00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.029
How I got rid of my scarring.

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.719
You can see I do have a couple of pitted scars.

3
00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:08.079
This was mostly scarring left over,

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.220
you can see like all of the dots,

5
00:00:10.239 --> 00:00:11.750
so it was pretty bad scarring.

6
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.600
This is the skincare that really helped to fade my scars.

7
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:15.760
So most importantly,

8
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.270
your scars aren't gonna fade if you're not wearing SPF.

9
00:00:18.319 --> 00:00:21.120
Wearing SPF prevents your scars from darkening

10
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.709
and prevents your spots from becoming scars.

11
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.639
The Laroche Prose Anelios SPF 50 is the one that

12
00:00:26.639 --> 00:00:29.200
I wore whilst I was feigning my acne scars.

13
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:29.909
So.

14
00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:30.639
In the mornings,

15
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.869
I love to use alpha arbutin either from the ordinary

16
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:35.290
or from the inky list.

17
00:00:35.599 --> 00:00:39.560
A lot of people refer to alpha arbutin as a more potent version of a vitamin C,

18
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:42.840
and this is obviously great because you can help to fade your scars

19
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.990
during the day because obviously you can't really wear exfoliants during the day.

20
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:46.560
So yeah,

21
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:47.630
this in the morning.

22
00:00:47.919 --> 00:00:49.799
And then to get rid of scarring you obviously

23
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.799
need to be doing some sort of exfoliation.

24
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.189
One of the stronger exfoliants I used was Mandelic acid,

25
00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:57.360
but this does have hyaluronic acid in it as well.

26
00:00:57.419 --> 00:00:58.669
This is from the Ordinary.

27
00:00:58.799 --> 00:00:59.919
So this is what it looks like.

28
00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:03.060
Obviously exfoliants increase your skin cell turnover,

29
00:01:03.099 --> 00:01:05.209
so new skin comes through quicker,

30
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:07.389
which will obviously help your scars to fade.

31
00:01:07.699 --> 00:01:09.690
Once I'd healed my skin naturally

32
00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:11.339
and wanted to sort out the scars,

33
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:15.260
I went to my dermatologist and got prescribed tretinoin and clindamycin.

34
00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:17.019
Obviously this is an exfoliant,

35
00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:18.250
a very strong exfoliant,

36
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:20.449
which really helps to increase your skin cell turnover.

37
00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:22.319
So this was great with fading my scars,

38
00:01:22.339 --> 00:01:24.620
but this makes you very sensitive to the sun.

39
00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:27.580
So I wouldn't recommend using this every single day.

40
00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:28.750
You need to wear SPF anyway,

41
00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:32.940
but it's crucial to wear SPF and keep reapplying if you wear this.

42
00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:36.069
Obviously I wouldn't use this on the same nights that I use Mandelic acid.

43
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:37.849
I'd probably use this once a week

44
00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:40.500
and then Mandelic acid 2 to 3 times a week.

45
00:01:40.910 --> 00:01:41.150
But yeah,

46
00:01:41.269 --> 00:01:42.699
I know lots of you ask all the time,

47
00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:45.629
so I just wanted to do another video and I hope you have a lovely day.

48
00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:45.870
Bye.
