People can have mild to severe breakouts of acne. If care is not taken of these breakouts, or they are forced to open then they can leave scars. So how to get rid of acne marks? There are some good home remedies available that can help you get rid of most of the acne scars. Moreover, if you take acne marks treatment with these home remedies, there are hardly any chances of side effects.
1. The first remedy utilizes a common cooking ingredient found in most kitchens --- white vinegar. The easiest way to use it is to simply soak a clean cloth in some and apply it to the affected are. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and flush the area with cool, clean water. I recommend distilled water as it is the cleanest water to use.
2. To fade dark brown spots, a bleaching cream which contains hydroquinone can be effective. Certain bleaching creams are available without prescription. While buying a bleaching cream OTC, make sure it contains 2% or less of hydroquinone, as more than this is not legal.
3. This is an age old home remedy for acne as well as acne scars. Make a paste of sandalwood powder with rosewater and apply it all over your face and neck. After the paste dries completely and becomes a mask, wash it off with lukewarm water. Sandalwood not only gets rid of the acne scar but it also gives you a smooth skin.
4. Some remedies are better taken internally since the cleansing of the liver may be a key to curing acne and other skin problems. However, caution should be used to be sure you do not have any underlying condition that would preclude the use of these herbs. A tincture of milk thistle, which is used for liver cleansing, and dandelion, which has insulin in it and helps remove bacteria from the body, can be used for this purpose. Try 30 drops in water 3 times daily. Additionally, you can consume a tea of echinacea to reduce inflammation and promote good overall immunity.
5. Following a good balanced diet can greatly help in getting rid of acne scars naturally. Eat lots of fruits and salads, to restore the natural beauty of the skin. Drink a glass of carrot juice daily in the morning to clean your stomach, and face the acne scars. Carrot juice is also a good natural acne prevention remedy. Eating a nutritious diet will also help you fight against infections, and thus prevent any breakouts of acne.
6. Other herbs that are recommended for treatment of acne are red clover, burdock root chaparral, yellow dock, strawberry leaves, and turmeric. Red clover, burdock root chaparral and yellow dock cleanse the blood of toxins; these should be made into a tea and used as a warm body rub to remove toxins and cleanse the skin. Strawberry leaves are alkaline and are good for cleansing the skin and reducing inflammation; wet them down and place them directly on the skin. Turmeric has antiseptic properties; taken internally with milk or added to a paste of young neem leaves (or mixed with vinegar if neem leaves are not available) and applied to the skin, it has proven to be very beneficial.
7. Use aloe vera gel on your acne marks and watch them disappear overnight. Aloe vera can also be used for hair problems. But it is better if you use natural aloe vera instead of the products that claim to be aloe vera based.
