Get rid of acne scars(beijing today)Updated: 2007-03-16 09:25 A good complexion is
the first thing many people notice in an ordinary girl. I always hoped to have
good skin - at least skin that was clear and smooth.
Unfortunately, my skin is a mix of oily and dry regions, and I've have acne evr since I became a high school student, even until now. While it always cleared up with time, each bout with acne left me with a few new pits and scars. Getting rid of the marks has been a constant, if tangential, quest of my life. Some of the home remedies I've tried are in this article. Look them over and give each a try. Stick with whichever works best for you. When it comes to managing acne, experience is a powerful teacher. Remedy 1: Vitamin E Try applying vitamin E to the scarred area three to four times daily to help reduce its visibility. If you keep at it, you should see some results after one to two weeks. It takes a long time before you get really noticeable effects. Remedy 2: Tomato Placing slices of tomato on your skin can act as an astringent to break up oil, lift away dead skin and help prevent acne. The pulp of the tomato has the strongest astringent properties. Remedy 3: Toothpaste Apply a dab of toothpaste on your pimple before bed. This is useful for new pimples, especially big ones. Whenever I spot a new pimple, I try this. Usually the next morning, it will be dried out enough to pop on its own. Remedy 4: Honey and pearl A useful facial pack for acne is honey and pearl powder.
Remedy 5: Lemonsf Lemon juice is effective in lightening the dark spots left by acne and pimples. First, cleanse the scarred area with water. Soak up a teaspoon of lemon juice with a cotton ball and smooth it over the marks. Leave the juice in place for ten minutes, then rinse. Be careful how often you use lemon juice: it can have the side effect of
making your skin light sensitive. Make sure to cover treated areas with
sunscreen before going outdoors.
