Acne scarring home treatments can serve as an
effective alternative to cosmetic and intrusive surgical
procedures in the treatment of mild to moderate acne
scarring. Before applying any of the following acne
scarring home treatments, bear in mind that some acne
scars due to their depth and size cannot be completely
eliminated. In some cases, it may take a surgical
intervention to significantly fade acne scars caused by
severe cystic acne or by inadequate treatment. This is
the main reason why it is so important to prevent acne
in the first place and to treat scars as early as
possible to avoid all the unnecessary agony and costs
involved in the treatment of acne scarring.
Another reason why home treatments for acne scarring
are more preferable than surgical treatments for acne
scarring and are recommended even by several
dermatologists and naturopaths is that conventional acne
scarring treatments such as laser acne treatments can
cause unwanted and sometimes permanent side effects and
irreversible damage to the skin. Thee are in fact
several natural home remedies, which are excellent for
treating mild to moderate scars and marks and are also
very cheap and can easily be found in your own kitchen
or in your local heath food store.
The following are recommended acne scarring home
treatments:
Lemon juice can be extremely effective at lightening
dark spots caused by acne. Simply cleanse the mark or
scar with a good antibacterial soap or just water and
dab one teaspoon of lemon juice into a cotton ball and
apply on your red marks and spots. Rinse after ten
minutes. Make sure you use a good sunscreen after you
have applied the lemon juice mixture.
Another great can scar home treatment is baking soda.
Baking soda functions as a homemade microdermabrasion
treatment. Simply mix one teaspoon of baking soda with
about two teaspoons of mineral water and gently apply
the mixture to your face and rub in circular motion.
Rinse after sixty seconds. This will also leave your
skin smooth and silky.
Cucumber juice, papaya skin and olive oil are also
very effective at treating marks and scars left from
acne. A highly recommended at home acne scar treatment
is using sandalwood and rose water. Simply mix the two
into a paste and apply the mixture on the affected
areas. Rinse with water after the mixture dries on your
face.
Some of the best home acne scar treatments I have
personally used with great success were: MSM and Alpha
lipoic acid. These will almost completely remove those
blotchy red marks (post-inflammatory hyper
pigmentation). Combine the above with Rosa Mosqueta oil
and antiseptic manuka honey and you got yourself an
beatable army to win your battles against even the most
stubborn acne scars.
Now that you know how to treat your acne scars using
simple and cheap home acne scarring treatments, keep in
mind that especially if you still suffer from acne, the
best practice for avoiding additional acne scars and
make your wounds heal faster is to fix the internal
cause of acne. The holistic way has been proven to
naturally neutralize the internal environment that
encourages acne formation. By eliminating the
possibility of future breakouts, you are also preventing
additional scarring. The wisest choice would be to use
the above acne scarring home treatments while taking an
honest effort to cure and prevent future acne
formation.
