Financial Self-Care Starts with Small Changes

Financial stress is unfortunately a weight that many of us carry. It’s one of those stressors that sneaks into our lives, often without us even realizing how much it’s affecting us.

But here’s the thing: managing that financial burden? It’s actually a powerful form of self-care, even if it doesn’t always feel like it!

Sometimes, even small changes can make a world of difference. One that people often overlook? Switching up your insurance. By finding the best insurance plan for you, you’re not only giving your budget some breathing room, but you’re also gaining a little extra peace of mind. This greater financial security can ease those nagging worries about unexpected expenses, helping you feel more in control of your day-to-day.

And when financial stress isn’t looming quite so heavily, it’s easier to focus on the things you love—whether that’s your work, hobbies, or quality time with loved ones. Plus, with less of that underlying stress, you're less likely to feel burned out or overwhelmed.

Taking small steps to lighten your financial load can make a big difference, giving you the space to recharge and find more balance each day.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars can be frustrating. Pimples themselves are irritating enough — not to mention a less-than-welcome reminder of where they once were.

But what causes acne scars, and can you avoid them?

Unfortunately, sometimes it’s hard to tell if acne is going to leave a scar.

However, the American Academy of Dermatology Association says there are a few things that can make scars more likely to develop after a pimple forms:

  • Deep acne that causes severe inflammation

  • Genetics

  • Picking at the blemish

  • Popping your acne

  • Scratching the pimple

  • Squeezing the pimple

There are also two kinds of scars — raised and depressed (leaving a depression in the skin).

Avoiding messing with your blemishes can help them heal a little easier and prevent scarring. However, if a scar does develop, there are some steps you can take to help them heal.

How To Help Heal Acne Scars

Acne scars are perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of. However, some people want to take steps to help them heal and be a little less noticeable.

If you’re looking to help your scars heal, experts recommend seeing a professional as they can provide care specific to your skin.

Some other steps you can take on your own to help acne scars heal include:

  • Alpha hydroxy acid: Can help remove dead skin cells, exfoliating the skin

  • Lactic acid: Products with lactic acid can help improve skin’s texture and pigmentation, making acne scars less noticeable

  • Retinoids: These can help skin heal more quickly and smooth the appearance of scars

  • Sunscreen: Exposure to the sun can make acne scars more noticeable and darken them

Those with more prominent scarring may find dermatologist services like laser treatments, dermabrasion, or peels provide stronger results.

Remember: Acne scars are a totally normal part of being human. However, if it makes you feel better, simple at-home steps can be a great way to help your skin heal.
