Who likes scars and that too on face!

Getting rid of acne scars is a little tougher than eliminating

acne actually. Pimples can be naturally treated with many ingredients having anti-inflammatory or
antibacterial properties which are in abundance in nature. However, pimple scars are a little
stubborn as they doesn’t go easily. However, as the saying goes, nothing is impossible. It may take
some time but your regular efforts using certain natural bleaching agents as well as other
ingredients may lighten your acne scars and gradually remove them permanently.

Prevention is better than cure…

Before I go on to share some really beneficial home remedies to remove acne scars naturally, I want
to share some words of wisdom. There are certain things that you should avoid in order to prevent
forming scars at the first place. It’s not essential to have scars even if you get pimples!

Don’t play with your acne

Yes, keep your hands off your acnes! Don’t play with them, don’t pick them or squeeze them, just
leave them alone when you are not applying any remedy on them. Whatever you are doing to
remove pimples, do it with gentle hands. Why? I’ll tell you.
When you get acne, there is intense inflammation on your facial skin and there is loss of collagen.
Collagen is the protein fiber, one of the components of skin which gives skin its elasticity. When you
pick or squeeze your pimples, it leads to further inflammation and injury to your skin. It also leads
the bacteria and pus in your pimple go deep down into your skin resulting in more loss of collagen
which means even deeper scars on your face.

Don’t expose scars to sun

Your body is capable of taking care of your scars and they will get lighter with time. However, if you
expose them to sun, their healing process will slow down and the scars will get darker. So, avoid
sun. If it’s essential to go out in sun, use sunscreen to guard your skin and also cover yourself with
hat, umbrella, clothes- whatever you can lay hands on.

Natural remedies to Remove Pimple/Acne Scars

discernible after its aspirin treatment.
13. Baking Soda:
Baking Soda, king of home remedies works (Surprise!) for pimples as well. This is a zit

lemon juice, make a paste and apply on the pimple.

not recommend this remedy for people with sensitive skin though. It can cause
dryness, irritation and redness.

visit the doctor and get prescribed medicine. Treat acne promptly to get a flawless skin.
