Acne Scar Home Remedy

 

Although it is somewhat difficult to completely remove acne scars, contrary to what many believe a great deal can be done to lighten heavy or dark skin that is often associated with acne or blemish scars and remove some layers of damaged skin to give an overall better skin tone. Keep in mind that if the scarring is very deep, a professional grade dermabrasion will be necessary to remove deep or depressed acne scars as they are called.

Many don't realize it but scarring doesn't happen over night. It forms over a period of weeks layer by layer. So when you start an acne home remedy regiment, you need to keep in mind that key to this is to gently exfoliate layer by layer and day by day. The second basic step is then to provide your body with everything it needs to replace the exfoliated skin with new and healthy skin.

Here are some acne scar home remedies for you to try at home plus some no-nonsense advice.

Acne Scar Home Remedy -Home Made Microdermabrasion

You can give yourself an at home microdermabrasion by making a paste out of baking soda and gently rub the affected areas for 30 seconds or so. Then rinse. Many use cotton balls or some other soft material for this. Repeat this on a daily basis until you see some improvement and follow the nutritional and moisturizing tips below after doing your acne microdermabrasion.

A Helpful Analogy
Remember by essentially "abrading" the skin, you'll need to create the optimum condition for rebuilding fresh healthy skin. In a sense it's like what body builders do. When they work out they tear down muscle structure. They then fill themselves with proteins etc. and rest waiting for their bodies to rebuild the muscle structure stronger and hopefully bigger. With abrasion you're doing basically the same thing - creating the optimal condition for rebuilding healthy skin.

Vitamin E
Applying vitamin E to the scarred areas. Over time like lemon juice it will help to lighten dark areas and will improve overall skin texture and health.

Olive Oil
Olive oil is especially useful in hydrating skin especially after exfoliating with baking soda. It gives your skin the necessary moisture to conduct "repairs". You can also use collagen based moisturizers for this as well.

The Role of Prevention for Acne Scars
If you have a fresh scar, applying aloe vera to the skin will help your skin naturally heal and will help reduce the size and severity of the scar. Truly prevention is worth a pound of cure. So being pro-active is best.

Diet is Important
If you've gone to all the work of exfoliating on a daily basis, then it's time to step it up with diet. Some fruits and vegetables promote collagen production naturally, which is what you need to get better looking skin. Some important foods that promote this are dark red colored foods like grapes, beats, blue berries. Also leafy green vegetables like asparagus and kale promote collagen development.

Omega Acids
Lastly boosting the amount of omega acids in your diet creates an excellent environment for optimum collage production. Foods rich in omegas are nuts like pecans and almonds. Vegetables like avocado and fish like tuna and wild salmon also boost collagen production naturally. This will give your body what it needs to repair those acne scars.
