How can I get rid of acne scars?
When i was younger i had terrible acne. Now i am older it is gone even though i still get the odd pimple or two. I have quite a lot of scars from the acne. Being from Australia it gets hot and my face would get really oily therefore promoting the acne. I've heard of people using certain natural oil creams and things like that to help the scars be less visible. I don't want to go through laser treatment or anything i was just wondering if anyone could tell me some good cream or remedies that may help with them?
Answers:
putting vitamin E on your skin helps a lot!!
Creams and lotions like "bio oil" plump up the skin temporarily but they are only cosmetics and outrageously expensive; any moisturizer will do the same job.
Laser treatment can work but it is hugely overrated so chemical peels may be the only option; care must be taken because it can cause even more damage - consult your doctor first.

I know exactly how you feel. i had acne on my face, shoulders, and back, thats now dissappeared and left me with lots of spots.mederma for scars is great! ive been using it for like a month and a half and my scars are clearing up nicely. your skin does peel though. but thats what lets you know that its working. its about 30 dollars for a small bottle. but trust me its worth it!
1) Make facial wash by using lemon and rose water. Mix them together and apply the liquid on your face. Leave it for a few minutes and then wash off by using cotton pad soaked in warm water.
2) Use egg whites to treat your acne; apply the egg whites on your face and leave for 10 -15 minutes. Then wash your face with cold water.
3) Mix oatmeal and natural yogurt and apply on your face for a few minutes. When you feel the mixture dries on your face, wash it with warm water.
4) Take a cotton pad and dip it in rose water, clean your face with the rose water a few times a day to get better looking skin.
5) Take one lemon and squeeze its juice. Apply the lemon juice on the acne pimples and leave for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. If your skin stings from the lemon, wash your face before the 20 minutes are over. (This is an astringent and may be too drying for your skin)
6) Apply garlic cloth on the acne to make it heal faster.
