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.
