How To Get Rid Of Acne Scars At Home

Acne scars have been a big problem for me, and I have often looked at how to get rid of acne scars at home experimenting with many different natural remedies. One way to get rid of scars from acne would be to spend your life savings on laser surgery etc, but for most of us that is not an option due to many different reasons. And in my opinion there is nothing better that natural remedies for treating acne scars.

Over the years I have used my fare share of treatments and have now narrowed it down to the ones that have been most effective for me and the people I have recommended these treatments to.

These treatments are.......

1. Manuka Honey: The manuka honey contains many active elements such as anti-inflammatory, anti-septic- anti-viral and also contains many more. Apply the manuka honey every 3-7 days as a mask and leave on for a minimum of 30 minutes, wash of with lukewarm water. This will reduce inflammation and give the skin a nice clean look and glow.

2. Aloe Vera Gel: The gel of the aloe vera plant can greatly speed up the healing of scars and reduce inflammation. Rub the gel of the aloe vera on the effected area daily.

3. Nettle Tea: The herb nettle has many powerful curing properties. Drink 4 cups of nettle tea per day to get the maximum benefits from this wonderful herb.

4. Garlic: Rubbing fresh garlic on the scars should treat the acne leaving no marks after repeated applications.

5. Strawberry Leaves: Apply the leaves of a strawberry over the effected area. Strawberry leaves help by the alkalinity effect they have on the skin.

6. Orange peel: Grind some orange peel with water until a paste like texture and apply to the acne. This is one of the best home remedies for acne and acne scars.

7. Cucumber Paste: The cucumber is on of the best weapons when fighting acne, its not only great to eat but also as an acne mask. Blend the cucumber into a paste and apply to the face, leave on for 30 minutes. This will reduce the appearance of scars and give the skin a fresh look and feel.

8. Vitamin E: Eating foods that contain vitamin E and taking a vitamin E supplement can really help the skin heal quickly. Look out for Vitamin E supplement that do not contain gluten.

9. Green Clay: This has been used for centuries as a skin treatment, and for good reason to, its really effective. Mix 1 tbs of green clay with water and apply to the skin, leave on until the mask has set then wash off with lukewarm water. This will brighten the appearance of marks and give the skin a freash clean look.

10. Water: Drinking 6-8 glasses of water per day is essential. By drinking fresh water everyday you will be flushing the body of toxins and helping the body naturally heal the body including acne.
