Pimples & Scars: The Do’s and Don’ts You Need to Know!

Breakouts and acne scars can be frustrating — especially when you’re doing everything right (or at least, you think you are!). The truth is, small mistakes in your daily routine can make a big difference in how your skin heals. 

At Phimedy, we believe that clear skin starts with the right habits — and dermatologist-approved care. So, here’s your ultimate guide to the Do’s and Don’ts for pimples and acne scars, straight from the skincare experts.

🌿 DO’S

✅1. Keep Your Face Clean — But Gently! 

Cleanse your skin twice a day using a mild, sulfate-free face wash. Over-cleansing can strip your skin of natural oils, causing more breakouts.

➡️ Try: Phimedy Radiance Boost Cleanser (100 ml) — gentle, purifying, and pH-balanced.

✅2. Use Non-Comedogenic Products

Make sure your skincare and makeup products are labeled “non-comedogenic” — meaning they won’t clog pores.

✅3. Apply Sunscreen Daily

Sunscreen prevents post-acne marks from turning darker.

➡️ Try: Phimedy Sol Protect Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++, your shield against UV and screen damage.

✅4. Moisturize Regularly

Even oily or acne-prone skin needs moisture! Hydration helps your skin repair and prevents excess oil production.

➡️ Try: Phimedy H2O Boost Moisturiser for lightweight hydration.

✅5. Treat Pimples with Targeted Actives

Look for products with Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, or Azelaic Acid to treat and calm breakouts.

➡️ Try: Phimedy Absolute Glow Serum — fights acne marks and improves skin texture.

✅6. Stay Consistent with Your Routine

Skin healing takes time — so stick to your routine for at least 4–6 weeks before expecting visible results.

🚫 DON’TS

❌1. Don’t Pop or Pick Pimples

It may feel tempting, but popping pimples can cause inflammation, infection, and permanent scars.

❌ 2. Don’t Over-Exfoliate

Scrubbing harshly or using too many acids can irritate the skin and worsen scarring. Stick to gentle exfoliation 2–3 times a week.

❌ 3. Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Skipping SPF will make acne marks darker and slower to fade — even indoor light can worsen pigmentation!

❌ 4. Don’t Sleep with Makeup On

Sleeping with makeup traps oil and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and new breakouts.

❌ 5. Don’t Self-Medicate

Using random creams or home remedies like toothpaste or lemon juice can damage your skin barrier. Always use dermatologist-approved products designed for acne care.

✨ Expert Tip:

Combine gentle cleansing, hydration, and targeted treatment for best results. If scars persist, visit PHI Clinic for dermatologist-recommended procedures like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or PRP therapy to improve skin texture.
