One of the most effective ways of treating scars is dermabrasion. The skin is removed with a high speed brush under localized anesthetic in the area. However this cannot be used for ice pick scars and for persons with a dark skin as they will show changes in the pigmentation of the area. Something similar to dermabrasion is microdermabrasion which again removes the skin on the surface but not with high speed brushes but with aluminum oxide crystals. This is not very effective in removing scars unless they are very shallow.
One of the first things that anyone has to learn, even if they have a clear skin and want to maintain it that way, is to have a regular routine of cleaning, toning and moisturizing their skin. Whether you live in the suburbs and are surrounded by fresh air and greenery, of in the midst of pollution, it does not matter. These three steps should be maintained like a ritual. What you use for cleansing and moisturizing largely depends on your skin type. For an oily skin use a cleanser or a mild soap that is not too rich, similarly the moisturizer should also be a light one. If you have a dry skin then use a more creamy face wash and a rich moisturizer. Olive oil is a good cleansing agent and so is yogurt. However if your skin is oily, then use cotton wool dipped in cucumber juice to which a few drops of lime juice has been added. You will have to avoid the lime juice if you have eruptions as this will cause a burning sensation. Cucumber juice is a good astringent too, which can be supplemented with rose water also. As a moisturizer yogurt, honey or fresh cream will work wonders. For those who have acne, honey would be most suitable as this also has healing powers and removes scars.
