I have chocolate colored skin. Every so often (all you women know exactly when), I get at least two pimples on my face that go away after 3 or 4 days. But they always leave black marks. Even though my skin is smooth and soft, it is peppered with black spots from these inevitable zits. I have tried going on the pill, exfoliating twice every week, Vitamin C and E supplements and drinking plenty of water but the marks are still there. I have been forced to cover them with makeup. What can I do? Lightening creams will be my last resort.
Thank you
For those recommending Vitamin E, where can I get it from and in what form does it come?

Here are two suggestions that have worked for me: vitamin E oil at night, and microdermabrasion from a medical spa. The E oil has helped fade them, and the microdermabrasion just takes them right off. Depending on the severity, you may need more than one treatment, though.
ReplyDeleteI think it's because the areas are getting bruised. When popping any pimples use two Q-tips instead of your fingers and stop when you see blood, then treat them with a topical acne cream. keep your face moisturized with an oil free moisturizer to keep from over drying.

ReplyDeleteLemon juice is effective in lightening the dark spots left by acne and pimples.
First, cleanse the scarred area with water. Soak up a teaspoon of lemon juice with a cotton ball and smooth it over the marks. Leave the juice in place for ten minutes, then rinse.
Be careful how often you use lemon juice: it can have the side effect of making your skin light sensitive. Make sure to cover treated areas with sunscreen before going outdoors.
Vitamin E
Try applying vitamin E to the scarred area three to four times daily to help reduce its visibility. If you keep at it, you should see some results after one to two weeks. It takes a long time before you get really noticeable effects.
Honey and pearl
A useful facial pack for acne is honey and pearl powder.
Apply a mask of it for 15 minutes. If you can keep doing it every week, your skin will become lighter and smoother.
Tea tree oil
Some medications made from natural ingredients, such as rosehip seed oil and tea tree oil, will not only help to heal scars, but also significantly work to prevent future scarring.
Fruits
In addition to eating fresh fruits to supply your skin with collagen-building vitamin C, you can also smear them onto your face as an acidic exfoliant.
Puree a quarter cup of pineapple and smooth it onto your face. Leave it in place 10-15 minutes, then rinse.
Pineapple contains ascorbic acid which helps brighten the face and fade acne. Apple works similarly. Soak a slice of apple in hot water till soft, then apply it to any scarred areas. Leave it for 20 minutes, and then rinse.
Leeks
Peel the membrane from white are of the leek while watching TV or resting. Place a peeling over scarred areas for ten minutes every day. You can secure it with a bandage to keep it from falling off. Keep this up for a few weeks and you'll see the color fade away
Ginger
After cleaning your skin, cut a few slices of fresh ginger and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes. You'd better do this laying down, otherwise the ginger may fall off. It might burn a little, but probably not too much. The ginger may leave behind a bit of redness after you removeit, but don't be too worried. Just wipe off and have a good rest. In the morning, the scar should become smooth, and will hopefully fade completely within two weeks.
