One thing you shouldn't do to deal with acne scars is load up your face with masks or fancy lotions - these won't help and may irritate your skin further, making the scars red and even more noticeable You should also avoid tanning to make scars less noticeable - though the sun may temporarily make your skin look clearer, it actually clogs pores and can lead to premature wrinkles and skin cancer later on

The choice of a mild cleansing agent is important in the adjunctive management of various skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, photoaging, retinoid-induced irritant dermatitis, and sensitive skin There are 3 major categories of cleansing agents: soaps, synthetic detergents, and lipid-free cleansing agents The irritancy potential of cleansing agents is a function of a number of factors, including the pH, type of surfactants, and amount of skin residue Furthermore, the presence of humectants and emollients also can influence the overall mildness of a cleansing agent Agents with slightly acidic or neutral pH, nonionic surfactants, and minimal skin residue may be preferable for people who are at increased risk for irritancy reactions
