What Makes Acne Scars Vanish?
Certain types of acne scars can be irreversible, such as deep, ice-pick style acne scarring. Other types of acne scarring, such as skin discolorations and hyper-pigmentations, can be treated and can vanish from the skin. There are many ways to treat acne scars and discolorations that are easy to use and can be found in your own kitchen. Here are a few of the best.
-
Lemon Juice Toner
-
Apply freshly squeezed lemon juice directly to the acne scars. Lemon juice contains high amounts of citric acid, which can lighten the skin and encourage cell turnover.
Baking Soda Exfoliating Scrub
-
Mix baking soda with water until you form a paste, and massage it gently into the skin. Baking soda can lighten the skin and can remove dead skin cells gently and quickly.
-
Apple Cider Vinegar
-
Apple cider vinegar can be applied topically to the skin and can help protect the skins acid balance. This can allow the skin to repair itself quickly, allowing new skin cells to form.
Urine Compress Treatment
-
Urine contains high levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as hormones that can help promote new cell turnover. Urine is completely sterile, and can be applied to the face using cotton pads.
Vitamin E Oil
-
Vitamin E oil helps protect new skin from damage and can be applied directly to the acne scars and discoloration using a cotton swab.
