Get Rid of Acne Scars at Home

The pain associated with acne can last long after your last pimple has disappeared. Many people are plagued with acne scars. Like acne, the scars left behind can take a long time to heal unless you do something about it. There are many options available to get rid of acne scars, some involve a doctor or certified esthetician, and there are some that you can do easily at home, at a much less cost.

Cosmetic surgeons can use laser surgery to get rid of acne scars, but the price is somewhat limiting for most people. Estheticians are certified to use dermabrasion or chemical peels to help get rid of old tough scar tissue. The treatments you can do at home are similar to what an esthetician does, at a fraction of the cost.

Any time you have a scar it is from damage to the skin and its ability to be soft and supple. Collagen is the substance in our skin that gives our skin those qualities. The first step in any skin routine should be to have a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and vitamin C so we produce more collagen. Being sure to get adequate intake of water is also a vital necessity in skin care.

Now that we have talked about taking care of your skin from the inside, lets discuss a few ways to help speed up time and get rid of the damaged, tough skin from the outside. There is a product you can find in most health stores that will start the process of removing the top layer of skin gently, lava soap. Another couple of things you should get are sandalwood powder, rose water and aloe vera gel. Once you get home with your goodies, make a paste of the sandalwood powder using the rose water. Wash your face with the lava soap gently, then before going to bed put the paste on the scars and go to sleep. In the morning wash off the paste with cool water. If your skin seems too dry where the paste was wash it off after a few hours the next time. Your skin may be a bit sensitive, so use some aloe vera gel as a moisturizer.

Use this treatment 2 times a week for a few weeks and you should start to notice you are starting to get rid of acne scars.
