~Treat acne scars with home remedies.~


Acne scars occur when spots become inflamed/picked at/ or don't heal properly. We can't all afford to purchase scaring crèmes at our local drugstores so here are some things that you can use in the comfort of your own home to get rid of acne and acne scars! ^____^
**IMPORTANT NOTICE: Remember to always consult with your doctor/dermatologist before trying any of these home remedies. You may be allergic or could possible make your acne/acne scars worst, and of course we wouldn't want that D;. Also, these remedies aren't made for severe acne/acne scars, these treatments are made for people with minor blemishes.*

  •  Organic Olive oil is truly a miracle substance. It does not only make your food taste better, it also improves the condition of your skin and reduces your acne scars. Massage the oil on affected parts of your skin every day. It has moisturizing properties that soften the texture of your skin and reduce the prominence of your acne scars. CON: Be careful, olive oil is known to sometimes clog pores which can lead to more breakouts. So maybe use this on one area of your skin, and see how it reacts to it.


  • Lemon Juice. Apply the juice directly on your acne scars using a cotton ball. Let your skin soak up the lemon juice for 25-30 minutes before washing it off with water. Lemon juice improves the appearance of dark acne scars and blemishes by lightening them. Your skin will be more prone to sunburn after using lemon juice on your skin, so therefore wear sunscreen if you plan on going out in the sun after.

  • Aloe Vera is a commonly used natural remedy to cure acne scars. (I'm currently using this on my acne scars, I'll be writing a review in a month to tell you about my results.^^) The Aloe Vera plants are famous for their magically ability to help heal scars and wounds. The juice of the Aloe Vera is very useful for helping to heal acne scars as well as to fight breakouts when they do occur. By applying the juice on a regular basis, you can erase the signs of bad acne over time. In my experience, I have used this on sunburns, and it works wonders! It toke away the peeling, and itchy burning feeling so fast! Best plant ever (;

  • Egg Whites. Once you have made sure you are not allergic to eggs, apply 1-2 white of egg to your face as a Facial Mask and leave over night if comfortable, if not wash off before going to bed.
    This is helpful in reducing acne inflammation and heals acne scars. You can add a few drops of lemon if you can tolerate it.
 
  • Tomato And Cucumbers. Slice up a tomato and place it over your face or form a paste and apply on the face. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A that hinders overproduction of sebum that causes acne. Vitamin A also has antioxidant qualities that refreshes and renews scarred and damaged skin. Cucumbers smooth out the skin and tighten the pores.
 
  • Honey is a natural moisturizer that can help in treating acne scars and can be applied as a facial mask. It contains enzymes also which help to heal acne scars. You can also add a few drops of fresh lemon juice. Some people sleep overnight with the honey mask, but that might be a little messy!
    Place an old towel over your pillow.
 
  • And of course, Water. Water is one of the most commonly used homemade remedies for acne scars. Water is the essence of our skins health and it becomes even more important when you are trying to reduce acne scars. It helps the skin to clean the toxins, create new skin cells and preserve elasticity. For adult person it is recommended to drink at least 80 ounces of filtered water every day in order to preserve healthy and fresh skin. :D

    Don't forget to always eat a healthy balanced diet. I'm sure we have all heard this before, eat your fruits and veggies but eating healthy can really go a long way for not only on our skin but inside our bodies as well! ^0^

    **Let me know if any of these work (give it atleast a month or when you start seeing results).
    Or if they didn't help at all :/ I'm really interested in hearing your experiences or if you tried other methods of fixing your acne scars! :3
