Do you know what’s worse than acne breakouts? The aftermath- acne scars. We all know that acne scars are frustrating and don’t go away easily on their own.
Looking for some home remedies for acne scars? We have brought to you the only guide you will ever need on DIY remedies for your fading acne scars.
- Aloe Vera
The antioxidants in aloe vera are known to reduce swelling and redness. You can either use store-bought aloe vera gel or just scrape the pulp off the leaf from your indoor aloe vera plant and apply it on your scar.
We recommend that you cover it with some cling film so that it doesn’t get wiped off and gets nicely absorbed into your skin.
- Coconut Oil
Scars heal faster when your skin is well-hydrated and moisturised. What better way to moisturise your skin than to lather your skin with coconut oil? Coconut oil contains omega fatty acids which deeply penetrate your skin and replenishes it and gives a natural glow to your face.
However, make sure that you don’t use too much coconut oil on your skin if you have oily skin as it might accelerate your acne breakout.
- Baking Soda
Wondering how baking soda can help to get rid of stubborn acne scars? Baking soda balances your pH and it acts as a natural exfoliator. Baking soda helps to get rid of the dead skin cells on your face and makes your face look fresh and youthful.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
This natural ingredient is an all-rounder and it can be used to treat multiple skin woes. To treat your acne scars and to make them vanish, mix apple cider vinegar with little honey and apply it on your acne scars. Keep it for about 10 minutes. You can use this natural remedy thrice a day for the best results.
- Honey
Honey doesn’t just deeply moisturise your skin but it also has an amazing property that stimulates your skin’s cell regeneration process. What does this mean? It means that honey helps to get radiant and baby-soft skin with minimum effort.
You can either use honey as it is or mix it with other natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar, lemon, or turmeric and make a DIY homemade pack to use for your acne scars.
- Lemon
Lemon lightens your acne scars like nothing else and hence it is often called a natural bleach. Lemon has alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) which help your skin heal faster and look radiant and glowing. Lemon also gives your skin its lost elasticity and makes it look supple and smooth.
Rub lemon juice on your acne scars and leave it for about 10-15 minutes before you rinse with lukewarm or cold water for the best results.
Apricot oil, lavender oil, turmeric, tea tree oil, shea butter, rosehip seed oil, and nutmeg are some other natural ingredients that help to get rid of acne scars.
So, which of these home remedies are you most excited to try? Make sure that you do a patch test on the inside of your arm before you try out a new DIY remedy on your face for precaution.
