Home-Made Cures For Acne Scars

By Toby Carr


Acne scars are the marks that are left after the acne is dried. Acne is one of the most typical skin illnesses. It is due to overstimulated sebaceous glands by hormones called androgens and excess production of sebum, which may cause blocking of sebaceous glands.

There are different kinds of acne scars like ice-pink scars, hypertrophic scars and atrophic scars. Some acne scars are mild and can be simply treated, while some scars become permanent and are difficult to remove. There are many treatment possibilities for acne scar removal, including topical medications, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, punch excision and grafting, chemical peels and fillers ; however , acne scars can be handled with some home remedies.

Homemade treatments include the utilization of some generally available ingredients for acne scar removal. Following is the list of some cures that may effectively reduce acne scars.

Lime Juice : Lime juice is a citric acid, which helps to take away the dead epidermal cells and promotes the growth of new skin cells. Apply lime juice immediately on the acne scars with assistance from a cotton ball. It lightens and improves the appearance of dark acne scars.

Sandalwood and Rosewater paste : This is a good home cure for acne scars. Sandalwood has cooling and calming effect on the scarred skin. Prepare a thick paste of sandalwood and rosewater and immediately apply on the scarred area. Leave it on for around an hour, before washing off with water.

Tomato mask : Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which prevents excess production of sebum that causes acne. Tomatoes also have antioxidising properties, which help to boost the damaged and scarred skin. Make thin bits of a tomato and place them over your face like a mask. Leave it on for about 15 mins and then wash off with water.

Cucumber and tomato mask : This face mask is another favored home remedy used removing acne scars. Prepare a paste of cucumber and tomato and use it uniformly over the face. This cure helps tighten the skin pores and minimizes the visibility of acne scars.

Ice : Rub ice cubes over the face for roughly 10-15 mins. Ice will help to tighten the skin pores and cut back the acne scars.

Homemade treatments mixed with a well balanced diet, regular exercises and hygienic habits can help to get rid of acne scars and keep your skin healthy and problem-free.
