hello everyone and welcome to skincare
with Hiram if you don't know who I am my
name is Hiram and I'm passion about
teaching you how to perfect your skin
carotene so make sure you subscribe to
my channel and hit the notification bell
so that you can see my videos every week
I'm gonna be talking about a topic that
has been so highly requested on my
channel I've seen so many people comment
about this and honestly I really want to
make a video because this is a really
big concern that a lot of people have
I'm going to be talking about how you
yes you can get rid of your acne
scarring as soon as possible because we
don't have time for this [ __ ] okay we
just we gotta go we don't have time for
scarring acne scarring whoo [ __ ] we're
acne scars are rough they're just a
reminder of the horrible days that we
used to have they're just relentless
they won't go away and I'm gonna teach
you guys how you can get rid of them or
the best ways I've found to get rid of
them so let's get into it so acne scars
how do we get rid of them I know you've
probably looked up so many different
recommendations you've heard so many
people who give you advice and I'm
better than all of them obviously but
chances are you already tried what they
recommended and now you're looking for
other options so I'm here to provide
uh-huh now our skin cycles through
itself every 30 to 60 days we're getting
a new layer of skin every single month
or two months depending on how old you
are and when you have acne scarring that
represents a level of damage that's so
deep that your skin is holding on to
that reminder and not letting go kind of
like when you break up with someone and
you still have their pictures you know
it just you just can't let it go but
before we get into the solutions I want
to be able to help you recognize what
type of acne scarring you have because
there's two main types of acne scarring
that you may see in your skin the first
physical scarring this is when you see a
lot of indentation within your skin
you'll see big kind of looks like chunks
were taken out of your skin big marks
anything that you can feel with your
fingers as you brush them across your
skin that's called physical scarring or
what I call physical scarring the second
type of acne scarring is pigment
scarring and this is when you see dark
spots dark areas because of you
previously having acne now don't worry
I'm gonna provide solutions for both of
them before we get into the need the
greedy I'm going to tell you guys one
main tip regardless of what type of
scarring you have that will make the
most difference when it comes to this
issue within your skin and a bunch of
other issues and that is sun protection
when it comes to getting rid of scarring
within your skin you have to stay
protected from the skin and the only way
you can do that is through proper SPF it
is important that with all of the
recommendations that I'm going to give
you you wear SPF every single day that
is so important because sun exposure is
responsible for the majority of problems
that we face within our skin not only
that exposure to the Sun while trying to
get rid of acne scarring can make your
skin worse so it's critical that you
stay out of the Sun or use sun
protection as much as possible and if
you want to see what sunscreens I
recommend for you stay to the end of the
video I talked about all my favorites
have been we good okay let's get into it
so I'm first going to talk about
physical scarring within the skin no
similar to what I was saying before our
skin is constantly producing new skin
every 30 to 60 days our skin will cycle
through itself meaning that we see new
skin cells on our face every 30 to 60
days we're kind of like snakes but not
as cool you know and the first way to do
that is through exfoliation I am a huge
fan of exfoliation especially for any
type of physical scarring because it is
the process of removing dead skin cells
from your face and helping assist your
skin create new skin cells now when I
talk about exfoliation I don't mean like
a scrub I'm talking about chemical
exfoliation chemical exfoliation it
tends to be a lot more effective for
removing scarring within the skin but
also for making sure that you don't
further damage your skin any type of
physical scrub especially when you have
acne scarring
I usually don't recommend because it
could lead to more problems within your
skin while chemical exfoliation is the
best way to go chemical exfoliation will
eat away at all the dead skin cells on
your face and help your skin to be able
to create brand new baby skin that's why
anytime you you do use a chemical
exfoliant your skin will look extra
glowy and extra beautiful because your
skin is pushing new skin to the surface
there are a ton of different chemical
exfoliants and I will go through the
most popular and what I personally
recommend the most popular being the dr.
Dennis gross pads almost every single
person I know of who has physical acne
scarring
recommends the dr. Dennis gross pads
because they have such a transformative
effect on the skin they are really
pricey who really pricey but people will
go on and on and on about the benefits
that the
see within their skin and I want to
mention that to you guys because you may
take some value in that however I have
tried those paths before I will link my
video in the description box below where
I tell you guys all about my thoughts
but I am personally not a huge fan of
dr. Dennis gross paths because of the
certain ingredients that they choose to
formulate their products with the main
one being two natured alcohol those pads
have an extremely high concentration of
denatured alcohol and that tends to be a
really stripping ingredient I personally
have a really bad reaction to the nature
of alcohol but regardless it's not a
good product that you should have within
your skincare so if you are to try those
pads be careful try it with a warning
maybe try a sample see what you think of
it as for the exfoliant I personally
recommend
I love the blue tansy mask buyer before
this mask has proven to be one of the
best for resurfacing my skin every
single time I use it my skin feels so
soft afterwards all the texture is gone
I can literally feel the dead skin cells
being taken off of my skin it is a
wonderful mask and you only have to do
it like two times a week for 15 minutes
it's great I highly recommend it to
everyone out there and especially if you
have sensitive skin like me this is a
great alternative because they tend to
have a lot less irritating ingredients
because herbivore tries to be as
non-toxic as possible within their
ingredient lists and it has an
ingredient called blue tansy which is
great for reducing redness and
irritation within the skin another way
of dealing with physical scarring is
through retinol now if you're not
familiar with retinol it is a very very
powerful ingredient that I highly
recommend to people who are looking to
reverse damage within their skin because
it is one of the only ingredients out
there that is scientifically proven to
reverse damage within the skin which is
really amazing because most skincare is
preventative retinol is reversing
retinol can be extremely sensitizing but
if you use it correctly you can see a
lot of really good benefits for your
skin now my personal favorite retinol is
the drunk elephant 1% retinol I've seen
so many good results within this product
if you want to see my full thoughts my
link will be in the description box
below this retinol is truly in my
opinion unlike any other retinol on the
market I love the ingredients that they
choose to formulate their product with
and I see dramatic results within my
skin but if that's a little too pricey
for you I highly recommend the ordinary
retinol treatment they have a few
different types I recommend starting out
with the least strong one and then
working your way up the great thing
about the ordinary is that it's
super affordable and very effective skin
care and their retinol products are some
of the most popular products that they
have so I definitely recommend giving
those a shot however I want to say as
with any retinol be very careful start
off using it only once a week only at
nighttime and you can work your way up
to more often some people say that you
can use retinol during the day I really
only recommend it during the nighttime
and then making sure you use SPF every
single day because it is a very very
strong ingredient the last thing for
taking care of physical scarring is to
get a smoothing effect as you're using
these treatments on your face I can
understand that you want to reduce the
appearance of the scarring on your face
and the first thing that I would
recommend is an ingredient called
niacinamide which this is an amazing
ingredient for not only hydrating the
skin but really smoothing over uneven
texture within the skin and my personal
favorite product is the ordinary
niacinamide and zinc treatment I've seen
really good results within my skin while
I've used this product and I think you
really could in terms of getting rid of
that physical scarring you see on your
face in addition to this there are some
silicone based products out there that
you may find really beneficial for
covering up your acne scarring silicones
aren't really beneficial for the skin
but they can prove to be effective in
reducing damage to the skin and giving
the skin a smooth surface that's why
products like benefit Porefessional are
so popular because of all the silicones
that they have in it I personally
recommend dimethicone that tends to be
one of the best silicones ingredients
that you can find and it's not going to
do anything amazing for your skin but it
will help it a little bit and just
reduce that appearance so your skin
looks a little more smooth alright now
that we got physical scarring a blow
away I want to talk about pigment
scarring like I said before this is when
you experience a lot of dark spots after
having acne and I personally have
struggled a lot with this often times
when I get a really bad pimple I will
see a dark spot left on the surface of
my skin and it's up to me to take care
of it ASAP because ain't nobody got time
to that now when it comes to getting rid
of those dark spots the first thing I
always recommend is a brightening
treatment and there are a lot of
ingredients out there that proves to be
really beneficial for the skin in terms
of brightening any dark spots that you
see the first I'm going to talk about is
the most recommended when it comes to
acne scarring and dark spots and that's
hydroquinone and you'll see this in
products like from Murad for example
their post acne spot lightening
treatment and other products like that
hydroquinone is such a powerful
ingredient in terms of brightening the
skin not gonna lie every time I've used
hydroquinone I see a dramatic result
within my skin within one to two days
the acne spot will be gone but I do have
to say this is an extremely
controversial ingredient and it is
illegal in many countries around the
world because of its harmful effects
under UV exposure hydroquinone is
typically used in skin whitening
products around the world and I am so
against skin whitening if you truly
believe in that or believe that skin
whitening products will help you I don't
think that's a good route to go it's
extremely harmful to your skin and the
chance that you will get skin problems
and possibly skin cancer is so out of
the roof high that you are putting
yourself in so much risk so when it
comes to hide you can own not my
favorite recommendation I never
recommend it for all over the face I
only recommend it for spots and if you
do not use an SPF with hydroquinone you
will see significant damage within your
skin so be aware of that just wanted to
educate you guys the main ingredient
that I always tend to recommend is a
vitamin C vitamin C is a really good
ingredient for brightening areas of the
face and also has powerful anti-aging
abilities as opposed to hydroquinone
vitamin C is great for putting all over
your face their effects are wonderful
and it protects your skin against damage
every single day there are some amazing
products out there my personal favorite
is either the vino perfect serum by
causally or the drunk elephant vitamin C
serum I've seen positive results from
both of these I like to use the caudally
for spots on my face and I like to use
the drunk elephant for all over my face
vitamin C is very effective but I
understand that sometimes it may not be
strong enough and if you're looking for
one of the strongest products out there
for vitamin C I definitely recommend the
Peter Thomas Roth and vitamin C serum
it's very powerful it has an extremely
high percentage of vitamin C and I only
recommend it for a spot treatment
because it is so strong but I think
that's a good alternative to Hydra Konan
that's much more safe and beneficial for
the skin so in addition to brightening
treatments I also recommend exfoliation
similar to physical scarring because
exfoliation can really just help make
sure you get that damaged skin off your
face and help your body focus on
creating brand-new healthy skin pretty
much any exfoliator will work my
personal favorite I love how I'm talking
about drunk elephants so much but legit
guys drunk elephants one of my favorite
lines out there I just really love them
but for this I recommend the drunk
elephant TLC night serum is a complex of
a bunch of different exfoliating acids
into a nightly serum treatment a little
bit last a long time and its really good
results it was the first drunk elephant
product I ever fell in love with because
the results were so dramatic and I just
really liked it it's a great product for
exfoliating your face in addition to
that the kale yeah you yeah I don't know
how to pronounce it kale yeah you from
crave beauty is also a great chemical
exfoliant that you can use to dissolve
the dead skin cells on your face and
then finally I want to recommend my
favorite sunscreens to you guys because
like I said before sunscreen is the most
important aspect of taking care of your
skin let alone trying to get rid of
scarring and my personal number one
favorite that I found is the sirve
mineral SPF 30 sunscreen
I love the ingredients within this
product I love that it's ocean safe it
feels very light on the skin and there's
a minimal white cast it lasts a long
time and it's just overall a really
great price point product I didn't spend
too much it's effective it doesn't feel
like I'm wearing anything on my face and
I don't feel like you know throughout
the day when I look in the mirror and
I'm like oh I'm wearing a sunscreen it
just looks beautiful on the skin and
it's the best that I've managed to find
so far also besides that I've been using
the Neutrogena SPF for sensitive skin
this one's pretty good because it's
great for people with problems like
eczema or acne but in addition to that
it's also ocean safe which is something
that's really important to me it's a
little bit on the thicker side but
definitely one that I recommend as well
my very last tip that I'm gonna give you
guys if you are having major concerns
and problems with your skin because of
acne scarring if anything just go to a
dermatologist and see what they
recommend while I am a skincare
specialist I am NOT licensed like a
dermatologist would be to provide that
kind of feedback for you and if you
really are concerned just go to a
dermatologist ask his or her advice
they'll be able to give you a lot of
product recommendations and advice for
taking care of your skin and they're
much more educated than I am my hope is
to be able to help you guys find some
solutions but if you really are
concerned dermatologist is the way to go
whew that was a lot of information I'm
kind of impressing myself I was just
like rapid-fire and I haven't even had
coffee what is going on god is good
let me know what you guys think if you
agree with any of my recommendations
or disagree let me know down below feel
free to leave tips and tricks for people
because I know people would be going to
the comment section to be looking for
more advice and a lot of you guys know
way more than I do about skincare so
