if you do want to go down
the laser way there are a few laser resurfacing treatments as well and now
these are usually shorter treatments with pulsed beams of light to help
remove acne scars blemishes dark circles or anything you may have on your face
that you're looking to get rid of through these treatments it allows your
body's natural healing process to take over removing the dead skin cells and
damaged skin and rebuilding it with new collagen to give you a better healthier
version of your skin one thing to remember though with a
laser treatment is it does make you a little bit more sensitive to the sun so
if you do a laser treatment you want to make sure you're putting on as much SPF
as possible Tiege Hanley has an
AM moisturizer that comes with SPF 20 so if
you do get a treatment and make sure you have a moisturizer that has some SPF
just to make sure you are protected from the sun another last option that we have
here as far as the treatments is you can look into dermabrasion and
microdermabrasion treatments and now these are both two types of skin
resurfacing techniques that can really improve the quality of your skin
especially if you're dealing with acne scars now both of these work to remove
the uppermost layer of skin via controlled exfoliation however one thing
to know is dermabrasion is usually only recommended to people a fair skinned
because it can cause some color discoloration microdermabrasion on the
other side of things is considered a healthier option and safer option for
people of all skin types with that you guys that is today's video we really
