Home Remedies for Your Acne Scars
Many people have an aversion to using chemicals on their skin and will be relieved to know that there are many natural methods to remove or diminish acne scars. Proper skin care is important with daily cleansing and exfoliating. Create your own special cleanser by adding a quarter teaspoon of baking soda to a gentle cleanser to create your own acne remedy. Using products with botanical extracts that lighten pigmentation can actually soothe irritated skin at the same time.
Some of these extracts are from blueberries, raspberries, licorice and even Vitamin C. Or you can place lemon and peach slices to clean dry skin for 20 minutes once a week to refresh your skin and reduce discoloration. A mild chemical called hydroquinone suppresses melanin production allowing scars to fade to a normal skin tone. It is often sold as a 2 percent solution in age spot and pigment lighting products. Removing dead skin cells from the surface skin through a micro dermabrasion evens out skin tone and generates collagen, the main ingredient in healthy skin.
