Home Remedy: Erase Acne scars!

Acne scars can make you feel gross and ucky! So I have done some research to find some home remedies and store remedies to erasing those little (or sometimes big) boogers! Just so this post isn't the length of a short novel, I'm gonna split it into 2 parts, the home remedies part and the store remedies part! Since i love home remedies, I'll start with that!!

Here are some pictures of my scars.. they have lightened since I have gotten my acne under control!

Some of those are freckles too haha!

I found a lot of these so pick which one sounds best to you!

~Lemon juice: this can help bleach the scars!

~Pure aloe vera: you can either take this straight from the plant or buy pure aloe vera gel/juice to rub on the scarred area

~Apply honey like a face mask! Let it set for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with cold water! This is supposed to be a great way to remove acne scars (and give your skin a beautiful glow too!)... I'm going to try this one as soon as I post this!

~Cucumber is very soothing to the skin.. so take the juice from crushing one up and put it on the scarred area! (Or your whole face!) Wash it off after 10 minutes with cool water!

~I have heard about this one a lot but never tried it! Mix 1 tablespoon of sour cream (fat free for oily skin!), 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon grind oatmeal, and a few drops of lemon juice.. mix it up real good and use it like a face mask! 10 minutes and rinse! (sounds gross but supposedly works wonders!!)

~Mix sandalwood with a few drops of rosewater until you have a paste... apply it and keep it on overnight, then wash off in the morning! This too is supposed to be wonderful!

~Slice up a tomato and rub it on your face! Tomato's are rich in Vitamin A, which actually can help prevent acne! But this vitamin is great for refreshing and renewing scarred/damaged skin... a.k.a. your acne scarred skin!

~Massage olive oil (jojoba oil would be good too!) into the scarred area!!

~Make a mask of tomato and cucumber! The two together are a super team!

Over time scars do fade! But it's never as quick as we want them too! The best way to get rid of your acne scars is to prevent them! Take good care of your skin, and when you do get a blemish, leave it alone! Don't pick at them! I know it's tempting, but just don't touch them!

I hope this helps some of us with our acne scars! I know they are things that make us feel less beautiful than we really are... but remember: You are beautiful!! So so soooo beautiful!!

Beautiful people, we all have flaws,
