There are different types of acne scars such as ice-pink scars, hypertrophic scars and atrophic scars. Some acne scars are mild and can be easily treated, while some scars become permanent and are difficult to remove. But please remember this: you can prevent acne from appearing on your face if you know how. So, let me briefly discuss prevention before we move on to homemade acne treatments.

1. Lime juice is a citric acid, which helps to remove the dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new skin cells. Apply lime juice directly on the acne scars with the help of a cotton ball. It lightens and improves the appearance of dark acne scars.

2. The last tip is probably the most important one – your diet has the ability to clear up or worsen your acne. Do you want to get rid of acne? The simplest way is to adjust your diet. If you wish to have worsened acne, then you will probably achieve that goal by just eating a sugary and fatty diet. A balanced and nutritious diet will provide your body with all the beneficial nutrients in order to function properly. A good diet will also improve your body’s immune system and maintain hormonal balance.

3. Drink kava kava and chamomile tea, two herbs which work to calm the nerves and treat hyperactive symptoms of ADD. Kava kava is much stronger than chamomile and should not be taken more than once a day; however, chamomile is safe anytime you like.

4. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which prevents excess production of sebum that causes acne. Tomatoes also have antioxidant properties, which help to improve the damaged and scarred skin. Make thin slices of a tomato and place them over your face like a mask. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash off with water.

5. One of the biggest factors of adult acne is your lifestyle. The way you live your life will influence your body and its health. Are you dealing with a lot stress as a professional? Does your working environment give your mind and body simply too much stress? You will want to avoid getting stressed excessively if you wish to get rid of your adult acne.

6. Acne breakout, as the pores get clogged with unwanted oil, dirt, pollutants and other skin irritants. The best ways to get rid of acne, is to get rid of the oil first. Mud packs are the best for this job and for getting rid of acne facial scars too. Mix 1 tablespoon of green clay, ½ tablespoon kaolin clay, 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel and 2 tablespoon rosewater. Mix these ingredients into a thick paste. Wash your face with warm water or steam it for about 5 minutes. This will open the pores. Immediately apply this mud pack on the face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes, till it dries out. Wash it off with lukewarm water, by rubbing it in a circular motion.

7. The explanation is that water can carry waste material out of our body and it truly helps heal and prevent acne flare-ups. If you would like to neutralise inflammation due to eating foods that increase skin volatility as discussed above, a good proposal is to start drinking lemon water. Seriously, start to drink lemon juice infused water for some days and I’d be shocked if you do not see at least a little difference in the way your skin looks
