You can create your own scar skin care plan to even out your skin tone. It doesn't have to be an expensive process involving the use of harsh chemicals; you can reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes by using natural skin care scar remedies.

Things You'll Need

• Lemon juice
• Cotton balls
• Baking soda
• Filtered water
• Olive oil
• Fresh fruit
• Rosehip seed oil
• Petroleum jelly

Instructions

1. Lighten acne blemishes using lemon juice; take a cotton ball and dab it into 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Leave it on your face for about 15 minutes, then rinse it off. Be sure to use sunscreen after this treatment, as lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

2. Exfoliate your skin using baking soda. Mixing 1 tsp. baking soda with 2 tsp. of filtered water and rub it gently onto your scar. This will help remove the damaged and scarred skin.

3. Put olive oil on your skin to help it heal. Gently massage olive oil onto your face. Olive oil is a natural moisturizer and will improve the elasticity of your skin and make it more supple.

For extra skin healing benefits, blend the fruit juices and rub the mixture on your face to give your skin a more even tone.

5. Rub rosehip seed oil on your skin to reduce the appearance of scarring. This oil can fade scars and blemishes over time. Use it daily for the most dramatic results.

6. Apply petroleum jelly to your scars every night before you go to bed. Petroleum jelly is an affordable skin care scar remedy; it helps keep your skin hydrated and reduces the redness from scars.
