When you have just cleared your acne and are then left with acne marks it can be very difficult thing, and many people go to drastic lengths such as surgery or skin peels etc before seeing if other cheaper and more safer options work first with less risk of side effects. So before you go straight for those options I am going to show you how to get rid of acne scars at home so you will not have to get surgery or any of the other procedures done unless your scars are very deep and will need surgery to be corrected.

1. Ice cubes – Placing ice cubes in a cotton towel and holding it over the effected area for a few minutes will help to reduce inflammation and the appearance of the acne scar.

2. Aloe vera gel – Rubbing aloe vera gel onto your scars will help to soothe the skin and reduce the redness. If you have never used aloe vera gel for your acne I would highly recommend it as it is extremely effective and has a high % rate of being successful for most users.

3. Nettle tea – Consuming a few cups (3-5) per day of nettle tea will greatly reduce the appearance of acne scars. Nettle tea will help by cleaning out toxins, reducing stress and balancing the hormones will are all massive contributors to why we get acne.

4. Lemon juice (diluted) – Rubbing diluted lemon juice over the scars will help to lighten them. The reason for this is because lemon juice is a good skin whitener and can also help to lighten hair.

5. Cucumber – Blending a cucumber and applying it as a mask over your face will help to soothe the skin leaving it looking fresh and healthy reducing the appearance of scars.

Hope this has helped and you know know how to get rid of pimple scars (acne scars) in the home and you will now not need to get any dangerous procedures done.
