Probably one of the most frustrating areas to have scaring is on the face. It is the first place people see when they meet you so it cannot be covered up or hidden. Facial scars can have a huge impact on a person’s life and self esteem; they can become withdrawn and shy away from social situations to avoid staring and questions from people about their scars. Teenagers that suffer from acne scars are especially venerable as this is the stage in their life where they develop their self esteem and body image so if there is an issue at this age it can develop into personality issues that can affect them for the rest of their lives. Scaring can be cause by various reasons and finding the right solution to deal with it is up to you. There are skin treatments and concealing make up that can help a lot but a lot of men don’t want to go down that road so it’s an individual choice. Here are some of the common causes and treatments for facial scaring.



Acne can play havoc with a person’s life depending on the severity of the problem. People with severe acne can become very affected by the effects it will have on their self esteem. Large pimples and cysts are near impossible to disguise and in trying to do so with make up can only aggravate the problem. Cystic lesions occur when bacteria infects a blocked pore casing it to become inflamed and very sore the urge to squeeze the area for relief is strong but you have to fight that urge. Picking and squeezing at spots and
cysts can cause severe scarring that will last even when the acne itself has cleared up so be vigilant in not picking at the acne. To help with scaring you need to keep the area bacteria free and buy a balancing moisturizer to help balance oil production and further breakouts. Small amounts of sun exposure will help clear the effected area as the rays from the sun contain vitamins D and E that help renew surface skin cells.



Facial skin Injuries can not be prevented unfortunately, if it happens it’s usually out of your control. The injury itself can predict what kind of scar that you’re going to have a cut from a sharp instrument can leave a clean line that will heal nicely into a smooth scar with no discoloration these are the easiest to treat and conceal. A jagged scar can leave the skin to heal unevenly and the tissue to grow rapidly causing lumpy raised tissue scaring and this would be the most difficult to treat. The most important think to remember is to keep the scar well moisturized through out healing allowing the cells to develop more evenly and avoiding scratching of any dry skin in the area.



Bio oil is an over the counter treatment that is made especially for scar tissue it will keep the area well moisturized and is full of vitamins and antibacterial agents to keep the skin growing healthy and clean. Keeps your skin away from the sun as this can cause more discoloration of the scar tissue making it more noticeable? And make up concealers are and excellent way to blend the scar tissue to match the rest of your skin tone to make it much less noticeable.
