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 fenugreek
leaves. 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.
