With so many women having to experience acne breakouts, the concern around the marks this leave has been growing.

Acne breakouts affect your skin not only from the top most layer but from deep within. Though skincare products can subside the inflammation and the acne itself, they clearly leave a mark behind. An essential part of treating acne scars is being able to understand what they really are. Are these small indentations or depressions in your skin? 

If you are frustrated over how to treat those stubborn acne marks, don’t be. Since we have prepared for you a proper arsenal of organic ingredients you can use to reduce their appearance. 

Brighten Up with Lemon

Lemon as a very rich vitamin C source forms an indispensable part of a good skin care routine. The alpha hydroxy acid commonly found in lemon serves as a bleaching agent which aids to fade the scars on your skin. Additionally, vitamin C also helps in the build up of damaged cells and tissues while the citric acid eradicates dead cells. 

However, you must be super careful when you apply lemon as it can render your skin sensitive to UV light exposure. So, if you are smearing lemon on your skin during the day try to avoid direct contact with the sun. 

Naturally Smooth with Egg White

Breakfast is not complete for most of you without a sunny side up egg. As nutritious an egg is for your health, it's as great for the removal of acne scars. You can apply the white sticky part of the egg using a cotton ball directly on the scars in your daily skin care routine for glowing skin. Then leave it to dry out for some time, let’s say a few hours. Or if you are comfortable with the smell you can keep it overnight to accelerate the healing process. 

Aloe Vera’s Healing Touch

The aloe Vera plant is very common in each one of your gardens. But most of you are not aware of the benefits it can bring you. Yes, aloe Vera contains vitamins and serves as a natural ingredient that facilitates the skin healing process as it fades scars formed by acne. It is for this reason it’s found in the best skincare products.

All you have to do is cut open a portion of the plant and extract clear gel to be applied directly on your scars. Keep the gel on for about 30 minutes and then wash it with clean water. 

Olive Elixir for Clear Skin

Olive oil also serves as a natural remedy to treat acne scars on your skin. Just soak in a few drops of olive oil on a cotton pad and rub on the affected areas. The antioxidant compound in the oil will help remove the blemishes. Doing this everyday would produce noticeable results. 

The Star Solution of Tea Tree Oil

Every good skin care routine involves tea tree oil. This is basically an extract of the melaleuca alternifolia tree. The antimicrobial properties of tea tree oil render it suitable for eradicating acne scars. 

You can mix a little bit of tea tree oil, say one teaspoon in one tablespoon of carrier oil. Coconut oil, jojoba oil and almond oil can be used as carrier oils. Take a soft cotton pad and dip it in the oil. Then apply this on your scars. Once it's dried up, you can follow up with a suitable moisturizer. 

Tomato Pulp for Plump Skin

Tomatoes contain antioxidant rich Vitamin A and Carotenes. These are two vital ingredients for fading scars. You can either apply the tomato in the form of cut off slices or you can peel it and extract the pulp and apply that on your skin. Leave it dry for a bit before you rinse it off. Repeat this everyday for optimal results. 

Potato Slices to Banish Blemishes

Potato juice is now a common ingredient in the best skin care routine products. Highly rich in vitamins B6 and C along with potassium and flavonoids, potatoes serve as a great scar removing agent. 

Cut a potato into slices and gently rub on your scars. Do this every single day before you sleep to get rid of the scarring. Moreover, if you get any redness or itching on your skin, you can use potatoes to soothe it. 

A Sweet Farewell to Acne Scars with Honey

Besides being a natural humectant, honey is also a great skin lightener. It is for this reason many girls buy skin care products with honey as a major constituent.

You can either apply raw honey on your skin or mix it with a few drops of lemon juice in it. Regular use of honey as a spot treatment will help lighten acne scars effectively.
