Acne scars
If any of you have happened to be
unfortunate enough to have
suffered from acne, either now in
the present, or in the past, you’ll
know just how badly this awful
affliction can affect you, both
physically, and psychologically. It is
a condition which makes individuals
extremely self conscious about their
appearance and how they look and
can be difficult to treat and get rid
of. Even if you now happen to have
gotten rid of your acne, in some
cases, the scars left behind can be
unsightly to say the least. If you
yourself happen to suffer from acne
scarring then fear not, because in
this article we’ll take a look at five
simple, yet effective home
remedies to help you rid yourself
of any unsightly acne scarring you
may be suffering with.
Sandalwood and Rose water paste : This is especially simple as it is
literally, not surprisingly,
sandalwood and rose water,
combined together until a thick
paste has been formed. Once you
have the desired consistency,
simply apply it to the affected area,
and wait, the longer the better. If
you can tolerate it, then apply the
paste like a face mask before bed,
and leave it on overnight. This isn’t
a super quick fix, so you will be
required to apply the face mask for
a prolonged period of time, until
you notice an improvement in your
skin.
Fenugreek leaf paste : Another completely natural
treatment for acne scars is
Simply make a
paste out of ground up fenugreek
seeds and a bit of water, and apply
to your face like a face mask.
Alternatively, you can boil up some
fenugreek seeds in some water,
blend together, and apply the mix
to your face once it has cooled
down. Again leave the paste for as
long as you can tolerate, and repeat
the process as necessary.
Olive oil : This wonderful oil, derived from the
humble olive is simply fantastic for
a number of health related issues,
including the treatment of acne
scars. Massage the oil onto the
affected area daily for a number of
weeks, or even months. The oil acts
like a natural moisturizer that
softens the texture of your skin, and
makes the acne scars much less
prominent.
Aloe Vera : When it comes to the treatment of
skin related disorders, few natural
remedies can top the medicinal
properties of Aloe Vera.
Commonly used as a natural
remedy to help treat scars and
wounds, it’s no wonder it’s so
effective when treating unsightly
acne scars. Simply get your hands
on some Aloe Vera juice (available
at most good health stores, or the
internet), and apply to your skin
every day if possible. By doing this
you’ll be able to drastically reduce
the level of acne scarring, and help
combat any future acne breakouts
in the future.
Lemon juice : If you happen to suffer from darker acne scars, then lemon juice is for you. Apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to the affected area, and wait until the skin has absorbed it all. Once it has indeed all been absorbed, rinse it off with cold water. Lemon juice helps combat dark acne scars and blemishes by lightening them so they’re much less obvious.
