Post-acne scarring -- those reddish marks that appear after your skin heals from a blemish -- is often associated with more severe conditions like cystic acne. However, did you know that even mild acne can damage the skin and create scars? Scarring from acne forms due to damaged skin tissue, typically caused by blemishes. When a blemish erupts, the bacteria from the blemish is exposed and destroys healthy skin tissue. Your skin attempts to repair the broken tissue using collagen, a naturally occurring protein found in the body that lends flexibility and strength to your skin. Unfortunately, this repair mechanism cannot fully restore your skin’s original look or texture pre-blemish, thus resulting in scarring. The most common type of scarring left by acne is atrophic, characterized by depressions in the skin which form due to tissue damage and collagen loss. Treating acne early on and working to prevent further breakouts is an effective way of protecting your skin from post-acne scarring. If left untreated, such scarring can become permanent, with discoloration and poor skin texture affecting the health of your skin. Fortunately, even if you can’t treat acne in its earlier stages, you can treat post-acne scarring using products rich in natural botanicals, oils and extracts.
