Gentlest Home Remedies for Acne Scars

Which home remedies for acne scars actually work? And which acne

home remedies are safe for sensitive skin? Here are some of the

acne scar healing tips we have learned that are the gentlest and

safest for sensitive skin.

Having acne is a terrible experience, and even worse are the

scars that are left on your face long after the acne has healed.

It can take many months for acne scars to disappear, and there

are some things you can do to speed up the healing process.

Many people with sensitive skin cannot use traditional acne scar

treatments such as dermabrasion or collagen injections, which are

invasive and can cause irritation, rashes and other side effects.

Homemade acne treatments can be very effective, however for best

results we recommend that you create a comprehensive, whole body

acne treatment program which will help you clear out the root

causes of your acne so that you can prevent your skin from

developing more acne scars.

If you have very severe acne, you may want to consult a qualified

natural health practitioner that can assist you with creating the

dietary and lifestyle changes that will clear your skin and help

your body heal the acne scars. They can also guide you to find

acne scar treatments that are effective even for people with

sensitive skin.

Tips for Using Acne Home Remedies

* Skin Test FIRST - Even the gentlest acne home remedy might not

work for YOUR sensitive skin, so please be sure to do a skin test

FIRST on the back of your arm or the inside of your ear, to see

if these home remedies for acne scars will work for your skin.

* Be Consistent - choose a treatment, first doing a skin test as

I have suggested, and if your sensitive skin does not react to

the treatment, then use it faithfully for at least a week or two.

See how your face looks and feels before making a final decision.

* Find A Good Daily Routine For Your Skin - Using gentle,

fragrance free and hypoallergenic products will help you to

cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin without triggering more

acne outbreaks.

* Treat Your WHOLE Body - home remedies for acne scars are not

just something you dab on your pimples. You need to maximize your

body's miraculous innate healing and rejuvenating capabilities

by modifying your diet and lifestyle. I know, that's not so easy

especially in today's busy world! In order to clear your skin,

you need to drink enough pure water, exercise, eat fresh, whole

foods, and eliminate foods and drinks that trigger acne

outbreaks.

* Steam your face over a pan of hot water for one to three

minutes with a towel over your head. For best results, do this

morning and night.

face. Leave on for one to three minutes.

* Rinse with cool water.

* Gently pat your skin dry, then wait a few minutes until your

face is completely dry.

by itself.
