Acne scars are scary, isn’t it? They are scary because they are an
after effect of something very terrible and tolerating two terrible things in a row is not at all easy. We all know how acne causes
discomfort as well as embarrassment. On top of it acne is not even
easily curable. And leaves behind some very ugly looking scars that are no less discomforting and embarrassing than acne.

Common experience tells us that acne scars are caused when the pimples are scratched or squeezed out. Some times reactions to a particular acne cure may also lead to scars. Sometimes acne naturally leaves behind scars.

Whatever the cause, before trying out expensive creams and antibiotics do use some of the following home remedies for acne. Be patient and persistent as most of these will not cause any adverse reaction to the skin.

Prepare sandalwood paste with rosewater and sandalwood powder and add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply on the affected area. Allow it to dry completely. Then wash off with water. Regular applications nourish and lighten the skin.

Try applying cucumber juice or lemon juice diluted with rose water or plain water with a cotton ball.After letting it dry on your face wash off with only water and feel the difference.

Fruit pulp, that of apple, banana, or papaya is good for the skin tone. Mash the fruit and apply directly. Let it be there for 15-20 minutes. Then wash off with water.

Turmeric,  gram flour and fresh cream mixed together is another
excellent home remedy for treating skin blemishes.

Regularity and patience are the key to success, I mean, a glowing skin
in this case. Keep a check on your diet and state of mind too.
