Acne scars can be more of a problem than acne because it takes a long time for them to go away. In fact, some of them stay forever on your skin. It's best to see a doctor if your face has too many acne scars. If the scars aren't big or deep however, consider treating the scars in your home using natural treatments. Here are some home remedies for acne scars that should restore the glow of your skin:
- Drink lots of water
- Eat fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain lots of vitamins and minerals that can help your skin restore its former beauty. They also contain juices which keep your body hydrated every day. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables to make your skin grow healthier and heal acne scars.
- Lemon juice is LIFE: Lemon juice is a kind of citric acid that's very effective in reducing or getting rid of acne scars. Drink a decent amount of lemon juice each day to help your dead skin cells shed faster. New skin cells will also grow healthier and add elasticity to your skin if you load up on lemon juice.

I buy my aloe vera fresh from organic grocery stores.
- Treat your scars with tomato: Don't judge me. Here me out first! Tomato is rich in vitamin A, making it effective in stopping the overproduction of sebum that causes acne and acne scars. Tomato also has antioxidant properties that rejuvenate damaged skin. Slice up a tomato every day and place it over your face to quickly reduce your scars.

- Rose water and sandalwood: Make a paste of rose water and sandalwood and gently apply it on your acne scars. Leave the paste on your skin overnight then wash it with cold water the next morning. Do this regularly together with other natural treatments for acne scars to get rid of the scars as quickly as possible.
- Rub them with ice cubes: Lots of people use ice cubes to get rid of their acne scars at home. Wrap an ice cube in a piece of cloth and rub it on affected areas for 10 to 15 minutes every day. This should lessen the inflammation on your skin, making it look smoother.
- Make your own face mask: Mix one tablespoon of ground oatmeal, plain organic yogurt and organic honey, then add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture on your acne scars and leave it there for about 30 minutes. Rinse it off.
I'm still experimenting to see what works for me...for now my skin is still clear, even-toned, and smooth.
