Ingrown hairs happen when the sharp tip of a hair that curls, or grows back into the skin causing the hair to get trapped & inflamed. Ingrown hairs appear as small round bumps, or pus-filled pustules. Ingrown hairs can be itchy, or tender to the touch. Ingrown hair symptoms can be dark spot & hyperpigmentation, especially if the bumps are picked at.

Treat the affected area with AHA's like glycolic acid, lactic acid & a BHA like salicylic acid. They are great chemical exfoliators that aid in hydration & correct hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid, salicylic acid & lactic acid penetrates pores, dissolves sebum & debris to shed dead skin cells & renew skin surface. 💗

Have you ever popped a pimple thinking you "got" it, only to have it come back a few hours later bigger & "angrier" than before? You're not imagining this! That's because the damage happens below the surface of the skin & on the surface as well.

Popping pimples can be very tempting, but TRY TO RESIST THE URGE!! 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ When you pop a pimple, it damages the underlying tissue & can leave your complexion looking worse.

Popping pimples on your face, back, or chest can lead to more breakouts, discoloration, & acne scars. Every time your skin is damaged, there's a possibility tissue will be lost during the healing process. That is how you get depressed or pitted acne scars. The more extensive the damage, the higher the chance of tissue loss.

Even if depressed scars don't develop, you can be left with dark marks known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This occurs when severe inflammation damages cells known as keratinocytes, causing them to release large amounts of a pigment called melanin.

I know it’s hard to stop picking!! But by following these tips, it can help stop this habit!

✨ Apply ice to lessen the inflammation

✨ Try some pimple patches

✨ Put a blemish spot treatment on any new pimples that are forming

Look at these progress pics!!! 😍😍

My client & now friend💕 was coming to me monthly & consistently while also using skin script products at home. Life got in the way so she started to just use her products at home.

1st pic was taken on October 1st 2021, her first visit with me. Fast forward to Sep 26, 2022 & her skin looks amazing!!! Major changes!

Her concerns were acne, texture, blackheads & post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Her PIH has faded away, a huge reduction in acne lesions & blackheads & her skin texture has improved dramatically as well!

Keeping up with your skincare goes a long way with consistency & maintenance because it does not stop when you start to see improvement, you continue taking care of your skin so results can last 💖💖
