Hey guys, i realise i've been absent the past few days, but don't worry! I've had good reason. I've been testing a product for you secretly - But don't tell anyone (Shhh!) I should have a complete review ready for you guys in the next day or two, so sit tight!
But until then i thought i'd fill you in on some essential information - Continuing on from our little acne scars posts. I'm going to give to you 5 tips to help prevent, as well as heal your acne scars fast. So here we go!
Zinc Supplements - Zinc's major benefit is its role in the skin rebuilding process. It helps produce the protein keratin, which helps your body to heal wounds and build new layers of skin. Not only this, but it has several anti-oxidant properties that help get rid of bacteria, which not only helps prevent acne, but also, helps to keep your scars clean, and heal faster.
A handy tip - If you crush zinc supplements, mix them with some moisturizer, and then rub it into your scars, its been proven to help speed up healing. Cool eh?
Don't drink alcohol - Or at the very least, don't drink as much. When you have a wound, your body rushes to repair it with healing cells in the blood. However, if you've been drinking, the alcohol in your blood stream slows the process down, which in turn slows down the whole healing process. So maybe next time your out drinking, consider having a pint of water instead.
Water - Speaking of, your body is made up of a huge amount of water, roughly 80% to be exact. If your bodies running low on water, the healing process if slowed down again. A doubly good reason to drink water.
Stress - When your stressed its been found that you product lower levels of interleukin-beta, which is another essential substance in the wound healing process. Reduce your stress, and up your interleukin-beta, for much faster results.
And finally,
Detoxification - Your body will always be affected by what you put in it, and it often shows via your skin. So for best scar healing results, try eatting a good balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding junk food, which will fill your body with that nasty toxins that cause acne in the first place. Do all this and you'll be in much better shape for scar healing.
Hope all those tips helped, i'll be back to you soon with that top secret product review, so keep checking back!
