No Scars Here
What's worse than having a pimple? Being left with a mark after that pesky blemish has come and gone. Find out how to stop breakouts from leaving a trace.
Step 1: Keep the Area Moisturised
We all know it's hard to resist popping a spot! But once you've done the deed, you need to take precautions to avoid scarring. An antibiotic ointment will keep the spot hydrated and protected from dirt and bacteria. It will stop inflammation, so try Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment + Pain, Itch, Scar £9.99
Step 2: Use SPF On The Regular
You already know you need sun protection but when a pimple is healing, its time to amp it up. Covering the area in sunscreen can help minimise dark spots. This stick is easy to reapply every couple of hours if you're outdoors. Try Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 45 Sunscreen Targeted Protection Stick £8.99
Step 3: Treat While You Sleep
Once the swelling is completely behind you, use a silicone sheet to prevent scarring. Just cover the spot with one of the clear patches every night for a week or two. Whilst sleeping, it works to soften the texture of skin and fade discolouration. Try Scar Away Silicone Daily Discs £20 for 30 discs.
