Conquer Your Acne Scars With These Simple Yet Effective Tips
We’ve all been there.
Waking up in the morning to stumble through to the bathroom and have a good look in the mirror, only to see whiteheads that appear to have popped up overnight. That’s when we have to ask ourselves the age-old question, “To squeeze or not to squeeze…” (Experts say not to, FYI.)
Joking aside, spots and other blemishes always seem to arrive at the worst possible times, like before a date or a job interview, just to mess with us.

Fix #5: Fill Up That Water Bottle
This is the simplest thing on our list, but often the most overlooked.
Your skin is about 60-65% water. That means proper hydration is critical for healthy skin. Drinking enough water keeps skin looking smooth and bright and reduces the appearance of scarring.
It can also help prevent acne flare-ups. Aim for eight glasses of water daily, swapping out soda for H2O when possible. Properly hydrating also helps to flush out toxins and keeps your complexion clear, so you can face the day with confidence.
