Homemade Treatments to Clear Acne Scars
Acne is a skin problem that can give worries to both men and women of all age groups. There are many products available in market to clear acne scars. But I will recommend either herbal acne cream or homemade acne treatment. The choice is yours.
One thing you should keep in mind before using home treatments for acne is they are not a miracle and will not give you clear face in one day. But the best thing is that they are free from side effects and will not harm your skin anyway. If you want a quick result or do not have time for home treatments then you have another good choice of herbal acne skin care creams or lotions.
How to Clear Acne Scars?
This article emphasis on natural ways to clear acne scars. Homemade treatments are one of the best possible methods to clear acne scars at home.
Clear Acne Scars 1: Lemons
In case of dark acne scars, you can use lemon juice to fade mark. First, cleanse the acne marks with water. Dab one teaspoon of lemon juice into a cotton ball and smooth it over the acne scars. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Use caution with lemon juice because it can make your skin photosensitive. So be certain to use a sunscreen on any area you treat with lemon juice prior to going out into the sun.
Clear Acne Scar 2: Baking Soda
Another homemade treatment to clear acne scar is the use of baking soda. Exfoliate your skin with soda. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water. Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.
Clear Acne Scars 3: Olives
After exfoliating your skin with baking soda, massage with olive oil onto your face. Acne scaring can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness. The moisturizing nutrients in the olive oil will penetrate the skin to deeply moisturize the skin and soften the skin’s texture.

Question…
What are the best treatment to clear acne scars?
I have been battling acne on and off since I was 17 and used a few products (retin-A and otc) and I use proactiv now and it works great. I also combine monthly chemical peels to keep my face clear.
Okay, my acne is gone but my face has some scarring. Its not too bad (just a little red or brown here and there) but sometimes I wish I could go out without make up a little confident. Ihear microdermabrasions were good but the lady who does my chemical peels said it just clears away the top layer of skin and not removing scarring. But isnt that what a scar is? Any advice? Please and Thank you

What works for me is exfoliating.
Answer by sexymalie
I used an exfoliator for twice a week when i had acne scars. And also it’s good to use a moisturizer with an spf so when you go out in the sun, your scars wont get dark.

And I’m not sure if it works like they say it does, but I’ve heard of some kind of laser treatment that they can do to remove or reduce the appearance of scars. You can look that up on the internet. Or even ask a dermatologist.
I hope I helped.
Exfoliating works, if you keep using proactiv then it will also heal scars. If you have the money there is lasering you can do. My aunt did it and it worked great!
regularly washing face, reduce the intake of oily foods and sweets, and increase the intake of fruit juice and green leafy vegetables, that should surely do the magic
This may seem weird coming from a 14 year old but…
I had scars too and they went away in a little less than 4 months. (And was later voted “Best Skin” at my Junior High School) Go out to Wal Mart or something and buy some ‘Vita K’, Vitamin K or D pills and/or cream. Use that or ‘Body Clear’ creme (which is a mixture of both) and works miracles.
You shouldn’t try to expose yourself to too much sunlight, but you should get a daily exposure (about 15 min.). Drink lots of water, eat lots of nuts (walnuts are best), and any kind of pure fruit juices and you can eat veggies like cucumbers, celery, fennel,chard, and romaine lettuce.
You should also find a good facial scrub or masque to remove dead skin and oils that may keep your scars from healing properly.
(I know all of this from experience and research. I had bad skin at 12 and I stopped it, MYSELF at age 13. (about 4 months ago) Your body needs certain bacteria and acids to maintain its natural state. There are many other tecniques and tricks you can do to stop acne and properly remove scars. I haven’t seen a pimple since, so I’m scar free. If you need to know anymore you can email me at pink_panther_gurl_81@yahoo.com )
Hope I helped!
