Acne doesn't discriminate; it affects both adolescents and adults. In addition to having to deal with acne, there are even harsher consequences: acne scars. Acne scars can be dealt with by going to spas for expensive dermabrasion treatments, but these can cause several side effects you probably want to avoid. Why don't you try some natural remedies that have proven to be great at eliminating acne scars.

To promote proper skin healing is actually not that difficult unlike common belief. To get a healthy skin you'll need to change your eating habits. Start consuming a healthy diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, white meats and a lot of water. A healthy diet will help you to attain those essential vitamins and minerals that our body can't produce. Some of the essential vitamins and minerals are the following: Vitamin A, E and B and zinc. In order to boost these essential vitamins and minerals, there are some tricks you can learn to do. These are just a few suggestions:

Tip 1: Pure shea butter contains vitamin A and all natural cocoa butter has vitamin A and E. These remedies both have properties to heal acne scarring. They will in addition refresh, moisturize, flatten and soften acne scars. This will make the scarring less noticeable.

Tip 2: To boost your vitamin A and B from the outside, try mixing carrot and cabbage juice with blueberry juice. Apply this mixture to the areas you want to treat. This is the recipe:

Mix 2 parts of cabbage juice with 2 parts of carrot juice (fresh) and 1 part blueberry juice. Cool down in the fridge for a while and apply the juice to the affected areas.

Tip 3: Another great home remedy is a mix of chamomile flowers with other scar healing herbs:

Blend 1 tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers (or a tea bag) and two tablespoons of elderflowers. Add the herbs in a cup and pour boiling hot water. Let it sit for a bit and then strain. Let the infusion cool down, apply to the areas you want to treat. You can do this thee to five times a day to see acne scar removal faster.

A second chamomile infusion can be done with lemon. Take three and 1/2 oz. of dried lemon balm leaves, 3/4 oz. dehydrated mint leaves and 1 oz. dried chamomile flowers. Pour very hot water (approx. 2/3 cup) over the herbs and cover with a plate. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then strain. Cold the mixture down and apply on the areas you want to treat, about 4 times a day.
