Home Remedies for Acne Marks
Home remedies for acne marks are very simple and effective with regular application.
• One of the easiest ways is by using acne masks of sandalwood. Sandalwood has a lot of medicinal properties along with being a natural component of beauty treatments. Blend together black gram powder, rose water and sandalwood powder to form a past. Instead of rose water you may also use fresh milk to blend the two powders together. Be sure that the paste is not too loose, apply this on all the areas with the acne marks, let it dry and leave it on overnight. You could then wash it off the next day by using a cotton swab dipped in ice cold water. This might make your skin dry and stretched by morning so dab your face with cold milk or you can also use a light moisturizer on the concerned areas.
• Another remedy to fade acne marks is by grating a cucumber into a pulp and spread that pulp over the affected areas and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also squeeze out the juice of the cucumber pulp and store and use it to dab your skin at regular intervals, this will also help to slowly fade the acne marks.
• If your skin is oily you can use a tomato instead. Take a cold tomato and cut it in half and rub one part of it onto the area with the acne marks. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then gently wash it off with some lukewarm water.
• Lime juice acts as a natural skin lightener and helps the new skin to grow. Take some lime juice, dip a wad of cotton in the juice and apply it directly on to the acne scars. Leave it on for 5 minutes and the wash it off.
