5 Natural Home Remedies to Eliminate Acne Scars

You shouldn't pop your pimples! Well, most of us have ignored advice and we have the acne scars to prove it! Acne scars are a nightmare to deal with so here are some natural remedies to eliminate acne scars so that you can get your smooth and even skin tone back.

Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is made by bees that feed on the manuka or tea tree plant in certain parts of New Zeealand. Active manuka honey has more antibacterial properties than normal honey and applying it to the face twice daily will reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Lemon Juice

The citric acid found in lemons has natural antibacterial and skin lightening properties. Apply the juice of a lemon twice daily and wash off after 15-20 minutes to fade acne scars. Lemon juice can dry out the skin so be sure to use a moisturizer afterwards.

Sandalwood and Rose Water

Create a paste with equal parts sandalwood powder and rose water and apply a thin layer to the face. Once it has completely dried (at least one hour or overnight if you can), use wet fingers to massage into your skin for a few minutes and then wash off. Sandalwood has a calming effect on the skin and has been used for thousands of years for many skin ailments.

Fresh Cucumber

Extract the juice from a cucumber with a juicer or a blender and use a cotton ball to apply to the skin. Like lemon, cucumber has natural skin lightening properties but it is not acidic so it won't dry out the skin and it can be left on the face for several hours.

Baking Soda

Mix a handful of baking soda with a sprinkle of water and mix to make a thick paste. Apply the mixture on your face and massage in for up to a minute before rinsing off. The paste acts as a gentle exfoliator and will remove any dead skin and fade any discolorations.

Try these natural remedies if you are trying to eliminate acne scars (not all at once!) and you will see improvements in just a few weeks. Natural remedies can take longer than other methods so if you want faster results, you may want to try a skin lightening product that targets acne scars.
