Scars fading?

No woe is you! We don’t think that, we all pick and poke where we shouldn’t. The good news is now that you are cutting back on doing it, you can gel the scars you have. When you are home, put pimple patches or regular hydrocolloid bandages on the actively healing spots, and when you sleep as well (we can pick in our sleep!). For the healed scars, I would talk to a dermatologist about the possibility of a retinoid and /hydroquinone to fade the scars. If you don’t have access to a dermatologist, then an over the counter retinol will work too. Also, be sure to wear SPF, as the sun can darken them. In terms of today, do you or anyone you live with have a cover up stick? Honestly, some good concealer dabbed right in these will hide them easily. Pick one up that matches your skin tone and apply a small dot on top. You can also buy some loose power to set the concealer as well. You’ve got this!
