Acne is a difficult and sometimes embarrassing condition. And acne can sometimes leave behind permanent scars. Try the following tips to help you heal and get rid of your acne scars.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Water
  • Lemon Juice
  • Vitamin E
  • Healthy foods
  • Dermatologist
  1. Step 1

    Drink plenty of water. Water helps improve your blood circulation, which can also help your body heal.

  2. Step 2

    Eat a balanced, healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. The vitamins and minerals you get will help you heal your acne scars.

  3. Step 3

    Try lemon juice. This is a home remedy that helps remove old skin as well as give your skin elasticity.

  4. Step 4

    Apply Vitamin E to your scars. Vitamin E has been used for decades to help heal scars and improve the skin.

  5. Step 5

    Stay away from alcohol. Alcohol impairs the body's ability to grow new skin cells and repair itself.

  6. Step 6

    Relax. Stress can cause the body to slow down its healing process, so make sure to take time to relax and de-stress.

  7. Step 7

    Talk to a dermatologist about procedures such as microdermabrasion,dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing. These somewhat similar procedures help the body remove the top layer of skin, revealing healthier skin underneath.

Tips & Warnings
  • Avoid spending too much time in the sun, as it can damage skin as well as make acne scars worse.
