You can do this at home

Most acne sufferers have no idea how to treat their scars, and they don't realise that they can remove their scars from the comfort of their own home. You can remove the scars by using effective home remedies that'll be sure to work for the most of you. How do you think acne sufferers managed to remove their scars back in the olden days, it certainly wasn't from all those over the countre products from the local drug store, it was by using household ingredients!Did you know you can use olive oil to treat your acne scars? Thought not. Well yes if you rub 100% olive oil onto your acne scars, it will minimize the scars especially if they are quite new scars and it still may help if the scars are old. It some cases it may even eliminate the scars. I recommend rubbing olive oil on the scar areas about 4 times a day, keep trying this for around two weeks and you will see a big difference!

Vitamin E is also a very good acne scar removal remedy, you can buy Vitamin capsules from your local drug store, and what you do it break the capsule up, and use the oil inside the capsule to rub on your acne scars.

An old home remedy that is not used as much these day, is lemon juice. What you do is squueze some lemon juice onto a cotton pad and gently massage onto the acne scars. This will minimize the scars over a period of time and will improve your appearance.

Never knew you could actually treat your scars at home. You don't have to go through surgery if you can avoid it.

Thank-you I will try some of these tips. It seems to me that I have heard about the Vitamin E scar again.

Wow good tips to follow at home. I am applying sandalwood powder daily night and it is providing cooling effect and all the scars are lightening up. I suddenly started getting acne but your tips would be helpful. Thank you.

I´ll try the olive oil. But with the lemon I´d say be careful and don´t go under the sun, since that would give you stains and nasty spots.

Great tips. I never knew that there were some great ways to treat acne scars at home, but it is great that there are options.

Treating scars to create smoother surface has to be handled carefully. Adding oil will also add a layer that can prevent the skin from breathing. It can also make existing, active acne worse. Adding oils only camouflages existing scars, leaving the need to use a light diffusing foundation to create the smoother look you are after. Olive oil is a good substance, but is best on mature skin with old acne scars, meaning new outbreaks aren't occurring on a regular basis.

Removing some of the layers of skin around the scar and at the site of the scar itself is more permanent. If you don't like peels, then home microdermabrasion systems, home made facial scrubs, and even some home facials will do the trick!

Vitamin E is a great option if the scars are newer. Yes, you have to be careful about adding too much oil to the area, though, and causing current acne to be worse.

Olay makes a great home dermabrasion kit and Roc has a great home glycolic acid kit. Both have clear instructions and are not as harsh as what you might experience with a doctor's office.!
