Acne scars are the worst. I think we can all agree on that. Here are 5 remedies that you probably have right now at home that can help eliminate your dark spots and acne scars fast.
* Aloe Vera
Scars heal when there are moisturizing and soothing properties present in your treatment. Aloe vera contains these two… and then some. The antioxidants in aloe vera reduce swelling and redness, while its natural astringent removes excess oil and dead cells.
* Coconut oil
Really, any oil can work as long as it’s rich in omega fatty acids to penetrate and moisturize the skin so it can restore your skin’s glow.Coconut oil is especially great for this and is even recommended by avid users to make them a part of your daily regimen.Our favorite way to use coconut oil? Dab some under your eyes, on your lips, and bare brows in the morning to keep your face looking naturally fresh.
* Baking Soda
How exactly can baking soda help with removing scars? It balances your pH and acts as a natural exfoliator. In doing so, it eliminates dead skin cells and leaves you refreshed without damaging the skin around the scar.Using two parts water and one part baking soda, make a paste and scrub it on the affected area, rinsing thoroughly and gently after a minute.
* Apple Cider Vinegar
Need we say more? Apple cider vinegar has been touted as an all-around natural ingredient for everything from cleaning solutions to skin care.When it comes to treating scars, mix it with honey and leave it on for 10 minutes after applying it to the area. Do this up to three times a day for the best results.
* Onion Extract
If you don’t mind a little sting (don’t worry, it goes away quickly) then onion extract is another great option for you.With bioflavonoids, like cephalin and kaempferol, onion extract has been known to significantly reduce the appearance of scars after only a few weeks, with daily use, of course. Onion extract is also excellent for fighting acne. It has properties that reduce inflammation, redness, and soreness.
