Having acne is definitely bad but what is worse is those scars that acne leaves on our skin. However, just like a question has a probable answer, these stubborn acne scars have some amazing home remedies that will eliminate those monstrous scars from your face and will bring back the spotlessly glowing you.
1. Shea Butter
Applying shea butter on a regular basis will not only moisturize your skin but will provide all those essential nutrients to it that is required to heal broken down or scarred skin.
Lemon
Lemon gets its healing properties from the alpha hydroxy acids present in it that works as a natural bleaching agent and makes your skin sensitive to sunlight, giving your scar a fighting chance.
Turmeric Powder
Turmeric is another great home ingredient for treating acne scars as it contains curcumin, a compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that has the ability to reduce the excess formation of melanin and results in pigmentation of scars.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is known to have healing and moisturising properties that can reduce the swelling and redness of a scar and naturally brightens the skin. All you have to do is scrape a leaf of aloe vera and lather the scar with its gel. Make sure you cover your face with a plastic wrap. Keep it for 10 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is another amazing ingredient that works like magic for acne scars.The high quantity of omega fatty acids penetrate and moisturize the skin and gently treat scars. However, applying too much of coconut oil can cause the skin to breakout.
Onion
Okay! I know it will sting a bit but onion does work wonders for acne and its scars. Onion is rich in bioflavonoids that are known to significantly reduce the appearance of scars, inflammation, redness, and soreness.
