You've successfully treated your acne and there's only one thing left to deal with - acne scars.
If you experienced severe acne then it probably left some scarring on your skin. Acne scars are as unattractive as the acne itself so if you're looking for effective ways to reduce yours, here are a few natural home remedies you can concoct right in the comfort of your own home.
Sandalwood and Rosewater Paste
Both sandalwood and rosewater have cooling and soothing effects on the skin so they are effective ingredients for treating scars.
Just mix the 2 ingredients together to make a paste then apply to affected area. If you are applying the paste during the day, leave it on for more than an hour but if you're using it at night, allow the paste overnight if possible.
Wash thoroughly with warm water then pat dry with a clean towel.
Olive oil
Olive oil, aside from making our food more delicious, has plenty of health benefits. It does wonders for the skin including reducing acne marks.
Once a day, massage a little bit of olive oil onto the affected areas until you see the prominence of your acne scars have reduced. The olive oil will help moisturize your skin as an added bonus.
Ice cubes
Did you know that ice is an effective ingredient for acne treatment? Ice helps lessen skin inflammation, reduces the size of the pores and helps the skin smoother.
Because it is a quick relief, plenty of people also use it to reduce their scars produced by acne.
What you can do is wrap a few ice cubes inside a piece of a clean hand towel and gently rub it into affected areas for about 10-15 minutes each day.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is known for its healing properties, helping treat many types of wounds and scars including acne scars.
Aside from being an effective ingredient for treating and preventing acne, Aloe Vera is also often used to get rid of scars caused by acne.
