Teens and adults alike can be affected by acne. 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.

In order to heal properly, the skin needs a variety of vitamins and natural antioxidants not only to promote scar removal, but to look and feel its best. The easiest way to do that is to start eating healthy. Some foods you should include are: fruits, vegetables, nuts and a lot of water. A healthy diet will help you to attain those essential vitamins and minerals that our body can't produce. Zinc and Vitamins A, E and B are all essential and they all promote healthy skin. 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. Both these natural remedies have incredible 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: Knowing the right recipe is the best way to boost your vitamin a and b supply. This is how you do it:

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

Tip 3: A mix of chamomile and other herbs and flowers will also help to reduce acne scars. Here is an infusion with chamomile:

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. Cool down the infusion and apply to all the areas where you want to get rid of acne scars. To achieve acne scar removal faster, do this about 4 times a day.

Another chamomile infusion is one 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.
