Acne scars in darker dkin
Acne scars can be particularly stubborn on darker skin, but there are effective ways to reduce their appearance. Understanding the best ways to prevent acne scars in darker skin and using the right products can make a significant difference in your skin.
Understanding acne scars on darker skin
Darker skin naturally produces more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. When the skin is damaged by acne, it can lead to hyperpigmentation, where the skin darkens in spots. This means that even after acne heals, dark spots or scars can linger, making them more noticeable.
These dark spots, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), are common in darker skin tones and can take longer to fade. For example, after a pimple heals in darker skin, a dark brown or black mark where the pimple was. These marks can persist for months or even years if they are not prevented properly.
It's important to use skincare products that address both the texture and pigmentation of the scars. Here is some advice to consider:
