How To Remove Acne Scars Naturally
ACNE, one of the most common problem that everyone has to struggle with (Except for the lucky few) at certain points of their life. Often, we will be tempted to pick at them which leaves ugly scars which are difficult to remove.
Here are some of the natural effective ways that I have tried before which of course would take longer as compare to commercial products but are definitely cheaper and gentler for our skin.
1. Egg White

Best Used: 2-3 times a week
Step 1: Whisk 2 egg whites until they turn fluffy.
Step 2: Spread the egg whites on to your skin with your fingers or brush ( remember to wash your hands before !) concentrating on the problem areas.
Step 3: Let the egg whites sit for 15-20 minutes ( It will become tight and harden )
Step 4 : Rinse with warm water
Step 5: Apply Toner to balance pH of skin and close up the pores, Serum to improve richness of skin and moisturiser to maintain suppleness of skin
2. Lemon
This is the method that works the best for me !
Lemon juice contains large quantity of citric acid, lactic and glycolic acids and Alpha Hydroxy Acids or also known as AHAs which are commonly found in many beauty products.
Lemon juice also removes dead skin cells and counter hyper pigmentation which helps in lightening acne scars.
Best used : 2-3 times a week
Step 1 : Wash your face with regular cleanser
Step 2 : Squeeze lemon juice into a clean bowl
Step 3: Dab cotton ball into lemon juice and dab it onto acne scars
Note: There may be slight stinging effect. Discontinue use if skin turns red.
3. Aloe Vera (Fresh)

Best Used: 4 times a weekStep 1: wash your face with regular cleanser
Step 2: Cut off a quarter of aloe vera and slit it into halves.
Step 3: Rub the inner side of aloe vera ( the side with the slimy gel ) onto face.
There is a second way of using Aloe Vera- Mixing it with Honey.

GOODBYE ACNE SCARS-----
With home remedies, I personally couldn't get rid of my acne scars on the face. A Toronto fraxel procedure actually made these scars go away. The treatment was quite expensive but I didn't regret the money spent on it. I was really happy when I could say goodbye to acne scars forever!!!:)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
DeleteThank you for sharing!
I have done laser treatment before for acne scar treatment before too. Can't deny that the time taken to lighten the scars are definitely faster as compared to natural methods but the cost are too expensive hence I decided to try our various natural methods.
Lucky for me, after regular applications of natural methods,the scars did fade off at a much lower cost =) But of cos the time taken is longer hence patience is really is the key to seeing results from natural methods.
Thank you for the comment ! =)
