how long does it take for acne scars to disappear
If a pore gets clogged up, closes, and bulges out from the skin, that's a whitehead If a pore clogs up but stays open, the top surface can get dark and you're left with a blackhead Sometimes the walls of the pore are broken, allowing sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells to get under the skin This causes a small, red infection called a pimple Clogged-up pores that open up deep in the skin can lead to bigger infections known as cysts
First steer away from shaving creams that are oily and choose one for sensitive skin if available. Then moisten facial or other hair with warm water, apply the shaving cream and lather well. Shave with a sharp (not dull) blade. Note when shaving, use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure ones that can irritate acne-prone areas. And go with the flow or “grain;” in other words, adapt to downward, lateral, angular or upward swipes, for a smoother shave with less nicks and irritating backward motions. Experiment with different razors, both electric and disposable, with single- double- or triple-edged (mach III) heads to see which works best for you. And try shaving in a warm shower for better results. For after shaving applications, try toning to stop bacteria dead in its tracks before it gets into your open follicles. Here are some suggestions: try antibiotic gel or lotion, witch hazel, Dalacin T, a mild alcohol-free toner, Benzoyl Peroxide in gel form and Salicylic Acid in a gel.

Tip: thoroughly clean your face and any other areas where cosmetics are applied daily, especially if used when combined with exercising or other activities that promote sweating, where there is the opportunity for the chemicals to be absorbed or soaked up into your pores.
It has been suggested that a low-glycemic index diet may alleviate acne and this hypothesis is currently being investigated in a long-term dietary intervention study A short-term, live-in study was designed to further investigate this link and to provide information on the short-term effects of altered macronutrient levels
