Treat Acne Scars

Acne scars are the result of popping, scratching, or picking at pimples/zits. Acne scars can show on your face as an indent in your skin, a lump, or even a discoloration. Pigmentation scarring is very common. This is a discoloration on your skin that can be: pink, red, brown, or yellow depending on your skin color. Pigmentation scarring is the most common and goes away with time. Acne scars are treatable and can be just as embarrassing as acne itself. So if you've worked hard to rid yourself of acne, you definitely don't want scars on your face. If you have acne and wonder How do you get rid of acne? Check out my other hub. For those of you who are just concerned with getting rid of those ugly acne scars I will explain a few ways to do it in this hub.

What you eat and what you drink can affect your skin. I recommend drinking a lot of water, try to avoid soda's sugary juices and other beverages that can cause oily skin. When you drink a lot of water your skin is hydrated. This will cause you to shed off the dead skin that reveals acne scars.

Eat more fruits and especially vegetables. Try to avoid grease fast foods and snacks. Eating healthy foods will provide you with many vitamins and will help your skin grow healthy ridding yourself of embarrassing acne and acne scars.

A very popular remedy is lemon juice. Lemon juice is high in citric acid which will help to eliminate acne scarring like pigmentation scarring. It will also help your skin become more healthy and build a defense against acne in general. Drinking a lot of this will be very beneficial to someone struggling with acne and acne scars.

As long as you maintain a healthy diet and rid yourself of greasy and sugary foods, you are well on your way to ridding yourself of acne. Just simply rubbing creams and lotions on your skin won't cure your acne scars so it is important to stay persistent with your new dietary habits.

There are many medicines out there in the form of lotions and creams that are said to get rid of acne scars. These options may work but there are also natural ways to fight your acne scars. One simple way is to use vitamin E. You will need Vitamin E pills(with gel in them), a needle or scissors, rubbing alcohol or wipes.

1. There are different ways to go about this, but I recommend taking the needle and cleaning it with the alcohol wipe.
2. Poking a hole in the vitamin E pill and squeezing the gel out onto your finger.
3. Applying the gel to areas on your skin with acne scarring.
4. Leaving for 6-8 hours before washing off. I recommend doing this before you go to bed, and washing it off when you wake up.
   

Eating healthy and treating your skin are great ways to help rid yourself of acne scars.  But also live a healthy life.  Be active, take up a sport or a hobby.  Try getting away from the computer and T.V. and go outside and get active.  Try playing soccer, football, take Kung Fu class.  If you eat healthy and live a healthy life, you stand a better chance of naturally ridding yourself from alcohol.  But remember after an exercise received from a physical activity, wash your face.  This will help prevent more acne.
