Sweet adolescence and sweet teenage! It denotes the gateway of youth! But the road is not that smooth! Adolescents have to go through a wide range of physical, hormonal and mental changes or challenges at this point of time. And acne and the associated scars, seem to be the most common complaint of most of the teenagers. Acne heals with time, but the scars remain. So the aftermath of getting acne continues even if an individual passes from the adolescence to the glorious years of youth.
Some acne scars are too deep and they may require dermatological treatment. The less severe ones can be reduced through some remedies like:
- Honey: Honey has an unusual combination of vitamins and minerals, all of which are required for a flawless skin. Applying honey mixed with some lemon juice on such scars helps in getting rid of the blemishes. You may expect clear, brighter and softer glowing skin.
- Sandalwood: Sandalwood powder mixed with rose water helps in treating acne scars and in reducing facial hair as well.
- Lemon: Lemon acts as a natural bleaching agent on your skin. Apply lemon juice with a piece of cotton on acne scars. It reduces the melanin from the affected area and rectifies the skin tone. But lemon juice can cause the skin to become dry. So don't forget to use a good moisturizer once you wash it off.
- Tomato and Cucumber: Tomato and cucumber together form a good combination of natural bleach and antioxidant. Their combined effects help in getting clearer skin.
- Egg: Egg white has a good amount of protein and other essential vitamins and minerals which help in getting rid of acnes and acne scars and in producing an overall beneficial effect on the skin.
- Turmeric: The application of turmeric paste on acne and acne scars is one of the oldest and perhaps the best remedy! Its antibacterial and antifungal effects also help in reducing the incidence of acne.
- Milk: Apply chilled milk on face with a piece of cotton and then try to massage your skin with it. You can either use plain milk or may add turmeric or cucumber juice to it! This will help you in getting an even skin tone apart from helping scars and blemishes to disappear to a considerable extent. Your skin will start looking brighter as an immediate effect. If you have acne on your face, then try not to touch the existing acne since this can further aggravate it, causing infection.
- Healthy Diet: Eating plenty of juicy and citrus fruits as well as green leafy vegetables will provide good nourishment to the skin and will definitely contribute toward skin health. Your skin needs to stay hydrated in order to remain in good health. Remember to drink plenty of water. It will help you to get rid of acne and acne scars and will add a healthy glow to your skin.
