Ways To Get Rid of Acne Scars
Tips to Get Rid of Acne and its Scarring
It seems that acne scars can be more problematic than acne itself because it take a very long time for the scars to disappear. In fact, many scars remain forever on the surface of your skin. But, if the scars are not big or deep, you might want to consider treating the scars at home with natural treatments.
Here's some home
remedies for scar removal that can bring the glow back to your
skin:
Drink lots of water. Water has amazing
cleansing and rejuvenating properties for the human body.
Water can help to shed off dead skin cells by hydration.
New skin develops quicker and more smoothly when the body is
properly hydrated.
Eating fruits and vegetables provides
an abundance of vitamins and minerals to help rejuvenate the
skin. The juices from fruits and vegetables also make
healthy skin to heal acne scars.
Healing and erasing
scars takes more than just applying creams or oils to the
skin. The body needs healthy foods and essential
nutrients to fight against infections that can complicate acne
scarring. Be sure to include tofu, chicken, soy and fish
in your diet to provide your body the proteins it needs to heal
your skin.
Drinking several glasses of lemon juice
everyday will help your body to shed the dead skin cells at a
faster pace. Healthier skin cells with elasticity will
replace the dead cells.
Rose Hip Oil is another great
home remedy to fight acne scars. The oil has anti-aging
properties that reduce wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin surface
and return it to its natural color.
Aloe Vera gel also
helps get rid of acne scars and makes the skin healthier.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, and is effective to
stop overproduction of sebum that causes acne and acne scars.
Tomatoes also have antioxidant properties to heal damaged
skin. Placing a slice of tomato on your face can quickly
reduce acne scars.
Olive oil is another wonderful
antidote to improve skin condition and reduce acne scars.
Massage the oil on the affected parts of your skin every day to
soften the skin texture and reduce the appearance of acne
scars.
Honey can also be applied on affected parts of
your skin to reduce acne scars and give the skin a youthful
appearance. You can massage honey onto the skin or
consume it in pill form.
Lavender oil is another
natural substance that is widely used in commercial cosmetics.
Lavender has regenerative properties that will make your skin
look fresh and younger.
Rosewater and Sandalwood can be
combined to make a paste to lather on acne scars. Leave
the paste on the skin overnight and wash the skin with cold
water in the morning. Applying this paste regularly can
help to get rid of acne scars quickly.
The best way to
avoid acne scars from occurring is to eat a healthy diet and
exercise regularly. Exercising reduces stress and gets
rid of harmful toxins in the body. Don't expect home
remedies to produce miraculous results overnight; it's not
going to happen! Natural remedies can improve the skin,
but it will take time and persistence. The other situation that
is often unavoidable is genetic inclination toward acne. Teens
generally are susceptible to acne, some worse than others, some
not at all.
Count your blessings if you don't have the
problem, or only to a very minor extent. The good news is, if
you have it, try the above remedies, avoid squeezing (this
creates scars), and tough it out. It usually goes away as you
grow into your twenties.
