There are a variety of ways to help reduce the appearance of acne scars and promote healthy skin. Various remedies are available over the counter, many of which can help people manage their acne and reduce the appearance of scars.
- Aloe Vera
Remove the dark green “skin” from the flatter side of an aloe vera leaf. Scoop out the almost clear light green gel. Apply the gel directly to your scar using circular motions. After half an hour, wash the gel off with fresh, cool water. Repeat twice each day and you will see the results.
2. Baking Soda
Baking soda may help reduce acne breakouts and manage pain and inflammation of the skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. If people choose to use baking soda to treat acne, it is best not to use it every day and to only use minimal amounts.
To do this, make a paste by mixing 2 teaspoons of baking soda with a little water. This paste can be directly applied to pimples or other acne lesions and left on for 20 minutes before thoroughly washing off.
Applying a moisturizer immediately afterwards will reduce the risk of the skin drying out.
3. Vitamin E
Cut open a vitamin E capsule over the scar and squeeze the oil onto the scar you might need more than just one capsule to get enough liquid for full coverage. For about 10 minutes, massage the oil on and around the scar.After about 20 minutes wash off the oil with warm water.
Repeat this process a minimum of 3 times per day.
