Using Homemade Solutions Known To Help Fade Acne Scars

By Williams Topinka


There are numerous topically applied solutions available at local pharmacies that are formulated to fade acne scars. But before you head out to buy some of them, you might want to try out some homemade alternatives first. They involve the use of all-natural and effective ingredients. You will find that lightening those skin imperfections need not be expensive.

In fact, you don't have to pay for anything especially if the necessary things are already in your kitchen. Because there are no harsh chemicals involved, skin irritation may be avoided. There are no side effects to worry about that can only add to your cosmetic dilemma. See which of the homemade solutions below seem to work extremely well for you.

Some fruits are acidic in nature and they can help in reducing the appearance of blemishes, in particular dark ones. Vitamin C in them also helps in tissue repair. Apply the juice of pineapple, orange or lemon straight on those imperfections. Let it stay there for a few minutes before you wash it off. If you feel a stinging sensation, weaken the juice by adding water.

Placing tomato slices on those unsightly marks can help lighten their appearance. Antioxidants in it help fight off harmful free radicals to prevent aging signs and even reverse already existing ones. Try placing the tomato in the refrigerator before slicing it. Doing so can soothe the skin, give it a healthy glow and make those large pores less visible.

Liberally apply milk on the face with the use of a cotton ball. Lactic acid found in it is effective in lightening dark pigmentation. Also, milk contains protein that can heal skin severely damaged by acne. Putting honey on problem areas may also be done. Allow it to stay there for minutes to hydrate the cells and accelerate their regeneration.

Check your medicine cabinet for vitamin E supplement. Get a capsule, prick it and directly put the oil on unsightly marks. Vitamin E contains powerful antioxidants. It can also hydrate and protect skin cells. It's also possible to use almond, lavender, jojoba or tea tree oil. If not available, applying coconut oil or olive oil topically can do wonders as well.

There's a plant that is known to fade acne scars effectively, and it's called aloe vera. You simply have to break off a leaf and apply the gel on blemishes. Crushing fresh basil leaves may also be done to extract the juice which can lighten dark spots.
